Hi,

I have been facing a problem with the gimbal.Please find the video in the following link. The roll arm doesn't rest to zero nor it does reach to any specified angle. What would you suggest regarding this.


Thank You.

Hi, 

I suppose PID problems. Did you change the firmware in the board? 
I did a rapid search for PID in our documentation, but I could not find anything specific to it. I remember we used a Martinez board manual where we found a procedure to adjust the PID. Jim, was that in a manual or on a forum?  
All the documentation about the Martinez board is HERE. You can also find this documentation on the project webpage, HERE.

I propose to collect the lessons learned here in this Manual

Hi ,

No, I did not change any firmware in the board. I'll check the manual and will get back to you.

Thankyou.

I also think that that it is PID problem. Two of the wires wire disconnected and we soldered it. I guess I am having problem since then. What would you suggest? Do I have to replace it with a new one? If so can I buy it from sensorica or if there are any sources please suggest me.

Thank you.
Akhila.
