Use of TPU lines to communicate with things.

[Anthony Banks]

We have been sponsored a cm100 gimbal from uav vision (awesome gimbal, thanks guys!) however we can't communicate with it (not the gimbal's fault). Has anyone used tpu lines out of the servo board before? We have to use a TTL-RS232 converter as it is ttl out of the servo board and the gimbal is serial. We can communicate and move the gimbal via the provided test software. thanks - anthony

Which pin coming out of the servo board were you trying to use?

Thanks for replying Kevin. We found the issue. The db9 plug from the gimbal requires a null modem cable/connection between it and the TTL-rs232 converter. Once that was put in place, everything worked fine...we could load the joystick plugin and control the gimbal.
