BaseCamBGC Pro

BaseCamBGC Pro controller inherits all the power and flexibility of SimpleBGC 32-bit brushless gimbal controller and introduces new capabilities:

  • High-power motor drivers with current capabilities up to 13A per motor, that provides a capability to build a gimbal for virtually any camera system presented in the market (5…50 kg weight)
  • Integrated 5V DC regulated power supply
  • Integrated 12V or 14.8V (selectable) DC regulated buck-boost power supply, to power video equipment (camera, transmitters, converters, etc.) from a single battery
  • Full set of protections: overcurrent, short-circuit, over-temperature, under-voltage protection in DC converters and motor drivers
  • Battery voltage sensor and voltage drop compensation
  • Current sensor for precise power consumption monitoring and battery lifetime estimating
  • Built-in Bluetooth (BLE) module compatible with latest iOS and Android devices
  • 3 dedicated ports to connect absolute rotary position sensors (encoders) by SPI, PWM or I2C protocol
  • 2 CAN ports for future support of high-quality gyro sensors and extension boards
  • Modular design: the controller is split into 3 modules: power board, logic board, and interface board. It gives more freedom in customization to better fit into your product
  • Temperature sensors: 3 external (optional) and 1 internal to implement over-temperature protection for motors and controller
  • Integrated solid-state power switch allows you to use miniature power On/Off button
  • On-board buzzer
  • Supports extra features in the firmware that are not available in «Regular» and «Tiny» versions (see «Versions comparison chart» in the «Appendix A» of the User Manual)

Interface board connectors

Exposed to the user:

  • USB port for PC connection*
  • UART port to connect a serial modem, Bluetooth module, or any other device that implements Serial API protocol
  • 4 analog inputs for analog joystick or potentiometers connection with flexible function mapping
  • 5 PWM inputs/outputs with 5V supply for hobby RC or servo connection
  • Spectum/s-bus signal input
  • 4 AUX inputs/outputs for various functions
  • Menu button
  • Status LEDs

Hidden from the user:

  • Analog joystick port
  • CAN port
  • I2C port (internal)**

* USB is connected internally to the UART port via CP2102 adapter, so UART and USB cannot be used in parallel. WARNING: using bad USB cable may cause insufficient voltage problems, especially if multiple external modules are connected, like: CAN_IMU, External IMU, encoders, WiFi module, etc.
** Not available for the main IMU sensor connection


Logic board connectors

  • 3x Encoder ports
  • 3x PWM servo outputs
  • CAN port
  • 2x I2C ports
  • 3x temperature sensor ports

Power board connectors

  • Battery input
  • 3x brushless motor outputs
  • 12/14.8V DC power supply output
  • 5V DC power supply output
  • Power switch (low-current)
  • 5V cooling fan

Maximum Ratings

  • Input voltage: 8…26 V
  • Input current: 50A max.
  • Motor output current: 8A continuous, 13A Peak*
  • 5V stabilized power supply: 5A max.*
  • 12V/14.8V stabilized power supply: 5A max.*

* At maximum ratings, heatsink and cooling fan is required

Dimensions

Power board + logic board: 115×50×20 mm
Interface board: 25×50×10 mm

Weight: 292g approx.

USB Drivers for PC Connection

If controller being connected to the USB port, is not recognized as COM-port, most probably you need to install or update drivers for CP210x chip. You can download driver for your OS from the manufacturer of CP210x.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The latest version (6.7.4) of driver for Windows may cause problems with delay in data transmission, visible as a big lag of the GUI. In this case, install version 6.7.2 of the driver, which had no such problems.
