    on the website
    for the Marinez board picture i can see the sensor lying next to it
    but for the Alexmos board i dont see the sensor image
    is it integrated with the Alexmos board
    i cant seem to find it if i have to order it separately

    Ramesh, none of us REALLY know if there is much difference or greater torque gains between the 5208-150t and 5208-180t when using either the alexm or mart boards but we do know for a fact that there are MANY folks using the Alexmos/150t combo with great results with large cameras. Until I hear from several users who have actually used BOTH the alexm and mart controllers and have compared the two using the 150t and 180t I will not be jumping on the 180t bandwagon just because it's something 'new'

    Howard.
    can u clear just one doubt i am having
    does the Alexmos come with the sensor
    i cant see the image of the sensor near the board
    do i need to worry about it
    or just order it as it would certainly come with the sensor.

    Yes, the controller comes with the sensor (IMU) unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

    At the bottom of the page where it says "included" it says all that is in the kit....you're safe to order. Currently you can only order 2-axis. You will need to order a 2nd controller and sensor for the pan axis.

    ArmIMU v2.0 sensor
    Power wire
    Rc wire
    sensor wire (30sm) optionali you can buy 45sm

    Hi all - when using 5s lipo. Is this correct on AlexMos board:


    "If you are running higher than 2S, you will need to jumper the JP1 pads."

    We use a CC pro bec on 12.5V with a 4S lipo, if you use no bec your voltage will drop and that will change your settings, for the Hott receiver we use a CC 10A bec on 5.1V

    Has anyone used the v2 expansion board? Does it work? I know Josh had ordered one. I have not seen much information on this anywhere on the web.

    Hi Mario - it sounds logical, but should`nt the board itself control the voltage ?
    On the setup pdf on simple bgc it just states 2-4s, and nothing more, but Bill uses a 5s and just dont charge it over 20.7 volt, i think he wrote.

    mayby someone can tell the exact limits, and if direct lipo connection or bec controlled is the best way.

    It will be exciting to see aerial footage
    I ordered the Alexmos V3 controller and two 5208 - 150T motors
    wonder when will they come..
    apparently the site say that motors will come from China
    and controller from Armania ???
    my order is from http://www.funtobuyonline.com/
