A new algorithm for increased reliability when motor misses steps: PID gain is decreased, POWER is increased to restore synchronization
New menu commands to turn motors ON/OFF.
Follow for the PITCH+ROLL and YAW axis can be activated independently
New realtime visual bar to display the actual POWER level.
2.40b6
Firmware: SimpleBGC_2_40b6.enc.hex (86Kb 4.02.2014)
GUI (Windows, OS X, Linux): SimpleBGC_GUI_2_40.zip (5Mb 4.02.2014)
User manual: SimpleBGC_manual_2_4_eng.pdf (428Kb 2.02.2014)
- Bug fixed: some parameters are always kept their default values regardless of GUI setting
- A new algorithm for increased reliability when motor misses steps: PID gain is decreased, POWER is increased to restore synchronization
- Follow mode was completely rewritten:
- speed can be adjusted in wide range by the “SPEED” setting
- acceleration limiter is applied
- LPF smoothing is applied (configured in the “RC setting” tab)
- Follow for the axes PITCH+ROLL and YAW can be activated independently
- Follow for ROLL axis may be permanently enabled or disabled regardless of camera PITCHing: to disable completely, set “ROLL start”=90, “ROLL mix”=0, to enable set “ROLL start=0”, “ROLL mix=0”. (Note, that proper Follow offset calibration for ROLL is required now)
- Up to 5x more precision with the new PID (increase I-term until oscillation starts and than reduce a little back to get the maximum from it)
- New menu commands to turn motors ON/OFF.
- (GUI): new setting for additional POWER in case of big error (caused by missed steps).
- (GUI): new visual bar to display the actual POWER level.
- (GUI): new setting to enable estimation of the frame angle from motor’s poles in the Lock mode, like in the Follow mode before. Helps to increase the range of frame angles where gimbal’s operation is stable.

- Alexmos 3 Axis board – not stacked
- Headers soldered
- Copper High Dissipation heatsinks mounted
- Custom 5 wire interconnect
- 12AWG or 14AWG power leads soldered and terminated with XT60 connector (Total 5 x Pairs Inlcuded)
- Bluetooth Module Installed
- Board flashed with the latest firmware, default settings loaded and tested for proper operation. NOT TUNED FOR ANY CAMERA
- Various ferrite rings will be included
- Box will mount using standard 2 axis board mounting pattern
- Built-in Menu Button
- Staus/Power LED
- Power Switch
- Alexmos Buzzer Included
Note: The Mounting pattern is 45mm (Standard Alexmos Board Hole Patttern). The 2 boards will need to be unscrewed from the box in order to mount the box. Enough slack provided to remove to the boards. Tuning to be done using Bluetooth module. The 2 axis board will have to be removed in order to access the USB port. If direct access to USB port is needed a whole will have to be drilled.
