Some general points:
Please go to [[How to use 2 axis and 1 axis gimbals]].


* A 2nd IMU cannot be used, and must be disabled, i.e. the parameter {{PARAMNAME|Imu2 Configuration}} in the {{GUI|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE|off}}.
The following comments by users refer to the days when the STorM32 didn't officially support 1/2-axis gimbals. They might be of interest nevertheless.
 
* The unused motor axis needs to be disabled, i.e. the respective parameter {{PARAMNAME|XXX Motor Usage}} in the {{GUI|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE|disabled}}.
 
In addition to these, further points have to be considered, see below.
