9 years ago Hi,
I have the FG-PH2 Gimbal.
With that said I have found 049-r69 to be the best workable version yet. Here
are a couple guidelines that you may find helpful in tuning your gimbal. Also,
I attached my settings for my Gimbal. This may or may not help because I
believe different motors and gimbals are all a little different therefore
needing different tuning values.
Only do this if you have BETA Version 049 r69 incl updated GUI. The other GUI's
and Firmware act differently from each other. Tuning wont work the same way
because the values and percentages have changed in between the firmwares and
GUI's:
Power on your Gimbal and then connect the USB to it. Then start the GUI.
1. Zero out your max PWM(%) and PID in both Pitch and Roll.
2. Start by giving the max PWM (%) a value on your Roll. I started with 70 and
found it to be to much because when I started tuning PID it wouldn't stop
vibrating. Also feel the motors for heat. If they are getting hot or even warm
its likely your PWM is too high.
3. Once PWM has a value begin tuning the PID. Start with "P". I started with
5.0 on "P"
4. Now go to "D" and use the slider bar to give its number value. Slide it
slowly until your gimbal starts vibrating. Slowly slide the bar in the opposite
direction until you don't have any vibrations.
5. Press Gyro-Cal button. I find doing this every so often helps give you a
more precise tune. Also you may find your gimbal going crazy sometimes and I
find the Gyro Calibration can help mellow it out.
6. Go back to "P" and do the same thing you just did to "D" but start from the
value you gave it at the beginning. In which case I gave it 5.0
7. Go back and forth tuning from "P" and "D". Make sure to also test the tune
by moving your gimbal on its roll axis. Once you give "P","D" the highest
values with out the motors vibrating then go to "I".
8. I find that if you add "P" and "D" values together it will equal to around
what your "I" value should be. For example My "D" value was 21.0 and my "P"
value was 19.6. That equals around 40.0 so I put it at that. I found no
vibrations so I left it at that. (I used 40.0 for my "I" pitch value as well)
9. Your Roll Tuning should be complete! Save these settings to your gimbal.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Follow these 2 steps. #1 Click on the options tab and
then click "Save to Board". #2 Click on options tab and then click "Save to
Flash".
10. Go to Pitch settings. Start the same way as with Roll. Give the max PWM(%)a
Value. I found that your Pitch PWM value will most likely be less then your
Roll PWM value. (I believe its because your Pitch and Roll have a different
type of balance, weight, and stress ratio)
11. Once you give your PWM a value go to tuning your Pitch PID's. Do the same
steps as you did for your Roll tuning.(steps 3-9)
That should be it for your basic tuning! Remember to constantly press the
Gyro-Cal button throughout your tuning.
I hope this helps! If anyone wants to chime in on my instructions feel free.
Again this process helped me tune my gimbal. I believe its possible that it can
be done for different gimbas as well.
Good luck
