Configuring gimbal control for non-3DR RC systems
To calibrate a non-3DR transmitter to control the Tarot gimbal, you
will need to enable channel six for a knob on your transmitter during
RC calibration in the mission planner application. Once channel six is
enabled, the preconfigured Pixhawk settings will automatically
assign gimbal control to the selected control knob on the transmitter.
If you are using a PPM encoder to connect to Pixhawk, you will need
to connect channel six from your RC receiver to the encoder before
calibration.
Configuring the gimbal
Tarot gimbals from 3DR arrive preconfigured and ready to
fly. For information on changing the gimbal configuration
