Hi, What are your experiences with slip rings? Do they cause 12C errors if the IMU is connected on them and wires going through the motor? What is with durability? Thanks, Tom.
I'm not sure there's much point in them unless you are going to get radical with your gimbal. I use one on the yaw axis as I have joystick, monitor and motor to connect so there's not enough room through the motor shaft. I don't seem to get errors or have any other problems. they do take some fine soldering though.
MShekunov, good question, but it is more about that I do not have to worry about wires when I transport or put gimbal in case. I have slip ring on yaw and work good, but think about put on other two axes. Major problem (if is) is IMU wire which hang from frame IMU to camera IMU. That not look good and always must care about hanging wire.
Forgive the forum res! Though I think activity is a little slower here so... *throws hands up*
Curious if there were any other opinions on this? Have been searching like crazy (thanks, Google) and this is still one of the only threads that tackles this topic. This post - https://powerbyproxi.com/slip-ring/ - is probably the only other resource I could find, but it doesn't really address a specific use re: gimbals etc. Thanks in advance!
My thinking is. These are brushes gimbals and that is great, no prushes that wear over time and cause problems, so why add brushes in form of slip rings, unless you really have to have 360 rotation.
