If you configured ArduPilot as in your screenshot above (among others RC6_OPTION with 213 and RC7_OPTION with 214), then you should be able to pan and tilt the gimbal with your radio channels 6 and 7.

Like this? I tried but i get nothing just to remind you that i connected controls to searial

Which serial did you configure in ArduPilot for Siyi A8 mini (according to your pic you hooked it up to SERIAL4, whereas the instructions page used SERIAL2 - did you go with SERIAL4 instead)?

Elpidoforos_Anastasi · January 10, 2023, 4:30pm

Yes i used serial 4 what are the settings to change for serial port 4

What version of ArduPilot you have flashed onto the Pixhawk (which variant ArduCopter, ArduPlane, Rover, Sub? and which version)?

Elpidoforos_Anastasi · January 10, 2023, 5:34pm

I have uploaded the latest 4.3 i think and i have it plane mode

Risto · January 10, 2023, 5:48pm

You might want to recheck, as ArduPlane v4.3.2 fixed according to release notes Siyi A8 support: Release Plane-4.3.2 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Elpidoforos_Anastasi · January 10, 2023, 5:54pm

Just

You could check with the Siyi PC Assistant, if the firmware of the gimbal is the latest.
According to ArduPilot page, the fw needs to be v0.1.7 or later SIYI ZR10, ZR30 and A8 Gimbals — Copter documentation (presently latest is 0.1.8: A8 mini Firmware Pack - Google Drive )

If you move radio input controls, which you have designated for pan & tilt, can you see servo outputs 6 and 7 change in Mission Planner?

Elpidoforos_Anastasi · January 11, 2023, 5:01pm

Its working now !!! Thanks sooooo much!!!

Risto · January 11, 2023, 5:57pm

Awesome that it works now. What was the culprit?

Elpidoforos_Anastasi · January 11, 2023, 6:18pm

Hi Frank,

Getting into your hardware pretty happy on how every thing connects. We plan on using windows OS for our GCS ( mission planner ) and video (Siyi fpv app). You said you plan on putting the SIYI FPV App APK on the amazon app store when will you do that. You can run any APK App from Amazon app store on Windows 11. Google play is not urgent just convenient.

Hi Frank,

Here is a couple of links for the amazon app store setup.

Hi Frank,
I was able to sideload the siyi fpv app on windows 11. Fully functional with 2 cameras. Touch screen, laptop touch pad and mouse all work fine. i have connected the PC to the HM30 wifi. The app is in my start menu. On first startup had trouble with the last permission hit the esc key then restarted works fine. I recommend starting the app before connecting to the HM30 and setting the app settings first ( set camera settings to software not Hardware default ). Windows subsystem for android does not start until you open the app if close the app it is still running in the background so if you restart the app it opens staight away

Step 1. Open Microsoft Store app, search “Windows Subsystem for Android,” and click “Get”.

Get Windows Subsystem for android

Step 2. Click “Get” or “Install” on the Microsoft Store app.

Wait for the process to complete.

Step 3. Search to open Amazon Appstore in Microsoft Store, click “Install”.

Step 4. Click “Set up” and click “Download” > “Next” > “Restart”.

Install Amazon Appstore

After this, you are now good to go and install Android APK applications on your Windows 11 computers.

Last. Install Android Apps on Windows 11 from Amazon Appstore

Step 1. Open the start menu on Windows 11, and click “All apps”.

Install android apps

Step 2. Sign in with your Amazon account, and then you are good to select and install Android applications by clicking “Get”.

Get Amazon android apps

Step 5. Once the zipped folder opens, download and copy to save the APK file for a desired app to the folder.
