Setup with the Ardupilot system

Evo Control Cable

I. Configure parameters for Pixhawk:

Change the baud rate of the TELEMETRY port used for the gimbal to 921600.

For example: Similar to Section I Cable VioZio Control Cable.

Change the parameters in the MNT1 tag as follows :

• MNT1_DEFLT_MODE = 3 (RC Targeting)

• MNT1_RC_RATE = 90 (0 is the angle mode control, other 0 is the speed mode and 90 is the maximum speed limit)

• MNT1_TYPE = 6 (Gremsy gimbal definition in the Ardupilot system)

Adjusting mounting parameters on Pixhawk.

II. Configure parameters for the module Entire Airpixel:

The configuration of Uni port-B and Uni port-C of the Entire module is similar to Section 2 of VioZio Cable but differs in the following points:

• Change the function for Uni port-C to Disable.

• Change the function for Uni port-B to MAVlink with a baud rate of 230400.

• Turn off the Force SBUS mode function in Entire.

• Go to Menu -> Miscellaneous -> Gimbal control options -> Gremsy options -> Force SBUS mode.

Turn off Force SBUS mode function on Entire.

After changing, check the function to function normally as follows:

Entire has received full functionality.

IV. Gimbal Configuration

STEP 1: Connect the gimbal to Gtune software by USB cable

STEP 2: Open Gtune then navigate to SETTINGS -> PROFILE -> IMPORT -> CHOOSE THE PROFILE EVO Cable -> LOAD

• Download the cable configuration profile here: https://github.com/Gremsy/PixyLR-Firmware/releas

V. Control the Gimbal and Camera.

1. Control the Gimbal.

This cable cannot switch between Herelink and Joystic mode directly on the MAVCAM application screen, users need to determine the gimbal control mode and select it in advance using gTune.

Control gimbal with Mode Herelink:

Step 1: Turn on SBUS out on Pixhawk (More information: VioZio Control Cable)

Step 2: Select Herelink mode on gTune.

Step 3: Reboot system and control gimbal with "Scroll Wheel" and "CAM short press" buttons.

Control gimbal with Mode MAVlink:

Step 1: Select MAVlink mode on gTune.

Step 2: There are two cases:

• If the customer's remote has enough "Scroll Wheel" or stick for three axis of gimbal, the setup controls the gimbal using the following link.
• If there are not enough nodes for the axis, the client can control the PAN/TILT gimbal using the MAVCAM app's Joystick and the following functional buttons:

Quick control of Tilt up/down axis.

Re-center Gimbal Pan/tilt.

Enable/Disable control bằng Joystick.

2. Control the camera.

VI. Setup mapping mission

This gimbal cable is connected directly to Pixhawk so users can create maps as usual using the QGroundControl and Mission Planner applications.
