The `Tarot 2-Axis Gimbal <https://store.3dr.com/products/tarot-t-2d-brushless-gimbal-kit>`__ |
is the recommended gimbal for the :ref:`Pixhawk <common-pixhawk-overview>` |
and :ref:`APM2 <common-apm25-and-26-overview>` due to its low cost and good |
performance. |
Copter, Plane, Rover support passing through a pilot desired roll or |
pitch angle and also more advanced automated aiming of the camera (i.e. |
ROI - region-of-interest). |

Gimbal Assembly instructions |
Paper instructions are normally provided with the gimbal and a short |
user manual can also be found in the 'User Manual' directory of the |

The Tarot gimbal's red and black power wires should be connected |
directly to a 2S or 3S battery. If you plan to use 4S, please use a |
voltage regulator to ensure the voltage stays within safe operating |
limits: DC 7.4 V - 14.8 V (recommended 12 V). 3DR RTF Quad, Y6, and X8 |
include a voltage regular to allow use of 4S batteries with the Tarot |
gimbal. |
The 'T' pin should be connected to the Pixhawk's AUX1 signal pin. |
One of the two '-' pins should be connected to the Pixhawk's AUX1 ground |
pin. |
Operation |
Upon powering your vehicle, the gimbal will display a solid yellow light |
while it is starting and calibrating. Do not touch the gimbal while it |
is starting up. When the gimbal displays a blinking blue light, it is |
ready for flight. If the gimbal is not connected to the autopilot, it |
will perform basic stabilization without autopilot control, indicated by |
a solid blue light. |
**LED meanings** |
Solid yellow = calibrating |
Blinking blue = ready, connected to autopilot |
Solid blue = ready, not connected to autopilot |

The 'Servo Limits' holds the minimum and maximum PWM values that will be |
sent from the APM/Pixhawk to the gimbal (i.e. on RC9 if set-up like |
above). |
The 'Angle Limits' are the earth-frame angles (in degrees) that the |
gimbal can achieve. '0' degrees is straight ahead, '90' degrees is |
straight up, '-90' degrees is straight down. The Tarot gimbal is capable |
of pointing straight down (i.e. '-90') to straight ahead (i.e. '0'). |
