Equipment Pixhawk 1 Standard Tarot T3DV Metals 3 Axis Gimbal Taranis QX7S X8R Receiver I have checked to see the gimbal works by switching it the gimbal to SBUS mode using the dodgy Tarot software and can make the gimbal tilt and pan using the pots on the X7S (set to Chan 11 and 12). So the gimbal works. Buy Tarot-Acc-T-2D / Tarot T-2D Brushless Gimbal for GoPro (2-Axis) online at the lowest price. HeliPal is famous for their Fast Shipping, Low Price and Good Service.

1. Tarot Gimbal Software

I've been trying to get the Tarot T-2D configuration application to run for a couple of weeks in a VM with no luck. I've tried VirtualBox with:. Windows 7. Windows 7, running the.exe in WinXP compatibility mode. Windows XP SP3. Windows XP, no SPs Each time I get a dialog from Windows telling me the application has crashed and asking about sending an error report. I would really like to be able to point my camera somewhere other than straight ahead, but until I get this app working, I can't do that. I got the application, along with drivers for the Tarot USB dongle, from here: I can see the 'Prolific' device in Device Manager, but when I get to step 3 at the above link: Double click on the ZYX-BMGC-ENV1.5.exe file (found in the above zip) and the configuration UI shown below should appear the application crashes every time.

I got the gimbal from a local hobby shop, so it's not ready to roll with my Y6 like the ones direct from 3DR are. Has anyone done this in VirtualBox? Has anyone seen these symptoms? 3D was the problem, but it wasn't as simple as enabling 3D support in VirtualBox.

Here's what I had to do:. boot Win7 VM into Safe Mode. insert Guest Additions disc from VirtualBox Devices menu. install Guest Additions and Basic 3D support. as opposed to experimental WDDM drivers. Guest Additions installer will ask you if you want WDDM, click 'No'. this only works in Safe Mode, as the installer will warn you if you are not in Safe Mode.

I've been having all sorts of problems w/ my Tarot T-2D gimbal since it arrived. I wish I had recorded some of the odd noises and strange positioning but can try to explain. The noises 'magically' resolved themselves recently, but it had started screaming at me, in it's own language, every time I powered up the Pixhawk. This after several flights w/out incident. That and some odd motor noises at different times from the very begining. The only thing I can imagine that brought it on was that I've been trying to configure my Aux 3 (Spektrum DX8) control to the tilt function of gimbal. That alarm noise has gone away after not changing anything that I'm aware of, only retrying a few more times in order to diagnose.

Current situation though is the position of the gimbal is past 90 degrees straight down upon startup. I've got a blinking blue light which means ready and connected to autopilot. I have what I think is a connection via the Tarot software (ZYX-BMGC v1.5) although I can not upgrade the firmware or load a config. I'm including a screen shot of that b/c it shows the camera tilt past 90 degrees I mention and proves I have connected to it I think. Do I have a bad gimbal? Is there anything to that DSM2/DSMJ/DSMX connector that I should be using considering I'm using a Spektrux DX8 and the DSM connection on the Pixhawk for my satellite Rx?

According to that diagram, I assume my connections to the bottom (or top, depending) of the Tarot board are good for battery and Receiver/Camera Control Connector. Hard to see w/ it put together. Are we not to use the other connectors for DSM, Motor Driver or Gimbal Controller unless updating firmware? Roll and Tilt Motors are also connected as well. This probably relates more to the Tx control of gimbal and not the odd start up situation the Tarot T-2D is displaying, but I'm hoping there may be some relation.

And now, my connectors are starting to get loose. I'm loosing confidence quickly that even assuring stick position mode is set and the motor firmware is upgraded to v1.5 that this thing will be good. I'm sure this was tested before it left 3DR, but I've spent way too many hours on this RTF kit just to get operational.

I have to call it quits for today at least, and it might be a couple days before I can get back at it. Reply by on May 29, 2014 at 7:34pm. Keith, That sounds like a good option and not the first time I've heard to try bypassing the Pixhawk. Unfortunately, my receiver is the w/ a single connection to the DSM port on the Pixhawk.

I'm thinking I should go w/ a full fleged Rx on this but was trying to keep it simple according the the 3DR recommendations. I'm a little worried my channel mixing and mapping could get screwed up. I think all of the above is for the actual control (tilt) of the gimbal. I'm still not convinced there isn't something wrong w/ the gimbal itself considering the spastic startup movements it continues to exhibit. If I can ever manage to upgrade the motor firmware to 1.5, maybe I could rule that out. Reply by on May 30, 2014 at 9:58am. Taking the Pixhawk out of the picture worked to avoid the 'seizure' on power up.

Now, I'll have to scare up another cable to connect new Rx to both Pixhawk and servo directly. Still having a very rought time w/ the Tarot software on the motor config. At the least, when I'm able to connect the motor port to the PC's COM port, which is rare, the firmware upgrade goes nowhere. At the worst, I've been sent to a blue screen of death on more than a couple occasions. The saga continues. ‹ Previous. 1.
