  • New GUI tab “Adjustable variables”  to change system parameters remotely in real-time:
    •   10 slots for trigger-type controls
    •   15 slots for analog-type controls
  • New sound model: if “Beep with motors” option is enabled, gimbal plays various sounds instead of simple beeps.
  • New Serial API commands to communicate with external I2C devices
  • New Serial API commands to store up to 128 bytes of user data in the EEPROM (may be usefull for third-party GUI or external application developers)
  • New RC signal source “API_VIRT_CH1..32” controlled via Serial API to simplify gimbal control (see examples in the specification)
  • PID Auto Tuning should give more precise results because of decreased error threshold
  • Better error handling on writing parameters to the board via slow connection.
  • (GUI) New menu option to save all profiles into single file. This file can be loaded back by standard “Load from file..” command
  • (GUI) New menu option to write all profiles to the board.
  • Updated examples for Arduino: SBGC_Serial_API_Examples.zip (14Kb 19.10.2014)

Alexmos 32bit Dual IMU

Alexmos Frame IMU

 

This is the first version of firmware, that is fully compatible with the 2.40 version for 8-bit boards, and have additional features:

  • Allows to connect second IMU to know the frame angle. Advantage is more precise stabiliation and wider range of working angles and more reliable work in Follow Mode. Due to this you don’t need to use connection of external flight controller.
  • Number of profiles extended to 5
  • Additional RC protocols are supported: Futaba s-bus, Spektrum Satellite
