# SBUS/PPM SETTINGS
Connect SBUS/PPM receiver to the Hyper Quick release as shown below
{% hint style="info" %}
The receiver must be connected to the correct wires. The SBUS/PPM port has 5V output to power the receiver; please do not use an external power supply to power the receiver at the same time. Doing so may damage
\
the electronics inside the gimbal.
{% endhint %}
## CHANNEL SETTING
**Channel Overview**
The gimbal supports **6 control channels**:
1. **MODE**
2. **TILT**
3. **ROLL**
4. **PAN**
5. **TILT SPEED**
6. **PAN SPEED**
> ⚠️ **Important:** Always assign the **MODE** channel first, as it determines the gimbal's operating state.
**MODE Channel Configuration**
The **MODE** channel controls the gimbal's working state and should be assigned to a **3-position switch**.
#### **Switch Positions & Functions:**
| **Switch Position** | **Mode** | **Motor Status** |
| ------------------- | ----------- | ---------------- |
| High | FOLLOW MODE | Motors ON |
| Middle | LOCK MODE | Motors ON |
| Low | — | Motors OFF |
* **FOLLOW MODE: The** gimbal follows the movement of the aircraft/operator.
* **LOCK MODE**: Gimbal maintains fixed orientation regardless of movement.
* **MOTORS OFF**: Gimbal motors powered down.
**TILT, ROLL, and PAN Channel Configuration**
The TILT and PAN channels should be in speed mode, and the ROLL channel in angle mode.
\
TILT SPEED or PAN SPEED could be assigned to the same channel and should be
\
assigned to the throttle stick, dial, or other non-centering control on the transmitter.
Below is an example of channel assignment to the Futaba T8FG.
| | CHANNEL | CONTROL | NOTE |
| ---------- | ------- | ------- | ----------------- |
| MODE | 5 | SC | 3-Position Switch |
| TILT | 2 | J2 | Speed Mode |
| ROLL | 4 | T4 | Angle Mode |
| PAN | 1 | J1 | Angle Mode |
| TILT SPEED | 3 | J3 | |
| PAN SPEED | 6 | RD | |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.gremsy.com/gimbals/gremsy-t3v3/remote-control/sbus-ppm-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
