2.3 Cable connection

Before making any connections there are 3 rules you should always
apply:

1.

When wiring Pano360 make sure all the connections are correct – if

the cables are not connected correctly the on-board electronics may

be damaged. Always double check that you have proper connections. 

2.

Make sure the cables are long enough and there is nothing in the

way of the camera (for example retractable legs) so the whole 360°
turn can be made.

3.

Before   connecting   any   signal   cables,   make   sure   the   multirotor   battery   is   disconnected.

Connecting / disconnecting signal cables while the multicopter is powered can damage the

pano360 and/or the radio receiver.

2.3.1 Servo connection

Start by making sure the servo motor (

Fig.

   

 

  1-C

   

)

 cable is properly connected to the servo

output (

Fig.

   

 

  1-H

).

 The white cable should be facing inward and all the pins should be connected.

2.3.2 Digital input connection

There are two modes of operation  

automatic

  and  

manual

. For each mode you will be

required to connect the RC inputs (

Fig. 1-I-J-K

) with your radio receiver using a 3 pin female header

cable. The automatic mode enables making panoramas with a press of one button whereas the

manual mode allows to control the rotation by hand with a joystick.

(white) is facing inward
