New Alexmos 3axis?

[KillerJupe]

So i just received my alexmos 3 axis from RC Timer and it's unlike any other module i've seen.


http://www.rctimer.com/product_963.html


See the pictures at the very bottom.


It's got output for P, R, Y on the main board.


The 3rd axis is attached via 7 pins.
Standard 4 plus 3 for yaw motor to be moved to main board.




I've noticed the +5v and g are in a non standard order for the RX/FC which is super annoying.


I've been looking for a manual or something describing this layout but can't seem to find any reference to it.

they have all been stacking the 3rd axis for a while now..... your gonna see a direction that aligns those pads on the pcb top and bottom pcb....p=pitch, r=roll, y=yaw.... on the viacopter the y motor pins are basically bussed where they go from 3rd axis to main board and directly next to the pins you hook the motor too. get closeups and ask again if you get stuck

Ok that makes more sense.
I guess I have just had the older versions and couldn't find any with the new picture/instructions.
I like this way a lot more.

I have it all working pretty properly but I'm having trouble getting the unit to power up my Rx.
Here is a picture of the pins looks to go (G,Sig,5+)
I'm getting 5v on the meter but damn thing won't power up my rxView attachment 16448

on alexmos mapped boards, there is a p1 pad that's not shorted that needs to be soldered across to make the 5v hit the pwm/ppm rail.....i'd assume yours needs something like that too....

How does this compare to the current Alexmos boards? anyone had the chance to try one yet?

They’re not shipping yet. I have one on order. They’re saying a few more weeks. We’ll see.

were all waiting on the demos from 3 new offerings...

Soldering the L1 jumper fixed the issue.
It was in a terrible location to solder thought, boxed in by pins on all sides.

Thanks

 

[kloner]

L1, thats the one..... hahha, sorry about that.

What does 3 new offerings mean? Is there a place in the US that will be getting some in ?

I see several alexmos boards here: http://kopterworx.com/shop/camera-gimbals-remote/alexmos-boards.html

mainly these:
V3.5 AlexMos Brushless Gimbal Controller 3 axis

AlexMos 3-axis Sipmle BGC 2,2

Is the v3.5 the newest one? I read the text that goes along with these - do they perform differnet functions when it comes to a BGC?

 

[kloner]

the 3.5 3.0 and the 2.2 are another brand. i've messed with the red 3.0 version they had, it wasn't my favorite..... you want viacopter brand when it comes to alexmos boards, and they got a new one up next that is 32 bit now and alot more accurate.

if you need one now get this one
