    Zelle...new Firmware does not suddenly STOP a Picloc from working. Firmware load went OK ?? Can you retry loading firmware to make sure that nothing is wrong with the USB socket-> USB CHip -> Picloc Main Processor path.

    Bernhard.. the X1 has my preferred range on the Servo Acceleration slider ( in the Servo Tab ). The X3 simply has a multiplier of 3 on this value. Pick your preferred one. That's why there's a selection. Start with X1 if I were you. As I usually say.... the acceleration is only introducing...

    Newton & Mombasa : I have added another file from what I'm doing today. Go to the firmware folder of v56, and you should find Firmware with today's date. Look at the Readme file too: Accelerometer noize is taken away. If there is a gradual buildup during the procedure mentioned above, this...

    Newton & Mombasa : If you are getting drift in Roll or Tilt, there could be something wrong in how the unit is initializing. Do this: 1) Take Picloc out of your camera mount. 2) Disconnect everything external to Picloc. 3) Using only your USB as power source, power the box up, flat on a table...

This should bring the same...

    Guys ( and girls...yes there are some cute females using PL ).... I want to apologize for my absence in posting for last days. I've been extremely and abnormally busy at my dayjob last weeks. As pointed out in the posts above, there is obviously a bug in the direct outputs of Picloc when...

    Hi Dr Ray, Sorry about the USB. I can help you fix it if you have a soldering iron. Its just a question of retouching the 5 usb connections at the back of the usb, with the tip of the soldering iron...therefore refreshing the solder joint. Perhaps, having Picloc USB enabled is not a good idea...

    Hi Guys, I deliberately reduced the acceleration factor, because I noticed that many ( who had/have slow servos ) are bumping this value to max in order to get maximum performance... but then... the mount becomes noisy and jittery.. and then it's not Picloc's fault !! The acceleration is...
