Re: Gimbal Motor

Most definitely. But I will try my hardest for a refund. I think the battery had been on the shelf too long.

Would have brought it to the meeting but we had to take the cat to the vet and I'm allergic to cat fur so I ended up having an allergy attack and could not come.

Gimbal Motor

Hi,
All the motors on my gimbal have three unorganised wires that are all coloured black. I need to find out which one is which before I use it with my controller and I was wondering if there was a way to do this. The motors also are unbranded.

Thanks
Dylan

Hey, So recently I've been getting back into my flying sims and as most people notice there's usually just not enough buttons n the joysticks to control every function. So to solve this issue I bought a whole bunch of buttons and I intend to install them in a hobby box with a teensy 2.0 controller a...

Re: Time lapse setup

Hi couldn't be at this weeks meeting but I should be at next months one. Unfortunately I managed to get bit by a mosquito carrying rossriver so I haven't been very mobile most of the beginning of this year. So far only finger joints have been affected and I've been quite tired but hopefully I should...

Re: Time lapse setup

Hi,

As you mentioned with the push button I have been working on that and I will give those links a go and add in the delay because I've seen in another code sample something similar and they had quite a few delays.
