BaseCam(AlexMos)SimpleBGC 3rd axis 32bit controller kit
BaseCam(AlexMos)SimpleBGC 3rd axis 32bit controller kit
Basic functions of the controller:
-32-bit MCU — ARM Cortex M4. Effectively calculates the complex tasks for 3-axis stabilization.
-Allows camera control with the RC or analog joystick.
-Use several switchable profiles for different modes of operation
-Supports variety of RC protocols: PWM, Sum-PPM, spektrum and s-bus.
- Battery voltage monitoring, compensating voltage drop in the PID-regulator.
- Low battery alarm (output to 5V active buzzer).
- Increased number of inputs for controlling signals + 3 additional reserved input/output AUX1-AUX3.
- Can supply up to 1A current for external devices on the 5V power line.
- Dedicated UART-socket to connect optional Bluetooth module
- Reverse-polarity protection, overheat and overcurrent protection
- USB interface for the PC connection, to configure, control and upgrade
firmware. -Graphical user interface to manage the settings. Windows / OS X / Linux versions.
- Control through the Serial-protocol using dedicated API.
- Improved attitude estimation algorythms
-Optional second IMU, that will increase the short-term precision of the stabilization 10x-30x times and will make stable work in any frame position.
Below information in details about the controller set(includes):
1, 32bit Alexmos Brushless Gimbal controller X1set (the official authorized to upgrade);
2, Camera IMU X1pc (Wire Length: 500mm);
3, Frame IMU X1pc (Wire Length:200mm);
4, Aluminum controller box X1pc;
5, Carbon fiber controller fixed mount/braket X1pc;
6, General power switching system X1set;
7,Micro data cable X1pc;(If you have it,you could adjust the controller by Android system data cables.)
8, Joystick X1set(including 10000mm data cable);
9,we have made XT60 female head plug as external battery plug, and you could connect XT60 male head of battery to charge for the controller board directly .(there are professional 11.1v 5c battery for your choice ).
10,Joystick fixed mount for 25mm tube X1 set;
The controller set with joystick is strongly recommended to all customers who own the brushless gimbal.
It will be easier, convinent to install, use it directly and all the cables have been connected well.
Meantime, all the data cables also have been set with the protection of insulation nylon net.
Owing the controller board set with joystick , the whole routing of the cables is more tidy, conceal and professional.

New hardware
  • Support of ICM20608 gyroscope+accelerometer sensor.
  • New option "I2C high-speed". Use it carefully: high-speed mode may cause I2C errors.
  • Support for saving and restoring of calibration data to the IMU's EEPROM (if present).
  • Support of analog encoder (rotary position sensor) on YAW axis in the regular firmware.
  • New option "Advanced" → "Order of hardware axes" that supports several configurations besides the standard "Camera - PITCH - ROLL - YAW" configuration.
  • Support of magnetometer sensor (compass) to prevent drift of gyroscope. Can be combined with the frame IMU or the main IMU.

Control algorithms:

  • New setting: "RC" -> "Order of Euler angles" that allows extending the possible trajectories of a camera and the range of working angles.
  • Improved the precision of RC control in the "Follow" mode
  • New option "Follow" - "Apply an offset correction when an axis is not following."
  • New option "Follow" - "Follow rate inside dead-band" to apply very soft control to keep camera always in the center of the dead-band.

Sensors calibration:

  • Regular calibration of Accelerometer and gyroscope does not discard the results of temperature calibration but improves it.
  • ACC calibration at "normal" Z-top position does not discard the results of 6-point calibration.
  • Magnetometer (compass) calibration was significantly improved:
    • you do not need a GUI connection (allows to calibrate in the field by menu button);
    • an ellipsoid approximation is used;
  • New option to skip gyro calibration if gimbal is not fixed well during startup: it allows to start with fresh calibration for best quality, or to start immediately with the previous calibration.

IMU improvements:

  • Advanced algorithms for correction of mutual drift in both IMUs.
  • "2nd IMU above YAW" position is more reliable now.
  • New option "ACC low-pass filter" that helps to improve the stability of the IMU angles. Under dynamic conditions like motion with short lateral accelerations.

Other functionality:

  • New adjustable variables GYRO_HEADING_CORRECTION and FRAME_HEADING_ANGLE that helps to manually correct YAW axis drift.
  • New option "Advanced" - "Set to the normal position on profile switch".
  • Better handling of high-speed control from scripts.
  • Improved the range of working angles in 1- and 2-axes systems, making use of 2nd IMU or encoders; all possible 2-axes configurations are supported now.
  • New menu command: "Untwist cables".
  • New checkbox "Advanced" - "Upside-down PITCH auto-rotation" to turn camera when turning frame upside-down.
  • New option "Follow" - "Use frame IMU, if possible" to use 2nd IMU for the "Follow Mode" control, to make it more reliable.
  • New menu command: "Center YAW axis" to move a camera to the neutral position by YAW.
  • New menu command: "Level Roll, Pitch to the horizon".
  • New option "Service" - "Blink profile number" - onboard LED will show currently selected profile.
  • Proper handling of "gimbal lock" condition - when YAW and PITCH motor axes are parallel.
  • (GUI) New "Emergency stop" option (stop motors in case of the big rate of I2C errors).
  • (GUI) Serial-over-UDP connection is supported to configure remote devices via a network (WiFi, Ethernet, Internet).
  • Menu button pressed 12 times in series will reset "Serial speed" setting to default value 115200.
  • OuterP, OuterI gain increased 5x times.

Encoder-enabled firmware:

  • Option to emergency stop if the motor angles reported by the encoder differs a lot from the angle reported by the 2nd IMU.
  • Encoder-to-motor gearing ratio can be adjusted.
  • In the case of geared setup, the uncertainty of the motor or the frame angle detection at startup can be removed with the help of 2nd IMU.
  • Option to enable Briefcase position auto-detection on-the-fly when in "Follow" mode: just hold the camera by hand and turn frame �90 degrees.
  • More reliable soft limits; option to enable/disable them for each motor independently.
  • Back-EMF compensation is applied at full battery voltage amplitude. It allows getting the maximum speed from the motor (that is limited by the Kv parameter of a motor) even with the low "POWER" setting.

Serial API

  • CMD_CONTROL command with the extended format allows specifying different control modes for each axis.
  • CMD_AHRS_HELPER command allows accessing internal IMU attitude in DCM form, to use it in the external system or to replace or correct it by the information acquired from the high-grade external IMU.
