New flag «Hardware» — «Don't power ON motor at system start». New parameters and functions New group of parameters «Advanced» — «Automated motion tasks» to set the speed and acceleration for automatically executed movements like «Look down», «Home position», etc.
Implemented a calibration of motor non-linearities to improve stabilization quality by compensating the cogging effect supported by the «Extended» and «Pro» boards only New type of Adjustable Variables: 'relative'.
It acts as a multiplier for applying to a user-editable parameter. New type of Adjustable Variables: look-up table. Allows a better control when setting dependency between signal and variable. New parameter «Follow mode» — «Follow range» allows setting the angle that defines the active range from zero to full speed in the follow mode.
New option «Follow» — «Disable follow mode by holding menu button»: use it to disable follow mode temporarily by pressing and holding menu button without the need of switching profiles. New menu commands «Setup and start time-lapse motion», «Repeat time-lapse». Use it to program time-lapse motion sequence in few seconds without the need of GUI connection.
Excellent tutorial from Tomasz Walczak. New backup manager that allows to save a snapshot containing all settings and calibrations to the cloud; One password-protected 'factory' and up to 3 'user' backups are supported. New option to save settings into.
Can be used to selectively update parameters when copying the configuration from one system to others. Bugfixes Serial port communication might impact stabilization in case of poor wireless connection. Serial API was extended by many new commands Option to disable of using gyro signal from the frame IMU for stabilization, but keep it for a frame angle detection; option to pass it through low-pass filter with adjustable cut-off frequency.
Both options are useful in the case of high level of vibrations on the frame. Add a support of MavLink protocol for Ardupilot FC connection beta state , that allows to increase a precision of stabilization and control over gimbal in automated missions. In the encoder-enabled version, ports are swapped by default.
Bugfixes Fixed problems with USB connection in "Tiny" boards RC control is slightly improved: smoother "Angle" mode, no overshoot after fast breaks Script parser: properly handles speed below 0. User-written scripts see Language Reference and user manual IMU temperature calibration and compensation.
New tool "Analyze" to make an analysis of system response. Use it carefully: high-speed mode may cause I2C errors. Bugfixes: Problem with SSL connection during firmware upgrade is solved Frame upside-down command loads default profile after reset Frame upside-down detection doesn't work if "skip gyro calibration" is disabled.
New option "I2C high-speed". Support of analog encoder rotary position sensor on YAW axis in the regular firmware. Support of magnetometer sensor compass to prevent drift of gyroscope. Control algorithms: New setting: "RC" "Order of Euler angles" that allows extending the possible trajectories of a camera and the range of working angles.
Improved the precision of RC control in the "Follow" mode New option "Follow" "Apply an offset correction when an axis is not following. Sensors calibration: Regular calibration of Accelerometer and gyroscope does not discard the results of temperature calibration but improves it. ACC calibration at "normal" Z-top position does not discard the results of 6-point calibration.
Magnetometer compass calibration was significantly improved: you do not need a GUI connection allows to calibrate in the field by menu button ; an ellipsoid approximation is used; New option to skip gyro calibration if gimbal is not fixed well during startup: it allows to start with fresh calibration for best quality, or to start immediately with the previous calibration. Under dynamic conditions like motion with short lateral accelerations.
New option "Advanced" "Set to the normal position on profile switch". Better handling of high-speed control from scripts. Improved the range of working angles in 1- and 2-axes systems, making use of 2nd IMU or encoders; all possible 2-axes configurations are supported now. New menu command: "Untwist cables". New menu command: "Level Roll, Pitch to the horizon".
Menu button pressed 12 times in series will reset "Serial speed" setting to default value OuterP, OuterI gain increased 5x times. Encoder-enabled firmware: Option to emergency stop if the motor angles reported by the encoder differs a lot from the angle reported by the 2nd IMU. Encoder-to-motor gearing ratio can be adjusted. In the case of geared setup, the uncertainty of the motor or the frame angle detection at startup can be removed with the help of 2nd IMU. Back-EMF compensation is applied at full battery voltage amplitude.
It allows getting the maximum speed from the motor that is limited by the Kv parameter of a motor even with the low "POWER" setting. New GUI tab "Adjustable variables" to change system parameters remotely in real-time: 10 slots for trigger-type controls 15 slots for analog-type controls New sound model: if "Beep with motors" option is enabled, gimbal plays various sounds instead of simple beeps.
GUI New menu option to save all profiles into single file. This file can be loaded back by standard "Load from file…" command GUI New menu option to write all profiles to the board.
Option can be enabled in the RC tab. Bug fixed: "Estimate angle from motors" doesnt work in 2. Recovery firmware works now with USB connection on v. ANGLE" has no effect.
Add a 4-second delay after the "Upside-down mode" command is switched, to let to rotate gimbal to new position. If disabled, system always starts with profile set as default from the GUI. I then clicked on Manaual Upgrade tab. I basically got a message that the firmare was written successfully.
Shortly thereafter I realized I really screwed up. So now when I connect the USB cable from the board to my PC, there is no beeping, and the green light on the board comes on and stays solid. The 2. It just sits there and says "Connecting.. Can this be fixed? I can follow instructions well if someone can let me know how to do it. I will be very thankful for the assistance. I did try using Xloader to upload the 2. I reran the AvrdudeR and clicked on cancel and received a message that the board was updated??
After reopening the GUI it connects to the board just fine and all is good. So if someone else pulls a boneheaded newbie trick like me I hope this helps them. A one paragraph explanation in the box from GoodluckSell would have prevented this newbie error but that won't ever happen. Add a Comment.
