AlexMos 2 Axis Simple Brushless Gimbal Controller

AlexMos 2-Axis Simple Brushless Gimbal Controller for camera stabilization. SimpleBGC

This controller is designed on the principle invented by Alex Moskalenko. This special controller was designed to control two gimball motors. It receives information from gyroscopes and accelerometers mounted on the camera platform. This controller use standard IMU algorithm to define camera inclination angles. User set desired tilt angle with the remote control. PID-controller calculates the amount of compensation and send command to the power unit, which controls the current in the windings and thus the direction of the vector of magnetic field in the stator. Magnetic field moves the rotor to the right position.

Due to using IMU, mechanical part of the system is a very simple. There is no need in complex and expensive high-definition encoders for each axis. Just mount tiny IMU board on the camera platform, connect wires to controller and motors and all done!
