    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Looks like a #6-32 screw is the correct size. Thanks

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Does anyone know the size of the thumbscrew threads that are used to attach the rotorpixel to the phantom. I had a crash the other day and lost two of them. I was thinking of just buying some standard screws and spacers. I looked on the rotorpixel website and replacement hardware is $15 but...

    Setting Battery Low Level Warning and Critical Level Values

    Re: Setting Battery Low Level Warning and Critical Level Val I'm turning off "Low Battery Auto Go Home". Flying the other day, I knew the battery level was low so I was just hovering nearby. All of a sudden the auto go home function kicked in and the phantom took control. It raised the...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Had the same problem. Look at my (cb1)posts on page 27 and 28 of this discussion. Basically Rotorpixel support was not responding. I finally had to use the basecam software to see if I could fix the problem myself. Found the problem to be an incorrect parameter entered by Rotorpixel at the...

    All the software you need as at the motorpixie website (the Rotorpixel website is totally useless for resources, please avoid looking there): https://sites.google.com/site/motorpixiegimbals/Resources Install the 8 bit basecam software (use the latest version (I used SimpleBGC_GUI_2_40b7.zip)...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    I think I found the problem. Right axis in basic settings should be Y and not X. Thanks DKDarkness for your help. No thanks to Rotorpixel for first delivering a gimbal with an improper setting and then never responding to any of my requests for help.

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Thanks, Here are my Rotorpixel settings. Does anything look incorrect? I connected the controller to the PC and opened the Basecam GUI but did not turn on the Phantom. All of the displays on the right (Compass, Roll, Pitch) are oscillating at a fixed frequency when the motors are turned on...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    Thanks DKDarkness. I am going to try and connect the controller to the basecam GUI software and find out what the settings are. Just found out that the connector on the controller is a mini and not a micro USB. "WTF" Now I have to buy another cable.

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Does anyone have a copy of the rotorpixel software for the AlexMos/Basecam gimbal control board and any idea how to download it to the gimbal. My gimbal is a dud. It shakes continuously and I cannot get in contact with anyone at rotorpixel to get it fixed. If someone has had to reload software...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I've had my gimbal for three weeks now. Got the lemon. My gimbal has a severe case of the shakes. I was optimistic when Keri replied to my first e-mail indicating that he thought the problem was minor and he would call me to help me get it up and running. Unfortunately he never called me back...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    A bit frustrated with Rotorpixel technical support. I e-mailed Keri and got an e-mail response quite quickly that he would give me a call. I e-mailed him back my phone number but have received no response. I sent another e-mail but no response. I wanted to go flying so I have now taken the...

    RotorPixel Gimbal Technical Discussion

    Hi Guys, I posted this on the rotorpixel discussion board but Geert pointed me in the direction of this technical discussion board. I don't see anyone that has experienced the same problem that I am having. Please see posted video. I got my gimbal. Followed the instructions to change the gain...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I got my gimbal. Followed the instructions to change the gain settings. Installed the gimbal per instructions. When I power up the Phantom the gimbal goes crazy. It is oscillating all over the place. I straddled the phantom over two shoe boxes so the camera doesn't contact anything. Still the...

    Mr Bond, Dr. Jacky Banggood is one of our most promising young scientists at Q branch. He has developed something called a lithium polymer battery which also doubles as an improvised explosive device. He's integrated the Phantom Vision with the battery into the Aston Martin but the rotorpixel...
