CHAPTER 3
STEP-BY-STEP SETUP
The following section outlines the steps required to set up and tune a gimbal using the B32
Gimbal Controller. Refer to later sections of this manual for greater details about the
software settings. This section is intended to provide a “big picture” view of the overall
process, so that you understand the purpose of more detailed sections in the manual. The
steps below assume you have completed a basic setup test, as specified in Chapter 2:
Getting Started.
STEP #1:
CONNECT THE B32 GIMBAL CONTROLLER TO YOUR COMPUTER
Connect the board to your computer with a mini USB cable. The first time you connect the
board to your computer, it may install the drivers automatically. If not, you can download
the latest drivers from the following link: www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/
usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
After you install the driver, a new virtual COM port will be created. You need to choose this
COM port in the SimpleBGC GUI software application to initiate the connection.
Caution: It is safe to connect both USB and the battery simultaneously, but be very careful not to reverse
the polarity of the battery, because it will burn out the controller and may damage your PC!
