The information on this page refers to firmware v2.43e and higher.

Since firmware version v2.43 two- and one-axis gimbals are officially supported by the STorM32 controller, for both conventional and T-STorM32 (encodered) setups.

Since firmware version v2.63 the [GUI:Configure Gimbal Tool] supports the configuration of some two- and one-axis gimbals.

General

Some general points:

  • The unused motor axes must be disabled, i.e., the corresponding Pitch Motor Usage, Roll Motor Usage or Yaw Motor Usage parameter in the [GUI:Setup] tab must be set to “disabled”.
  • For some 2-axis gimbal configurations a 2nd IMU is supported, and then in fact has advantages.
