The STorM32 gimbal controller is an electronic device.

This should have said it all, yet some specific don'ts:

* {{WARNING|'''Do not get any parts of the board into contact with the (plus pole of the) battery'''}}, this will immediately destroy the board.

* {{WARNING|'''The voltage on the POT and BUT pins must not exceed 3.3 V'''}}, else the board will be immediately destroyed.

* {{WARNING|'''The voltage on any of the other pins must not exceed 5 V'''}}, else the board will be immediately destroyed.

* The 3.3 V pins on the board should only be used as supply. {{WARNING|'''Do not apply voltage to a 3.3 V pin'''}}. {{WARNING|'''Do not connect a 3.3 V pin to a GND pin'''}}.

* {{WARNING|'''Do not use metal screws to mount the board'''}}. This can lead to short circuits. At the very least use plastic washers.

* {{WARNING|'''Do not power anything from the 3.3 V power rail except of the intended items'''}} (camera IMU, 2nd IMU, Spektrum satellite, joystick, IR led).

* On some boards the motor drivers are not short-circuit protected. It is recommended for new/unknown motors to measure the resistances of the motor phases and to the motor housing before the they are connected to the board.
