Sbus Gimbal Setup

Cube Autopilot

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to connect a sbus gimbal to my cube orange. I can’t seem to find a full description on how to do it. Where to plug it in/how to set it up ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you for your help. I guess I have a two part question. First was gimbal setup and second was Sbuso setup. Thanks again.

Hi Alvin,

Thank you for your help. I’m almost finished. I’m trying to set the gimbal up so the A button will pan one direction and the B will do the other. The only way I have found d to do it is use the C button for the default and the have to toggle from A to C and B to C. It’s not letting me setup 2 buttons for one channel. Any ideas?

Thanks again!
Shaun

This is because the Herelink buttons are not 3 ways buttons. You can’t assign multiple buttons to the same channel otherwise they will conflict with each other.

You will need to write a lua script to control a RCOUT from multiple RCIN;
or assign mavlink buttons with messages such as SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW
