OPERATION
Limitations
The current NovaX 350 firmware versions only allow for controlling pitch. Future firmware
versions will offer additional controls.
Notes: If you use another receiver/transmitter set than the RC Logger 89102RC, it may be
capable of controlling all axes. Respective cables are included in the delivery contents. Make
sure to connect the cables as shown in the section "Wiring Diagram".
Checklist
Before you supply power take care of the following points:
» Is a camera installed?
» Is the antenna installed?
» Does the pitch motor point to the left?
» Is the gimbal platform secured?
» Is the camera secured?
Establish power supply
Connect the power cable to the JSTXH connector on the flight battery to supply the gimbal with
power (step 6). Install a camera before you supply power to the gimbal!
If you use a Yi camera, it is necessary to enable AV Out on the
camera via the Yi app.
Refer to www.yitechnology.com for more information.
Initialization
The gimbal is or needs to be initialized in the following situations:
> when powering it on for the first time.
> when powering it on and pitch or roll angle is not parallel to horizon line.
> when in heading lock mode and heading angle does not lock (unstable).
Initialize the gimbal after mounting it to the NoxaX 350 as follows:
1. Place the NovaX 350 on a flat and even surface.
2. Keep the gimbal motionless.
3. Establish power supply.
4. Do not move the gimbal and it initializes automatically.
5. Upon completion, pitch and roll angles are parallel to the horizon line and heading follow
mode is activated.
Adjusting the channel of the video transmitter
1. If the gimbal is installed, disconnect the power supply and then remove the gimbal.
2. Locate the video transmitter and channel switches.
3. Adjust the channel to your required frequency. See the below displayed switch combinations.
