3rd Axis Ext. Board for AlexMos Brushless Gimbal Controller Board To connect the extension board to the SimpleBGC 2-axes controller use 4 wires: SDA (I2C), SCL (I2C), GND (common), +BAT (power).
SDA and SCL are connected parallel to the sensor (note that for the I2C connection, its better to get as short wires as possible).
The 3rd axis board needs of the separate power supply from the battery. When powered by USB, the board doesn’t work and is not recognized by the main controller at the start. To activate the extension board, choose it in the Motor Output drop-down list in the «Advanced» tab.
On the board there is a LED which shows the modes of operation:
This board works only together with the SimpleBGC 2-axes controller. Single operation is not possible.
Use the same motors as for the main controller. Do not use regular motors for planes or multirotors! Use only special motors designed for gimbals with resistance between the phases not less than 5 ohms.
