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.

Roll-Only Gimbals

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:
