Setup and operating

2.5 Fine-tuning using the SimpleBGC GUI software

Tip

Function!

Create the best possible stabilisation effect by using the

SimpleBGC software 5.Software user surface (GUI). As every camera

has a different weight, the settings for the PID controller and the motor

output can be individually set and optimized. You can only achieve the

best results with regard to stability when using the optimal fine settings.

1. PID control settings for all 3 axes

– describes the reaction strength to disruptions. The higher the set value the stronger the

compensation of disruptive influences. Test your selected thresholds by moving the Gimbal in line with your

planned application, which axis starts vibrating in which position. If you still observe vibrations, you have to

adjust the P value and the D value mutually 5. Software user surface (GUI) 5.10 Fine-tuning by

adjusting the PID settings – ADVANCED (for very light or heavy cameras)

– The I value determines the speed of movement of the respective axis, if you control the device using the

joystick or using the RC commandos and the SimpleBGC software. In the case of low values you get a slow

and uniform movement of the respective axis. Increase the value for more rapid movements. Please note

that rapid movements can be more vulnerable to faults.

– The D value reduces the reaction speed. This value dampens the low-frequency vibrations. A D value

that is too high causes high-frequency vibrations in particular when the IMU sensor is stimulated by external

vibrations.

2. Adjusting the motor output to the camera weight 5. Software user surface (GUI)

You can adjust the necessary supply voltage for the respective motor to the weight of your camera. The

setting range for the voltage values is 0-255, 255 corresponding to the maximum battery voltage. If the values

set are too low, the respective motor does not have enough power to move the corresponding axis in

connection with your camera and to stabile it sufficiently. Set the lowest value, which can guarantee a

sufficient holding torque and solid stabilization without the casing becoming hot.

Caution

Damage to property!

Voltage that is set too high for the motor output causes

a strong heating of the motor. High temperatures above 80°C lead to motor

damage. Handle the settings carefully and considerately!
