One-axis gimbals are not officially supported by the STorM32 firmware, but folks worked out how to set the controller up to get that working nevertheless.

Some general points:

  • A 2nd IMU cannot be used, and must be disabled, i.e. the parameter Imu2 Configuration in the [GUI:Setup] tab must be set to “off”.
  • The unused motor axis needs to be disabled, i.e. the respective parameter XXX Motor Usage in the [GUI:Setup] tab must be set to “disabled”.

In addition to these, further points have to be considered, see below.


ZaksterBlue's Solution

User ZaksterBlue at rcgroups has worked out how to get his roll-only gimbal working on his plane, see this post https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2055844-STorM32-BGC-32-bit-3-axis-brushless-gimbal-controller/page224&perpage=50#post40171175. He also has made a great video showing setup and results:
