    Storm32 Gimbal problem

    I dont think so, the tutorial i followed on youtube said to power the board via usb which i did, and the guy on youtube had the same status for battery and voltage

    Storm32 Gimbal problem

    Hi guys, Iv been messing around with this 3 axis gimbal i got and i cant seem to get it working. Using V096 and the v1.31 board, i can connect to the GUI and everything goes green.

    Will this burn out my gimbal motor?

    This model of gopro doesnt come out of the housing. I can open the latch to remove the sd card and charge the camera but it's stuck in the housing. It's the gopro hero entry level camera that they no longer sell.

    Will this burn out my gimbal motor?

    Here is a photo of the gimbal without the 3D printed extension on it. As you can see the gopro fits snug, however the gopro hero (the one I have) doesn't come out of the shell like the one in the picture so it is much chunkier. All the gimbal can do it yaw in this case. Both roll and pitch are...

    The gimbal is already as low as it can go without the bottom of it touching the ground when the quad is not airborne

    Will this burn out my gimbal motor?

    I got an app to reduce them, thanks! As you can see the white 3D printed part moves the camera out and down so it has space to move. In the other photo I counteracted 99% of the tilt in the pitch axis with a spare 3D printed arm and some weight at the end of it. This is not he final set up...

    Will this burn out my gimbal motor?

    I haven't actually tried it yet, just said I'd ask first as the last thing I want is to ruin my gimbal that I haven't even used yet. Should I just go for it and keeping checking motor warmth?

    Will this burn out my gimbal motor?

    The gimbal is the storm32 3 axis from ebay. I haven't used it yet, only uploaded the bootloader. I'm using a gopro hero which doesn't fit into the gimbal so I modified it so it would fit. I 3D printed a piece to drop the platform which the camera rests on down about an inch and out about an inch...

    How to choose a battery for my first quadcopter?

    Both 3s and 4s will work, 4s will provide higher speed and acceleration so it would be better to get a 3s if you're not very experienced with flying, it will also reduce the risk of of over heating some components. 90g seems extremely light.. My quadcopter is 1.6kg and 3s is plenty of power for...

    Crashed quadcopter cause??

    So Iv just tried to manually calibrate my esc. My other esc's beep three times and then once every four seconds waiting for me to move my throttle to zero, however my second (suspected faulty) esc beeps twice and does not beep every few seconds. I think ill just order a new esc.
