I want to mount the Gimbal and Camera to a camera dolly, It has power and works to stabilize. Using Pins for power. Pins labeled TX and PWN are not connected (should they be?) and I want to use an ST16 to control the pan/tilt of the gimbal. I have tried ALOT of ways, but pan and tilt ONLY work on the drone powered up. Is there a software hack or hardware work around? I Plan to drive the rig indoors where a drone can't fly and yet get fly like shots. I have a pseudo-electronic background and in testing the TX pin is chatty when monitored on the oscilloscope. I'm looking for any advice to make it work. During setup and testing, it worked once. We used the ST16 and pan/tilted the gimbal and the camera was powered across the room on am 11.1 volt source. It never worked again after that and I have tried every setting of the ST16 switches. Even tried to map the pan and tilt to the right stick (no drone remember). In the steadycam grip there is a board to set the pwm up or down a volt to tilt it, or set to .5 volts for tracking (based on the mode switch).
Could I just hook a RC receiver to the pwm and get pan/tilt or to tx/pwm (with power to the receiver of course)?
Is there a software hack to make the gimbal'd cam think it's still on a drone or at least allowed to pan/tilt?
Video works great, just not pan/tilt. Ideas? Not worried about warranties here, but I have a live shoot to do in 8 days and I need to control the pan/tilt remotely.
