Some general points:
Please go to [[How to use 2 axis and 1 axis gimbals]].
 
* The unused motor axes must be disabled, i.e. the respective parameters {{PARAMNAME|XXX Motor Usage}} in the {{GUI|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE|disabled}}.
 
* A 2nd IMU is not used. It can be disabled ({{PARAMNAME|Imu2 Configuration}} = {{PARAMVALUE|off}}), or not, doesn't matter.
