brushless gimbal

thingiverse

this is my first brushless gimbal for a mobius camera. the motors and the controller are from rctimer: 2804-100T brushless gimbal motor 2-axis brushless gimbal controller & imu v1.0 additional parts are: anti-vibration rubber balls from rctimer ball bearing 8x4x3 mm bolt m4 x 10 mm nut m4 the controller software is from here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/brushless-gimbal-brugi/ here are a few movies with the gimbal in action.http://youtu.be/fo5YV5kvk_Qhttp://youtu.be/WvwDGBNRNxshttp://youtu.be/uUQwaLmqgO4http://youtu.be/MbdtZ-Mk_3E update: arm2_final_v2 is an updated version, that adds a bit more space for the sensor module unter the camera. arm1_final_v2 is an updated version, with less imbalance on the roll axis, in case the camera is attached to the frame without additional weight from alpha gel pads. arm3_final_v2 added hole for zip tie (idea by marhar). Instructions the design is pretty simple, just print the three arms, insert the ball bearing, attach the motors and the motion sensing unit. upload the software, choose the correct motor number ant their rotation direction, then adjust the pid settings... finding the correct pid settings caused a bit of a headache. the creo elements express (free 3d cad) file of the entire assembly can also be downloaded in case someone wants to modify the design.
