Hello


Please help me- i need Picloc X2 and i can`t contact Rotorpics. No Answer

Thank`s

Same for me. I have made an order for Picloc from Rotorpics but have not heard from them/him since. I have sent a few emails during past weeks but no answer. I wonder what's up with that? I hope George is just busy with the Picloc manufacturing process! My purpously for the Picloc built camera rig is almos finished and now I'm just standing by waiting for my unit.

They manfacture a FY20A 3 axis Gyro ... with tuning on each axis. I have read about people using it and good things and it is affordable at around 110USD Delivered and in stock in several US hobby Companies

Best of Luck !!!!!

I've tried the FY21AP for 3 axis camera stabilization. No go. It can't account for gimbal lock.

Provided you never want to pan/titl/roll the camera more than about 20 degrees it sorta works. Otherwise forget it.

Very true, but not only.

Sorry for not replying to emails.
Aiming to have zero unread in my inbox is one of my priorities.
99% I usually reply in less than 6-9 hours.
If I am not within the above timeframe, it means that I have not seen your email yet.

Now that I'm back home, I'll try to get back to the priority mentioned above.

Here is an example of using the FY20A

Hi, I was looking for FY20A, but one thing is still bothering me...
Well, may I ask you to check if FY20A system has a drift in the next conditions:

1) Checking only roll for simplification;
2) When rolling try to roll from horizontal position to one side only and back many time. Do not roll from one side to another, but just from horizontal position to one side and back multiple time with occasional delay on one side before going to the horizontal position.
3) Check if eventually camera mount is getting drift toward the side you roll it multiple times.

This is common situation with heli when it is fighting strong wind and you always correct heli toward one side against the wind.

Thank you,
AK.

If you don't mind a little soldering and code flashing (all explained in depth) then you should take a look at the MultiWii board they are using for multicopter stabilisation.

Based on an Arduino Pro mini (around £15), it needs the gyro board from a Nintendo Wii Motionplus and the accellerometer board from a nunchuck. These can be bought quite cheaply.

The Multiwii board can be programmed (amongst other things) to drive servos for tilt/roll camera stabilisation.
