Hello there, Website was refreshed on weekend with some problems. I'll pull all the old files down now and replace them today. Sorry about the confusion, the last few pages of this forum are quite a nasty read :S Only realised when 1001 emailed me. Cheers Cedric Update: Pulled down all...

If you bought an AV130, the servo's will already be modified to use with dummy pots. All you need to do is make the resistors up which is relatively easy.

I think the Skyline tilt channel must be in slew mode. Take the Skyline tilt out of slew into normal mode and then it should work.

It's nice to actually see an Epic

Is it still stabilising the pan and just ignoring your rudder input? Or is it just powered yet doing nothing. You don't need the 3 position switch for pan stab to work. Are there any red lights flashing on the Skyline? We're closing up in a few minutes... talk to you tomorrow.

Yes, the modification is the same whether you have HW 1.0. 1.1 or 1.2. They are the same wires getting modified on either looms. We posted the schematic because there are two different looms for 1.0 and 1.1-1.2. This way people can check if they did the mod correctly.

Sorry about that. Your hardware is the same as 1.1 and 1.2 apart from the pin out. The wiring loom manufacturer said they were too difficult to do with a 3 wires coming off one pin so we changed the pin header to make more space. ... Sorry again

If you're using a small camera (such as a GoPro), you can actually put the Skyline inside your camera tray (like in the picture)

Hold on, hold on. We'll have that wiring diagram in an hour or so. Don't break anything trying. Also, don't use any FW other than what's on the website with the new wiring changes. If you make the wiring changes and then try fW1.1.6 (lets say), the Skyline will exhibit some very creative (yet...

Brendon is working on an official schematic now. Will post soon

The upgrade will work on all skyline units. The wrong software file got uploaded to the website. It's fixed now. If everyone can download the software again. Very sorry.

... the bit about the pan switch is written in the wire mod PDF (http://www.photohigher.co.nz/assets/Uploads/Skyline-Wiring-Modification.pdf) Also note, the firmware for the Skyline is now inside the software. You only need to download FW1.2.2. Uninstall all our previous programs.

Progress: New firmware is on website. Use it cautiously at first. -You will need to make a few changes to your wiring loom and make up the dummy pots. -Dummy pots are being assembled now and we will be sending dummy pots to the distributors next week. You can wait for those if you want...

Hi Andy, If your camera tray isn't already in the lowest position you can try lowering it tray by changing the screw holes it is mounted on. You might be able to get it more level in the vertical direction.

Hi Guys, Where we are at today: FW is almost ready. Last week I told you about an issue with the pan, if your landing gear is attached to your gimbal, the Skyline will spin around on the ground. The only solution we could think to this that is elegant is to have another servo input to turn...

Hi Cristiano, To save yourself a headache, please put the Skyline back in the box and wait for a few more days. As you can see from the videos, everyone (as far as I can see) who has tested the new firmware (1.2) has got it working well. The last week or so has been really good. You'll have fun...

Hi guys, Quick update of where we're at: We sent FW1.2 out to people to test along with a manual. They then came back and highlighted a whole lot of confusing bits in the manual and bits they had trouble with. We are now addressing those. The manual is just about finished (next few days). As...

Yes, you can buy it. However, it may work very well or it may not (depending on many variables in your setup). Ultimately, you will be ok but you may have to wait for the new reconfigured software. I don't think the hardware will change much accept for the wiring harness over the next few...

You can adjust it by tightening the screw that holds the camera tray against the rollcage. The nylon washer does a good job in general of dampening. Software timing wise... yea sooner rather later (very vague). We want to restart production (which will only happen once it works 100%) so there...

Hi Mactadpole, What is worth waiting for is the next software. It will be more stable for the quirks removed. Seeing the next one will have standard servo control, the H-loom won't be needed. You will still need to have the gimbal setup correctly (some dampening and minimal play) but this goes...
