Calibration of Encoders not working - El. field value always 1 after calibrating
OK, It was my fault. I got a new encoder from iflight. It works without any problems. So my conclusion: The encoder breaks immediately if the polarity is wrong. So please keep in mind to check the marking. I have to solder black to red and red to b…

Hello alexmos, do you know if the encoders get broken if the +- polarity is wrong?

Hi, I know this error. It came up some time if my stabilisation was not very good. I think it don't has to do anything with your poles or inversion. Have you checked your encoders in the monitoring tab or debug? Are they working without errors?

I am using the iflight Motors GBM 8108-90T (http://www.iflight-rc.com/ipower-motor-gbm8108-90t-brushless-gimbal-motor-with-as5048a-encoder-compatible-with-slipring-423.html). But now I found a big mistake. You are wright: The wiring was wrong. The e…

I am shure that the wiring is correct. But I will double-check an write again.

Calibration of Encoders not working - El. field value always 1 after calibrating
Hello, I checked it. All ENC-RAW_xx variables are always 0. And I have the same read errors on all three encoders. But the cable connection is correct. Do you have any suggestion? The encoders are all new and came with different iflight motors. Reg…

Thanks for your answer. I will check it. But I remember that I could never click on the "ENC_RAW_xx" variable. And I saw errors on all three encoders. But I am shure that they are plugged in correct. Regards, junk.box

Connect ONLY Yaw Encoder
I wasn't lucky till now to get my YAW encoder running. But I finished my Tutorial on YouTube. How to mount an encoder to a standard carbon fiber gimbal: I think I have to put encoders on all three axes to make it work with the encoder firmware.

Whats this for a Board?
Moin Benni, wo Du die Motoren anschließt, ist auch nicht so wichitg. Kannst Du auch in der Software ändern. Gruß, Timo

Moin Benni, meinst Du die Motoranschlüsse? Einfach das mittlere Kabel an den mittleren Kontakt. Die beiden äußeren Kabel kannst Du beliebig anlöten. Wenn sich hinterher etwas falsch herum dreht, einfach "invert" in der Software auswählen.…

I tested it again without success. I use now free firm 2.64b5 with the AS5048A,B (PMW) encoder connected to RC_Pitch. If activated ENC-RAW-Y in "Monitoring" shows 0. The white arrow is not spinning and I cannot see the "Center YAW axi…

Connect ONLY Yaw Encoder
Thanks for your advise. I tried both with free firm 2.62b4 - RC_Roll and RC_Pitch. It makes no difference. If I activate AS5048A,B (PMW) as type I can see no difference to the normal setup without encoder. Except for that the Yaw axis is not followi…
