# SETUP WITH SKYNODE

## 1. Hardware Setup. <a href="#bkmrk-1.-hardware-setup" id="bkmrk-1.-hardware-setup"></a>

## 2. Setting on the remote control.

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

### **SBUS channel settings.**

Zio needs to set up two 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:&#x20;

&#x20;Gimbal axis selection channel: CH8 (or any channels), use the camera button on the Herelink remote:&#x20;

## 3. Setting parameter. <a href="#bkmrk-3.-setting-parameter" id="bkmrk-3.-setting-parameter"></a>

Zio connects to FC at the baud rate of 115200. In case of connecting Zio to FC at any telemetry, note the telemetry setting at the corresponding baud rate. Example for telemetry 2:

```
MAV_1_CONFIG: “TELEM 2”
MAV_2_CONFIG: "EXT2" (401)
MAV_2_MODE: "Gimbal" (10)
SER_TEL2_BAUD: “115200 8N1"
SER_EXT2_BAUD: “115200 8N1"
MAV_2_FORWARD: "enable" (1)
MAV_S_FORWARD: "enable" (1)
```

**Set mount params**

```
MNT_MODE_IN: “RC”
MNT_MODE_OUT: “MAVlink gimbal protocol v2”
MNT_RC_IN_MODE: “1”
MNT_MAN_PITCH: “AUX3”
MNT_MAN_ROLL: “AUX2”
MNT_MAN_YAW: “AUX1”
MNT_RATE_PITCH: "90"
MNT_RATE_YAW: "90"
```

**Set RC map channels**

```
RC_MAP_AUX1: “Channel 6”
RC_MAP_AUX2: “Channel 7”
RC_MAP_AUX3: “Channel 8”
```

# 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/payloads/zio/autopilot-setup/setup-with-skynode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
