there is a couple of guys that are running PPM, I just started needing to do a gimbal.

I guess it is time for me to setup PPM.

I got a couple of questions as I am trying to setup my quadrino on a y6 w/ 2 axis gimbal output. . if possible.

1. Can I configure the ppm output channels in the arduino sketch? I need thr, ail, elev, rudd but I can't find that ppm setup in the sketch

2. Would it be best to solder pinheaders to the srv1 and srv2 to for the gimbal outputs?

TIA for your advice

When i was trying Gimbal (a while back) i was using PPM receiver and my potentiometer on my TX where already linked to the gimbal. So i can adjust the angle on top of stabilisation

I am gonna try to setup ppm rearranged for me (thr as ch1 etc).
I will report back how it goes.

Even doing that I am short one output. . . ? would it work to solder the spare pinheaders (came w/my board) to the servo outputs srv1 and srv2 , and use those to run the gimbal?? I don't know where to look for this info, it isn't on the delspec web page.
Edit: here is a relevant link
http://www.flyingeinstein.com/index....iguring-for-y6uploaded ppm y6 and hookin' it up to my copter right now. . .

I got the sum ppm hooked up and working from my DL.
dx7 owners you do not need to alter the spektrum ppm code ( I thought throttle needed to be at channel one but it worked as listed)
motors 1356 are connected to DCBA and motors 2,4 at Y and P.
T is doing duty for sum ppm input. . .

motor mixing seems to need help but that is operator tuning. LOL

Next up gimbal outputs

I found this about gimbal outputs

from Dialfonzo
For sure you can plug camera stab on Quadrino...!

In MultiWii code it's A0 and A1 output
on Quadrino it's call SRV1 SRV2

Soo, I am gonna pull my board and solder up some pinheadeaders adn give it a go. . . I will report back.

One thing is I am uncertain about activation in the arduino code, other than uncommenting this.

The following lines apply only for a pitch/roll tilt stabilization system. Uncomment the first or second line to activate it */
//#define SERVO_MIX_TILT

So , if I connect a PPM Sum RX to my transmitter, than I can get all of these options.
Gimbal use? Yes
Y6 for the configured Multi-rotor? I think so, but I haven’t tried Y6 and gimble setup
Aux 1-4 definately
Running the servos on a different BEC or Power from another ESC.
Is needed.
This would mean I don't need to use another gimbal controller?
Will there be enough free space in the eprom left over? Should be, none of these options add a lot of code

just a question, are you able to do gimble stabilisation with the quadrino and a hex copter ? has anyone tried that ?

everything worked. . . .I soldered headers to srv 1&2 powered my servos via a bec and uploaded arduino code. . . . now for tuning.


Thanks DA for the help

Yes. . . I just did Y6. . . all that needs to be changed is uncomment flat hex in the arduino sketch. . . . PM me if you have questions or just go back a couple of pages, i just learned how.

You do need:
1. ppm receiver and
2. solder 2 sets of pinheaders to the quadrino board.
The soldering went very easy

Pictures?

no more fpv for you guys???

Not going to let it happen!
You should start checking in your area, what is going on?
