2 axis aftermarket gimbal install HELP

dougputt · Oct 18, 2019

Hi

Installed
RC Drone Camera Gimbal, Metal Brushless Gimbal Board BGC 2.2 for 3 / 3+ / 4 Camera from Amazon.com

and wired as per droneworships video, with the exception my board is upside down hence I'm using pin RX_PITCH, powers up and stabilizes but I cannot get the tilt function to work at all. Set RC6_FUNCTION to 1 using qgc ground control but no luck. Looks like a good connection on pin 14 of the board, but no joy.

Are there any other parameters need changing? Do I leave camera gimbal settings in QGC as 3dr with mavlink targetting? Gimbal tilt, roll, pan all disabled?

Ok, yes that's the same on I hooked up to..
No luck though..
Soldered that wire to pin 14 on the 3dr board and changed rc6 function to pass through oR option 1.
Did you have to do anything else?
