Hardware Setup

Connect the Pixy LR UART (CTRL port) to the Telem2 on the PX4 system

Setting on the remote control

Pixy LR is compatible with the Remote Control (RC) that supports the QGroundControl app (QGC). In this manual, all settings are made on Herelink Remote Control; the other controller does the same.

SBUS channel settings

Pixy LR needs to set up 2 channels to control the gimbal: one channel is for controlling rotation, and the other is for choosing the controlling axis.

Set up channels controlling the gimbal

Gimbal rotation control channel: CH6 (or any channels); use the wheel button on the Herelink remote:

Gimbal axis selection channel: CH8 (or any channels); use the camera button on the Herelink remote.
