Title: Camera gimble
Post by: tomP on November 15, 2015, 04:52:24 am
I have a cc3d board that I was hoping to use to stabilize the tilt axis.  I also needed to control the tilt angle so that I could look down at the ground or the horizon.

I do not want to use the cc3d to run the quad.

I can get the tilt axis to stabilize but have never been able to adjust the angle with my spare control channel

I am just using a simple servo to control tilt

I think you can only do one or the other... or the gimbal stabilization function does not have a function to set a fixed position or switch off stabilization  (last time I used it)

So you can do stabilization OR if you just want a set/variable position you just set it up as a servo.

You should use an accessory channel for Gimbal control.

Be sure the accessory used for control is configured, check movements in Input tab.

I agree. no matter what I do it does not work right..   I have pitch stability  and when I enable accessory 0  it has no effect..

Any other software for the cc3d that might work??
thanks

Is the Accessory0 really active ? Check Rcinput.
Here is a quick config that work on my desk, i just set the Output channel (output6) and the input channel (Accessory0) for control

Please post screenshots : Rcinput, Gimbal, Output tab...
or config file File > export UAV settings and post here
