Power consumption
  • 3ToneSound
    Hello!

    I am building a Basecam 3.1 2.63b0 - based handheld gimbal, it has BGM 5208-75 pitch and yaw motors and 5208-200 roll. The gimbal is balanced well and works quite well, the motor power is set to 170 pitch and roll and 255 yaw
    The camera is about 1kg

    I powered it with 3x 18650 3000mAh cells

    Is it normal that in consumed 800mAh of each cell per 45 minutes and sounded a low voltage alarm? Is there any way to minimize power consumption? Should encoders help?

    Even beholder DS1, which runs the same board and cells, lasts about 1 hour longer, what is my problem?(

    Hello,
    Yes, encoders can decrease power consumption by using field-oriented control strategy to drive motors.
    Also, take a look on this fillable bars (vertical red bars): http://ybex.com/d/2mcoj0osia13s9r86gdlh9ze61j5t4p5591q16gs.html
    These bars shows how controller to use adjusted power level (Power parameter of each Motor).
    Axis with bad balance consumpt more power compared with well balanced axises.

    The encoders should make a huge difference.
