Hi guys,

Firstly, yes I know its old technology but the unit has been recently replaced with warranty and suits my operation perfectly.

I am having problems configuring the  aircraft to operate single pilot and need someone with advanced  knowledge of DJI workings.

UAV is at follows:

S900 Platform

A2 Controller

Z15-GH4 / PANASONIC GH3

Lightbridge 1 (Master and Slave base units) / Galaxy Tab

Futaba T8FG Super (FASST / MULTI2)

iOSD Mark II

I have spent countless hours and dollars trying to set the unit up and  having particular issues with obtaining control the the gimbal /  camera.  Ideally I want to control the Z15 through the CANbus as I have read is  possible but cannot achieve this. Nor can I get the GCU direct controls  to operate using the A2's F ports.

I have all channels mapped in the A2 assistant. It shows the Pan, Tilt, Mode and Shutter funtions have been detected and work as per the Tx. I have connected the Z15 GCU directly to the CAN2 PCU and also have the iOSD on CAN2 to obtain telemetry.

I cannot obtain control the the gimbal. I have then tried connecting the GCU directly to the A2 using the F ports and still don't have any control.

Is there something I am missing?? I have followed all wiring diagrams, updated all firmware and tried fault finding. The only cable I seem to be missing is the s-port cable from the iOSD to the A2. I am not sure what this does?

I am assuming I do not require the LB1 DBUS/ A2 X2 connected as I am not wanting to control the gimbal through the LB system.

Any help would be very much appreciated at this point.

Cheers and thanks for your time.
