Problem with test_gimbal_rotation.py #8

Open k-khosravi opened 1 year ago

k-khosravi commented 1 year ago

Hello! Thank you for sharing this useful repository! but I have a problem with the running test_gimbal_rotation.py. I used the test_gimbal_rotation.py script to rotate the A8 mini gimbal but every time I set the yaw angles in degrees in this script. It always goes to 103 degrees no matter what number I give it as the yaw angle in the input. I also calibrate the camera but this doesn't work!

Hi @k-khosravi ! The last time I worked on this is a year ago, and I have not used SIYI's cameras since then. There could be modifications in the cameras software. I used their documentation at that time to write the communication protocol accordingly, but I am not sure if it is still applies. Unfortunately, I currently don't have time to test this.

Please note that I implemented a Proportional controller for the gimbal rotation function, because the camera firmware at that time didn't provide a way to request rotations. Instead, they provided rotation speed. However, I think they provided this function in later firmware versions.

You can check the camera documentation and re-implement a new function that directly requests gimbal rotations.

I hope this helps.

Hi @k-khosravi , have you manage to setup a solution for moving the gimbal by extracting the angles directly from the camera? I am working on a ZR10 and I am still stuck vs the wiggly loop caused by the proportional ctrl on the speed. I am pretty sure there is a way to extract directly the angles in the latest firmware but I am struggling to understand the sdk from the manual of the camera.
