	* 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.

			=== Stunt Double's Solution ===

			User Stunt Double at rcgroups has installed a roll-only gimbal on a FPV racing quad and demonstrated great performance and results, see this post (and followup posts in this thread):

New page

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 {{PARAMNAME|Imu2 Configuration}} in the {{GUI|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE|off}}.

* The unused motor axis needs to be disabled, i.e. the respective parameter {{PARAMNAME|XXX Motor Usage}} in the {{GUI|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE|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:
