GUI (o323BGCTool) FAQ
General comments
- The AUX, BUT, and POT ports and teh Standby function are only active if the [Gimbal Configuration] parameter is set to "hand held".
- Any parameter with a "(na)" in its name is not active, i.e., doesn't do anything.
- With the [Write] button, the GUI parameter values are copied to the board, and become effective immediately. They are however not stored permanently in the Eeprom, i.e., changes will be lost after a power down. To store changes permanently do a [Write+Store], e.g. by clicking the check box next to the [Write] button.
Functions
Standby---But press (Hold button and standby is on. Release the button and standby is off)
Standby---But push (Press button and standby is on. Press the button again and standby is off)
RC Inputs tab - RC Mode Definitions
Relative = stays where you placed it via joystick
Absolute = follows the stick position, returns to level when joystick released
speed = limits maximal speed of tilts
accel = slows it down like panning (off = fast 0 - 100 slower = on)
max = the greater the number the more down it will tilt forward
min = the lesser the number the more up it will tilt back
To reverse the direction swap the min and max values, i.e. instead of e.g. min = -90 and max = +25 insert min = +25 and max = -90.
Tips from Olli
1) In the tools menu, find the option "Get Current Motor Directions". Once your gimbal has reached the state "Normal" you may activate it. It will copy the detected motor directions into the respective parameter fields, so if you do now a write+store it will henceforth directly use these motor directions and skip the auto motor detection at startup... this saves you some 7 seconds.
2) Step 1 doesn't work for the yaw axis, for the obvious reason that there is nothing such as "levelled" for the yaw axis. As a second consequence the "yaw offset" parameter doesn't work (its there for historical reasons, and because I might change behavior in future). In order to bring the yaw axis into the desired zero position, i.e., heading forward, you can change the startup position parameter.
