I wonder then, why platforms like Mövi, Ronin, pilolfly, came-tv and other manage to do this? Some of them also got the AlexMos controller.

- So the camera-IMU cannot follow the frame IMU? - Could I use the compass of the flight control somehow?

Thanks Garug. I figured, the errors only occur during startup. After theat the gimbal runs without errors, so no problem during filming. A next challenge is, the the gimbals forward is always at a different direction, and not tied to the frame IMU…

Ok, great! Got rid of the errors with shielding the IMU cable with a ferrit ring. Now it's just one to three errors on a run. I think that's acceptable. The only thing that is not working to my wishes: Forward of the gimbal is not constant…

setting up new gimbal: sensor auto configure not working
I calibrated again and now it works more or less. But I now get a lot of I2C Errors. I tried to lay out the IMU cables seperate from all other cables. But I had to pull it through the axis hole of the Y-Motor. could that be a problem? what else? Tha…

I am using SimpleBGC GUI v2.56b7. Hardware is DYS 32-Bit Mini 3 Axis AlexMos BGC. BTW I never had any problems with wetransfer, but I understand if you don't want to agree with any terms. Is there a place on this forum, where I can upload the p…

Strange that the ACC_Z is constantly around 550. See screenshot of GUI. Here with no power connected, just usb: http://we.tl/GFCy62jRHl

I am sorry to sound stupid. I now searched the manual for ACC and Gyro calibration. But I cant't find any difference in calibration. The only option I got in my software ist the IMU calibration helper. And there is only one type of calibration …

Is it possible, the sensors are broken? How can I check whether that's the case?

Thanks Garug, will try that again tomorrow... What do you mean by "it does not nee to be leveled"? Does this say it is not so important whether the IMU is completley straight during calibration?

setting up new gimbal: sensor auto configure not working
Some weeks later, I reworked the Gimbal, set the controller higher, so the frame sensor can be further away from the motor, layed out the cabling better, so less interference can occur. I also deleted the eeprom, calibrated the sensors from scratch …

Nope, those I didn't touch. It's Cam - PITCH - ROLL - YAW.

A new problem arises: I want to cotroll pitch through the RC, roll should be stable. In the RC-Tab: roll: no input pitch: RC-Pitch PWM Pitch is in angle mode, mix channels is on none and 0%. But now, roll somehow follows pitch. When I tilt down, ro…

Yaw problems
I am having the same problem and I am trying to get rid of i2c errors. How do I know, which of the 2 sensors is causing the errors?

Ok, got it. I mistakenly tried to calibrate the z-axis with rotating the sensor in the yaw axis. Instead I needed to turn the system upside down.

Thanks Garug. Good to know. But why then wouldn't the Z-axis calibrate when I rotate the yaw axis?

setting up new gimbal: sensor auto configure not working
I've been going up and down the manual. I can't find any info on how to mount the sensor. Thing is, in the visual indications on the right hand side of the gui, everything corresponds fine when I move the gimbal, even though the sensor is …

Still desperately trying... Just for clarification, do I get it right: X = roll-axis Y = pitch-axis Z = yaw axis ?

Figured out now, how to calibrate the axis': Din't realize I had to click "calibrate" each time I moved gimbal into requested position. BUT: the -Z (yaw-) axis won't calibrate. Why would that be? Any help?

Somehow I got it working when I unchecked the "swap frame and main sensor" checkbox. But now the next problem arises under IMU calibratin help: it just won't accept my movements.
