H2 no longer working properly since firmware update
Verify joystick settings, do youstick calibration and make sure you are using same GUI version number as FW version number

Batteries, NP-F970 or 18650
Use 30 of NP-F970 it will be fine. Just make sure they are equally charged before starting to use them and and would be good to have somekinf of battery monitoring per battery, or just to be careful not fully discharging either battery. If one of th…

360 degrees gimbal with encoders?
See the encoder user manual, there is also an encoder with hole. But do you really need 360 rotation?

The motor poles are many and few
It is not that simple. If 14P provide enough torgue for your aplication choose that. But it really is not that simple either. not all 14P or 28 P motor are the same. What size of camera and lens? if around 1 kg total, go with GB54-2, it is a goo…

It depensts of many more factors, but generaly 14P smoother, 28P stronger.

who makes motors bigger than the ones Freefly MoviXL have
The around 16 ohms is good for extended board and alike they provide 1.5A for motors U=RxI = 16 x 1.5 = 24V that is also the maximum voltage the extended board can handle, so perfect match when used at 24V. For more tongue Pro Board is needed and l…

SimpleBGC 32 bit - all motors jerking uncontrollably
Is that thing balanced at all? You need to make sure the basic setup is performed excatly as per the instructions. ANd make the tuning holding it in hands like you would be using it.

Serial API + GPS to follow a moving target
That would work in to some degree at least, but some smart filtering to keep it smooth is likely needed. I would try just manually tracking it.

using three axis encoders with two IMU's
Yes, Camera IMU is all you need with Encoders. The Camera IMU is the one taking care of stabilisation. Frame IMU is just tell the gimbal positions, so that the stabilisation works well also on other positions than level. Encoders do that also, so no…

Control Via UART from PC
What do you want to do, I do not understand. Controlling Pan, Tilt and Roll is easy. Just look at the tutorial https://www.basecamelectronics.com/serialapi/ You need to build the complete message on your code.

Autotune in flight and other questions
You can have the autotuning to tune the LPF. If you change LPF manuallly likely PID need to be retuned. Why not connect over BT for testflight. You get also plenty of other useful information via the GUI. Just be sure not to rely on GPS only. Unlik…

[need help] 2 axis gimbal: Roll motor not enough power? PID?
You need to see the reason first, get it out from probeller downwash. This is probaly also tuning related. You have tuned it on ground, you need to tune it for flight. And it could be I2C errors due al the elektrical noice when motors are running.…

I2C Sensor Connection Failure - IKAN EC1

Yes, No battery power, it should power from USB so that you get GUI connection. Motors will not power from USB, but the LEDs on board should come.

I2C Sensor Connection Failure - IKAN EC1
Make sure you have a good USB cable and drivers correctly installed on your computer. Do not connect power to the gimbal, just USB and connect GUI. You need to get the gimbal working with the GUI first.

Can I use AN4 as a Analog Input to control a motor?
I have not looked into that, but is the 4th analog port available anywhere in GUI? Maybe on Adjustable variables tab, and then you could connect it there. Anyway, unless you put the potentiometers close to the board, I would advice using Serial API…

Cycle time high
You need to fix the i2C errors first, there should not be any. See the cabling.

v2.63 encoder problem
Have you verified that the number of poles is according the motor specification, if it is wrong it can work without encoders, but not with. Make sure you set all encoder parameters to zero before starting. Make sure also encoders work ok. see enco…

Drift yaw en lock mode
That is normal, follow mode follows the frame movemnts and when the frame is still is locked to the frame. lock mode follows IMU direction and IMU drifts. Better gyro calibration will help, but not remove the drifting.

Can i use other encoders than the ones given in the encoders pdf?
SPI is just the interface. Some encoders might have same protocol but I doupt it. why not just use the supported ones.

Sounds like basic setup is not correctly performed. After the basic setup is ok, auto tune all axis at once.

No RC_PITCH after upgrading to 2.63 b0
It is very clear, never use manual unles you need to perform emergency Flash. If you want to erase everything on the board use Erase EEPROM. No FW update needed.

Frame IMU Issues
You have too many things going on. You just need correctly addressed IMUs and reasobable length I2C cables running separate from other cables, and it will work. Note, some boards have build in IMU.

Important PROBLEM!!!
IMPORTANT NOTES: • In the "Regular" and "Tiny" controllers and their modifications, RC_ROLL input in this version of firmware is occupied by the SPI bus, so its alternative functions (Sum-PPM and serial) are moved to the AUX3 in…
