Using the Software PC/MAC - BASIC
5.8 Basic settings for beginners – View level “BASIC”
Caution
Property damage!
The software SimpleBGC offers many versatile possibilities.
These extended functions found at view level “EXPERT” and “DEVELOPER”
are not within the context of this introduction manual. For the use of this extended
functionality we refer you to the software user manual SimpleBGC 32bit 3-Axis.
The performing of functions which aren't described to your Pilotfly product within
the context of this instruction manual happens on your own responsibility. We
don't assume any liability for damages resulting from it!
The view level "BASIC" is suitable for beginners. Here you have access to the basic features of your Pilotfly
Gimbal to reach an optimized stabilisation of your camera:
5.8.1 RC-Settings (Remote control, Joystick settings)
The control of your Gimbal via remote control or joystick is reached by means of RC (Remote Control)
signals:
Angle Mode – The RC stick will control the camera angle directly. The full RC range will cause a
camera to go from min to max angles, as specified at Min. Angle and Max. Angle.
Speed Mode – As long as you operate the joystick the respective axis will move with the set speed (speed 0 …
255). (Default setting for Pilotfly Gimbals: activated)
INVERSE – Set this checkbox to reverse direction of rotation relative to stick movement.
LPF – Reaction speed (Low Pass Filtering 0…16) for joystick commands. The higher the value is, the smoother the
reaction is to stick commands. But the reaction speed will be increased.
Initial Angle – With selected speed mode the set angle is the angle directly after switching on or after performing a
move to zero position. (Home-Move 5 x pressing the Mode-button Product overview – Mode-button).
Do not update initial angle – Set this option to not update the initial angles in the EEPROM
after executing "Set tilt angles by hands" menu command or other commands. If not set, system will start with the
new initial angles next time. (Default setting for Pilotfly Gimbals: activated)
Limit Accelerations – The lesser the value is the smoother the camera rotation under control is. „0“ deactivates
the limitation completely.
ROLL, PITCH, YAW RC Sub-Trim – Correction for transmitter inaccuracy central point trimming. Central point here
is PWM 1500 (blue beam display within the RC register tab). It's better to trim it in the transmitter. But in case of it is
not possible (when using joystick, for example), you can use AUTO function in the GUI. Just place stick in neutral
position, and press AUTO button. Actual data becomes new center point. Press WRITE button to apply settings.
