Anyone used this gimbal/rig setup?

Pieced together a s550 (mini s800) after upgrading from my old DJI F550. Also bought a gimbal but wondering how to connect it all together.

Gimbal is assembled, controller board has been soldered. Now I don't know where to connect it all? There was no software or manuals included so I wasn't sure of everything. Pics provided below. I have bought a 1100mAh 3s for power

-2 Axis Gimbal (DYS Motors)
-S550 Hexacopter
-Naza v2
-Simple BGC Controller

Mainly wondering where do I connect these wires from the controller to the motors, and from the motors to the controller? Maybe I'm just TOO much of a gimbal noob, or did I miss a thread?. Anyways pics are below. Thanks for any help!

I am going to guess that the two connectors on the one side of the board three prongs coming out. One is roll and the other is tilt.

Then I going to guess the bigger one is for tuning

Thank you sir! Took me a while last night to also realize those ports were Pitch/Roll. And had no idea this thing connects by Mini USB. Looks like I'll go buy one.

Now I just need to figure out how the heck to mount and tune this thing. Seems like another language lol

Go to the downloads section. There will be a manual there. I'm guessing you have 8-bit. Your supplier will know for sure.

So I've got the gimbal mounted and kind of balanced. I'm now wondering how do I connect the gimbal to the receiver? I have the pitch and roll connected. But there is no additional wire to connect to the receiver. Anyone know what I need here?
