I’ve been working through setting up an inexpensive STorm32 camera gimbal for my Hexsoon TD-650 quad-copter.
I’ve shared some of my results and questions on the FaceBook ArduPilot.org group - because I thought there might be some general interest in the topic.
I’ve come across a couple of technical questions that perhaps someone on this forum might be able to help with:
-
Both MAVLink and Serial connections work with my gimbal - as per the ArduPilot docs. Is there any reason to choose one connection over the other?
-
Using the PWM connections to the gimbal, configuring the gimbal in ArduCopter as “servo” type - seems to work - including stabilization in pitch and roll, but I’ve not tested it extensively. Would there be any reason to choose this method with a STorM32 gimbal controller?
-
I noticed in the ArduPilot documentation about the Gremsey Pixy-U that it says to configure ArduCopter to address it as a STorm32 gimbal using MAVLink-2. Does Gremsey use STorm32 on their products? Does STorM32 support MAVLink-2?
Any help with learning about these things would be appreciated. Many Thanks!
