5.6 Calibrating the Gyrometer

Tip

Function!

Implicitly make a backup copy of your profiles before you make

changes or upgrade the firmware. Additionally, make a backup of the

complete Gimbal configuration by using the backup manager.

Tip

Watch our video on YouTube how to calibrate the gyro- and

accelerometer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxpdtzvjzoQ

A calibration of the Gyrometer is necessary for the exact determination of the orientation of the camera in the

Pilotfly-Gimbal. Though the sensors are calibrated before delivery, however, sometimes you must perform a

calibration of the Gyrometer. The Gyrometer measures the rotations of your camera in the Gimbal. With the

software, a calibration is possible as shown below.

1. Press the button „Calibrate IMU sensors“

within the register tab „Hardware“.

2. Take care, that the Gimbal stands stable and

without any vibrations. The orientation of the

camera isn’t important.

3. The display of the Gyroscope should be

ideally within the green range.

4. Press the button „RESET“ an then the button

„CALIBRATE“ within the function block

„Gyroscope“ as shown in figure 21.

5. During the calibrating process your can hear

an acoustic signal and you see a beam

display to 100% in the window.

6. The calibrating process needs a few seconds.

The beam display disappears after reaching

the 100 % and the acoustic signal is finished

if the Gyrometer is final calibrated.
