Gimbal Control Unit (GCU)
1. Make sure all ports are accessible when installing your MC so as to facilitate wiring and software configuration.
2. In 3-pin ports, the pins near the nicks are the signal pins.
3. Use the 8-pin to 6-pin cable for the G6 port, and the 10-pin to 9-pin cable for the G9 port.
4. DO NOT cover the heat sinks, and keep them unobstructed at all times.
5. The IMU module is NOT waterproof or oil proof.
RC Receiver
1. The diagram on the previous page shows example connections. The aircraft signal will transmit through
the DJI Lightbridge ground system. After connecting to the Lightbridge, it is not necessary to connect with
the RC receiver.
2. Prepare 2 receivers, one for gimbal control, and the other for aircraft control. Refer to the 2-Pilots Solution
for more detail.
3. If only one receiver is used for both aircraft and gimbal control, refer to the 1-Pilot Solution for more detail.
4. Setup the Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder channels on the gimbal control TX. The command stick will control
gimbal rotation velocity. The center position is 0, and the end point is maximum velocity in both clockwise
and counter clockwise directions. (The end point is 100%)
5. Choose one 3-position switch/channel to use as the Z15-5D III (HD) Working Mode switch. (MODE)
6. Choose one 2-position switch/channel to use as the camera shutter control switch (SHUT), and another
2-position switch to use as the camera lens orientation switch in Reset Mode (AUX2).
7. Please refer to the A2/Wookong-M User Manual for aircraft control settings. Connect the receiver to the
GCU correctly.
