STorM32-Link refers to a communication link between the STorM32 gimbal controller and a drone's flight controller for exchanging low-level data, in order to achieve advanced performance which otherwise would not be possible.
The primary goal of the STorM32-Link is too overcome two general and hard-to-tackle issues, namely the drifting of the yaw axis and the tilting of the horizon in high-g flight maneuvers, such as high-speed turns. The respective mechanisms are called Yaw Drift Compensation and Horizon Drift Compensation, and both are demonstrated in the videos below. The STorM32-Link may allow us to achieve further innovative features in the future, such as precision yaw pan modes.
The STorM32-Link messages are exchanged via the same serial (UART) connection which is also used for the conventional serial/MAVLink commands for controlling and operating the gimbal. However, albeit the same bus is shared, this part of the communication is not STorM32-Link.
STorM32-Link support is dependent on the autopilot/flight-stack which is being used; for specific details please consult Using STorM32 with BetaPilot.
