ZERO ANGLE CALIBRATION
Zero angle calibration serves to record the neutral, zero angle, positions of the joints. This is needed
both for the “STOW” mode but also for correct operation of the stabilization. To set the zero angle
calibration:
1.
Hang the Newton from a stable mounting point
2.
Make sure both Newton and Dominion are turned on and connected
3.
Activate “START ZERO ANGLE” in the Dominion
4.
Position the Newton so that all angles are at their neutral zero position
5.
Press “FINISH” on the Dominion
3.3.2
MOTOR ALIGNMENT
1.
Place the Newton with the pan box down on a stable work surface or table. Do not attach any
camera.
2.
Make sure both Newton and Dominion are turned on and connected
3.
Activate “START ALIGN” in the Dominion
3.3.3
REALIGN IMU - EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE
If the Horizon of the Newton is off the IMU can be realigned. Note that the Newton should be kept
still when doing this.
3.3.4
ZERO ROLL - EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE
Zero roll allows for manual correction of the horizon.
1.
Go to roll velocity mode
2.
Adjust the roll angle with the joystick until the horizon is correct, then press
ZERO ROLL
3.
Now turn 90 degrees in pan. Repeat step 2. and the horizon is corrected
