Alexmos gimbal, Tilt the camera with knob on futaba s-bus

[Cameraj73]

Is it possible to control the pitch of a gimbal going through an Alexmos by connecting a 3-pin servo extension cable from FC_Pitch to the X1 port on the Naza? And still keep home lock corse lock, I want to be able to tilt the camera down birds eye view from my LD knob on my futaba radio,

I apologize if this has been asked before. I've already spent a few hours searching though trying to find the answer. I'm new to the RC world so I may not have been searching for the right keywords...

Skip the Naza and go directly to your receiver on a spare port.

The naza will try to balance the board and conflict with the brushless controller.

That would be like putting a gyro between the rudder servo and a FBL controller...?

So Alexmox ---> Receiver spare port. (Watch out to make sure you don't send power to the receiver on the middle pin!! )

Crap, I've not used a Futaba receiver yet so can't help you there sadly!

Could you elaborate a bit more? Do you mean you use a "S.Bus-only" receiver? Then there's no other way than decode the signal somehow. One (easy) way would be using the Naza gimbal outputs. If you set the gains to 0 then the output should be quite clean. Haven't tried but you can give it a go. Other solution would be getting a S.Bus decoder and using that to drive the BL board.

Third option is getting a receiver with ordinary PWM ports as well as the S.Bus for Naza. You can connect the BL board to a spare PWM port and still use S.Bus to control Naza. That's what I have done. Just check in your radio (and the Naza radio tab) to find an unused channel. The one you use for tilting camera with Naza works fine since you don't use that functionality in Naza.
