Bluetooth
A wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances. Computers and
mobile devices can configure the B32 Gimbal Controller if an optional Bluetooth board is
connected. This might be necessary if connected device does not support a wired USB
connection.

Brushless Motor
A responsive and efficient motor design that is often used in gimbal systems. The B32
Gimbal Controller is designed to work with three brushless motors (one for each axis).

Cogging
A phenomenon on brushless motors that is the result of the motor's magnetic poles. The
cog or detent is the point at which the center of the motor's magnets perfectly align with
the ideal magnetic path through the motor's poles. This detent can be sharp or soft
depending on pole construction and can cause the motor not to feel smooth when rotated
by hand.
FC (Flight Controller)
The main computer on an unmanned or remotely operated aircraft. The flight controller
keeps track of position and orientation of the aircraft in flight and can communicate this
information to the gimbal.
Firmware
The program code stored on an embedded device such as the B32 Gimbal Controller. The
firmware on the B32 Gimbal Controller can be upgraded using the SimpleBGC GUI
software application.
Follow Mode
Follow Mode allows the camera to “follow” movements of the outer frame, while
eliminating small movements to provide a cinematic feel.
