Follow Mode in 2.3B5
Today I will implement Kikojiu's suggestions. I will have to do something with Pitch power as if I go up with I to 15, you know, it starts sounding like a clarinet. I get different notes with different I settings. For me I found the roll in ya…

Motor Invert
There is some logic there, but I have reversed wires, and used invert in software. Sometimes the only clue is "it works better" as it returns to neutral correctly regardless of invert. Some feel "Auto" is not accurate at finding …

Changing profiles mid flight
Yeah, I think it's in the RC settings, there is a place for that.

Yaw control not holding on handheld gimbal
The more power to the yaw, the better hold. My gimbal will do this too. The motor just can't hold the entire 8lbs of everything below it. But unless you really need it, it should be OK. Try turning up the power all the way and see what happens.…

Man I am excited, I see the light at the end of the tunnel...these recent changes have made a great difference. I will be adding my tests today. The footage looks unbelievable.

Using the EasyRig Mini with AlexMos Gimbals
Hi I am trying to implement some of your suggestions...still looks kind of stiff and rigid at times, like the frame vibrates moving from one direction to another. This is with and without Easy Rig. Last shot on easyrig http://jodagimbal.com/?p=318

Follow Mode in 2.3B5
Aircamera, thanks for the vid. I had the same problems with firmware 2.3b with it going crazy when switching into Follow Pitch Roll. I finally switched back to firmware 2.2b which eliminated the problem for me. The other solution I found was disabli…

Power-on shakes and rolls
We have found in 2.2 at least, that if you write a profile and power down, when you disconnect and power up it will be in that last profile. I just load my Joystick profile on startup and all is well. If I forget and it's starting in Profile 2 …

Power-on shakes and rolls
I still get this, but I jump into Joytick mode and it goes away. Someone told me this, but I have not tried it, Put Follow mode in Profile 1. Then in the GUI load profile 1. Now disconnect and power down. The gimbal should load into Profile 1 on pow…

This info will help a lot of people that can't figure out what happened after playing with deadband and expo...like I did a couple months ago and all of a sudden I have Roll in follow mode.

This vid is for Vandepoel using his suggestions for higher P settings on Roll and Yaw and Higher Gyro Compensations (mine was at 40) This is hand held not Easy rig http://youtu.be/FdCjbO76u80

Using the EasyRig Mini with AlexMos Gimbals
Thanks for that info. I noticed that I had much more problems with oscillations in 2.3 and I never got Follow mode in Profile 2 to work. ( I never thought of setting it to Profile 1 would make a difference). Once I went back to 2.2 everything was mu…

On this video I redid PID and Power. I have 2.2b reflashed. Here I have P around 10, I around .09 and D around 25 Power on Yaw 200, around 150 on Roll and 125 Pitch

This looks very good Vandepoel, similar rig to mine. I think it is better on the arms only, the rig adds up down motion. Did you see this comparison http://youtu.be/k5UUBRlC0BU

Follow Mode in 2.3B5
I gave in and I reflashed to 2.2. Follow mode is now working great, now back to tuning PID. (sigh). Seems like I am always going back in circles. But it's happily doing follow mode. (I also love using Joystick for pitch) in follow mode. I wa…

Follow Mode in 2.3B5
Yeah tried that and it does the same thing only in reverse. If I flash firmware it goes away for a while and works. I think it may be when I disconnect battery, next time I power on it comes back.

OK so I turned off the Gimbal for about an hour and when I came back and turned it back on, the problem returns. I filmed what it does, going from RC control of PITCH, YAW to Follow mode http://youtu.be/MinFTr93JE0

Just reflashed firmware and it went away. Puzzling. You told me kikojiu that some settings in firmware don't always hold. Perhaps this is the problem. I'll see if it comes back in the future.

I am going to try the re flash firmware and I'll also try pulling RC connection and see if that is interfering. One thing I noticed, in the interface my board shows as "Version 1.0" But I am told that it's a "Version 2"…

Follow Mode in 2.3B5
Yes, I tried this. 0º and 90º. 90º and 0º, 90º and 90º. No change. Lowered P and D, and power. No change. The only thing that stops it is disabling follow roll pitch yaw. If I leave follow yaw on and the other disable, it works. (I've set pitch…

Finally got back to the set up and my problem with "bop" mode (when the whole gimbal starts doing the shimmy and shake) with Follow in 2.3b5. No change no matter what motor inverts or PID settings I try. Or Gyro cal...It starts up if I eng…

I'd have to see how unbalanced it is, someone should shoot that first. Then cut to the example. Like was the camera rolling upside down before you turned it on?

Hi, I need help in connecting the power line from the Lipo
You have a choice of jumping + and - from the main board to the 3rd axis. Or running two + and - wires from the battery. Makes no diff.

Hey There my main man! Previous Firmware works great no issues like this. Sometime I can get it to work with the PITCH/ROLL follow after connecting Simplebgc, Cal Gyros, and writing to board. Then on disconnect and power cycle, it may go back int…
