1) In the tools menu, find the option "Get Current Motor Directions". Once your gimbal has reached the state "Normal" you may activate it. It will copy the detected motor directions into the respective parameter fields, so if you do now a write+store it will henceforth directly use these motor directions and skip the auto motor detection at startup... this saves you some 7 seconds. | |||
2) In the tools menu, find a option "Get Current Motor Positions". Once your gimbal has reached the state "Normal" you may activate it. It will copy the current level positions into the motor startup parameter fields. The effect is that the gimbal will move the motors to a nearly level position quite as the first step in the start up procedure. This also makes the startup faster. | |||
3) Step 2 doesn't work for the yaw axis, for the obvious reason that there is nothing such as "levelled" for the yaw axis. As a second consequence the "yaw offset" parameter doesn't work (its there for historical reasons, and because I might change behavior in future). In order to bring the yaw axis into the desired zero position, i.e., heading forward, you can change the startup position parameter. | |||
