Hi Paktazh,

Here you go…! I'm attaching some pictures of mind, also give you the link to Hobby King ( base on their product code EC5) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...ry_Harness_12AWG_for_2_Packs_in_Parallel.html is too big, mind is EC3 (it's call lead connectors )

Hi
I figured out the wires but I am kind of confused about the the wires that goes to my Futaba 14 channel receiver it is unlike the Xaircraft that all 8 wires go to the receiver from the Xaircraft but in the Dji it only give you 5 ( A /E/T R/u )wires that goes to the receiver and the rest does not have any wire connection unlike Xaircraft to control the Gimbal ? if not connected to the receiver how do u control the gimbal
thanks in advance


Do I need to buy Futaba S-sub to be able to do that ?

Mine is a Hex copter with 14 ch receiver and 9 ch radio in the DJI manual it shows that one has to connect the Gimbal to port F1 and F2 but on the opposite side of DJI it does not showes that one has to connect any port for gimbal to the receiver ?

Hi Paktazh

you can choose whichever you like ( x1x2x3) I'm using X1 for gimbal ( tilting pan) X2 for gain adjustment last one X3 power up the MC with the BEC

Hi Paktazh

if you want to Gimbal to do 360 degrees rotational with your Alware three Axis it's require lot of modification ..! but for now you can plug straight to the RX assign a channel with your radio or ( slider) let us know rotational amount...

Motors won't turn ? make sure no props installed during this test, must be disconnect from the PC, power up the Bird, RX must be in GREEN and MC must be in RED from your Radio control pull down both sticks same direction ( corner to corner) motors will start if you keep the throttle below 10% it will shut off within five second above 10% steady run…..!

it shouldn't be flashing, double check your connection correctly inserted as per manual from MC to RX also must be calibrated thru Dji screen ....!

Yes my home plus other two Homes Family members ,Thanks

During a Firmware upgrade MC led become a bluish it's a normal, Browse around the Dji thread you will find it all the information you need, but if you still don't find enough information i will try to make a video for ya let us know
