* For Pixy SM and MR, Gremsy has made a profile gimbal corresponding file for each lens (.xml file)

## TROUBLESHOOTING

#### 1. **gTune Displays “DISCONNECTED”**

**Issue:**\
gTune software shows “DISCONNECTED” even after connecting the gimbal via USB.

**Solution:**

* Check **Device Manager** to confirm if **Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (e.g., COM3)** is recognized.
* Make sure the gimbal's mode switch is turned to **“G” (gimbal)** position.
* Ignore the gimbal's operational status (e.g., LEDs or movement).
* Then, proceed with the **normal firmware upgrade** process in gTune.

***

#### 2. **Strong Vibration During Operation**

**Issue:**\
Gimbal exhibits strong vibration after startup or during movement.

**Solution:**

* Import the correct **gimbal profile for the corresponding lens** using gTune.
* If vibration persists:
  * Gradually reduce the **Stiffness** values by **5 units at a time** until vibration decreases or stops.
