TAROT III. Configuration 1. Gimbal Controller Descriptions Descriptions: Battery Power Supply:3S-6S Li (11V-26V) * If you choose a battery to power up the gimbal and multi-rotor, please make sure this battery meets requirements of both components. Receiver 1、 Common Receiver: connect it to the CH1/SBUS and CH2 Channel in the gimbal main controller. Also, set Receiver Type and corresponding channel in the assistant software.
TAROT 2. Gimbal Working Mode You should select a three-positioned or two-positioned switch in R/C for working mode. Please connect the corresponding port of the receiver to CH1/SBUS or CH2 of the gimbal controller. Set RC MAPPING in the assistant software. For different positions, use endpoint fine tune function to set. Please refer to the MODE Channel section in assistant software for detailed information. Attentions: When the MODE port is unconnected, the gimbal can only work in the DEFAULT mode.
TAROT IV. Flight Test Steps: 1. Please ensure all the wirings are correct and the power supply is in great condition. 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Powering up the gimbal and keep it still. After self-check and sensor initialization process, gimbal angle corresponds to INIT ANGLE in the assistant software. 4. Switch from different working modes to check the rotation direction in ROLL and PITCH axis. TIPs: Before flight test, please ensure: 1.

TAROT 3. Basic Setup Methods to Connect the Receiver: 1. Receiver Unconnected: set gimbal mode in 1. Common Receiver: connect it to the CH1/SBUS Default Mode of assistant software. and CH2 Channel in the gimbal main controller. 2. Receiver Connected: set gimbal mode in 2. SBUS-2: connect it to CH1/SBUS channel in the MODE channel of the receiver. gimbal main controller. MAKE SURE CH2 IS FPV Mode: The angles of Roll and Pitch axis UNCONNECTED. change according to the attitude of the multirotor.
TAROT 4. Channels （1）RC Mapping Tilt Channel Push the stick, and observe the rotation direction of the gimbal and the moving direction of the cursor. Mode Channel This channel controls gimbal working mode. Choose a three-positioned or two-positioned switch to control the working mode of the gimbal. Map it into Mode Channel. Toggle the switch to the position, the cursor should be in the corresponding area. FPV Mode: the direction of the gimbal and directions (roll and tilt) of the multi-rotor are same.
TAROT 5. Tools Please calibrate sensors when the output of gyro is far from zero while the gimbal is stationary. Methods to calibrate It is necessary to keep the gimbal in the stationary state. Click "Calibrate Sensors". When "Calibration is successful" shows on status bar, the calibration procedures finishes. 6. Firmware Update Update Procedures: @2016 TAROT All Rights Reserved.
