Hello,
I'm trying to build a gimbal for a custom build camera module and currently searching for a gimbal controller.
The controller will later be autonomously operated via a PixHawk1 running Ardupilot, not via a remote. The gimbal will have 2 axes and the camera module has the dimensions of a GoPro Hero5 at a weight of around 40 grams.
My research yielded 2 names, Storm32 and Alexmos. The problem with both is that they're not avaliable in my area (germany). I'd have to import them with a delivery time of at least one month and I need the parts for my job asap. Also, the Alexmos controllers are quite costly.
I found some controllers which are just advertised as BGC2.2, -3.0, -3.1 or -3.2 (See e.g. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Brushless-Gimbal-Controller-2-Axis-Accessory/dp/B07MXGSP8Q). Afaik, BGC just stands for Brushless Gimbal Controller, so ...what are these controllers? Are they noname clones of a more common controller type or at least compatible to one? Also, has anybody ever used them with a Ardupilot?
Best regards
Janis
