How The Tarot Gimbal Is Powered?

This video demonstrates how to setup a Tarot T-3D V gimbal with flight controller or receiver using onboard power. The process involves connecting the supplied USB programming cable to the Motor Controller port on the circuit board of the T-2D and connecting it to your computer using the USB adapter. The “Gimbal Motor Driver Software User Interface Instructions” in the Assembly Manual are followed to configure the motor driver.

The video also covers how to set up the manual pitch control using the Spektrum DX8. The video also discusses the troubleshooting process for a Tarot gimbal, including switching to a TBS Discovery frame and 4S from 3S. The gimbal’s red and black power wires should be connected directly to a 2S or 3S battery, while the “T” pin should be connected to the Pixhawk’s AUX1 signal.

The video also discusses the installation of the Tarot 680 build and the need to use the “point camera at location” feature. The gimbal can only stabilize using the gimbal’s onboard firmware.

The video also provides instructions on how to mount the gimbal to an ELEV-8 v3 chassis. It is important to disconnect all 12V power connections, as the minimum voltage for a Tarot Gimbal on 4S is 3.2V/cell, and the maximum voltage is 4.2V/cell or 16.8V. The gimbal has two screws that attach to the top plate, but the VTX has three wires for the camera and two wires for the video output.

The video concludes by mentioning that the gimbal goes through a calibration procedure every time it is powered up, requiring careful positioning during this process.
