Hi,
I’m trying to connect a SIYI ZT30 Gimbal to my laptop via Ethernet. I am new to Mission Planner. I can’t get rangefinder data or connect the camera to Ardupilot Mission Planner. My goal is to have rangefinder data on the OSD and use it to run a custom script.
I got the video to stream to VLC and the SIYI software. In Mission Planner I get this error: “PreArm: RangeFinder1: no Data.
I’m using CUAV X7 +Pro flight controller. The gimbal is connected via RJ45 (Ethernet) to my PC.
I followed the guide to the best of my abilities and set all the following parameters:
SERIAL2_PROTOCOL to 8 (“SToRM32 Gimbal Serial”)
SERIAL2_BAUD to “115” for 115200 bps MNT1_TYPE to “8” (“SIYI”) and reboot the ardupilot
MNT1_PITCH_MIN to -90 2024 SIYI Technology, All Rights Reserved 82/172
MNT1_PITCH_MAX to 25 MNT1_YAW_MIN to -80 MNT1_YAW_MAX to 80
MNT1_RC_RATE to 90 (deg/s) to control speed of gimbal when usingRCtargetting
CAM1_TYPE to 4 (Mount / SIYI) to allow control of the camera.
RC6_OPTION = 213 (“Mount Pitch”) to control the gimbal’s pitchanglewithRCchannel 6
RC7_OPTION = 214 (“Mount Yaw”) to control the gimbal’s yawanglewithRCchannel 7
RC8_OPTION = 163 (“Mount Lock”) to switch between “lock” and“follow”mode with RC channel 8 Optionally these auxiliary functions are also available.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
