VERY IMPORTANT:
Read / Write – Remember to use the “Read” / “Write” functions for each module. When you initially connect
the programmer to the module, ensure you click “Read” to populate the configuration window with the current
module settings. After making any changes to the configuration, click “Write” to write the new settings into the
module.
STEP 6: MODE SWITCH
The mode switch is intended to be setup on a 3 position switch on the camera operator’s transmitter. Standard
installation has the mode channel assigned in each module to the same input channel. This way the mode switch on
the transmitter controls all the modules at once. In our installations, we assign mode to channel 5 and operate it via the
3 position switch C on a Futaba 8FG.
The 3 modes are:
OFF:
This mode will stop driving the PWM output to the servos. This can be useful if there is a problem in flight that
necessitates turning the mount off remotely (snagged wire, loose plug, etc.). Additionally, cycling the mode switch from
“Off” to “On” and then back to the “Off” position will reset the system remotely.
FIXED POSITION STABILIZED:
This mode will stabilize the roll and tilt modules, but not the pan module. This mode
can be used for takeoff and landing, so that the CineStar will not spin around, which WILL happen if pan stabilization is
active on takeoff and landing. Additionally, this mode can be used for a single operator flying the system where they do
not need any slew commands. Fixed position stabilized will set the tilt angle to -5º tilt angle and 0º roll angle.
STABILIZED SLEW:
This mode will activate the stabilization and the slewing on the pan, tilt, and roll modules. This is
the mode that will be used when a camera operator needs to control the camera slew demands. This is the only mode
in which pan stabilization will be active. It is important to not attempt to takeoff / land with a 3-axis gimbal in “Slew”
mode, as the pan stabilization will cause the multi-rotor to spin around and could confuse the pilot. Only takeoff / land
in “Off” and “Stabilized” modes.
