Hey All
So finally got around to making a gimbal pitch dial thingo...
Basically (Thanks to DBS ) I took off connector that the lever is supposed to go to... I then connected a 5k linear pot.. I read on another forum I should stick some 100R resistors on the connections that go to the left/right connectors on pot, so I did that.. The centre connector just has the wire that goes to the "top" connector on controller board.
Anyways I calibrated the dial using the RC assistant and also the normal Phantom assistant... Also in the Assistant software its set to "basic" controller.
It works fine and is really smooth..
Now the problem is.... when I connect to the wifi its all still working fine and gimbal moves, but as soon as load up the camera mode in the DJI App the dial stops working... The up/down buttons in the app work fine and the camera moves... but the dial stops controlling the gimbal... If I close down the App the dial still does not work.. it only starts working again if I reboot the Phantom.
Oh yeah I am using assistant 3.6 and RC 1.2.
Now I'm pretty sure its all soldered in correctly else it would not work at all, nor would it calibrate... Is it possible the resistors are doing something ? I personally don't know much about this stuff, but I suspect they wouldn't be the cause ??
Anyways.. How do I go about getting the dial to work so I can use it in the DJI App.. which is kind of the point of it :]
Any one have any suggestions ?
Thanks
