2. Assembly and Installation

2.1 Unpacking

For the system unpacking, it is recommended to remove the lid of the box for a better handling of the device. It is also necessary to remove all plastics that prevent the octagonal rings from moving (this protection is necessary for shipping).

  • The package must contain the following parts:
    • The FFT GYRO system (fully assembled)
    • Two aluminum profiles for the base (Leg support)
    • A 12 V power supply
    • A mini-USB-to-USB cable
    • A set of three servomotors with their connection cables (if purchased separately)

2.2 Assembling Instructions

To assemble the FFT Gyro system, follow the instructions given below.

2.2.1 Install Leg Supports

  • Place the FFT Gyro on a secure table.
  • Fix the leg support at its place. Once fixed, secure the leg support using 5mm Allen's Key.
  • Repeat the same for the second leg support.
  • Refer to the image below for details.

2.2.2 Unlock Gimbals

  • Once the leg supports are installed, place the system so that it rests on the support legs.
  • Now, safely unlock the gimbals by removing the locking mechanism.
  • Note that FFT Gyro has a total of 8 locking mechanism installed.
  • Refer to the image below for details.

2.2.3 Verify Gimbal Mobility

  • Once the gimbals are unlocked, evaluate the mobility of the three degrees of freedom (DoF) by following the steps below.

Important

  • Before proceeding, ensure that all power sources are disconnected.
  1. Manually move each gimbal and check if rotation of G1, G2 and G3 is smooth and free from any obstruction.
  2. Each gimbal must rotate smoothly in both ways and should not have any physical obstruction that prevents free rotation (test multi-roll movements in both directions).

2.3 General Considerations

  • It is recommended to install the FFT GYRO system on a space with good ventilation.
  • It is also recommended to place it on a table with stability and free space on all four sides, so that air can flow easily.

Voltage and Surge Protection

  • It is necessary to place a voltage regulation and overload protection device to protect the electronic system of the FFT GYRO.
  • When using the system with a multi-rotor motors, keep all external objects at a safe distance. Introducing any object near the system may result in severe damage to people, equipment or surrounding.
