Description:
BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver is the original BaseCam SimpleBGC 8-bit controller board (formerly also called AlexMos). While this board has been superseded by the 32-bit version, this 8-bit version is still available in the marketplace and is actively used and supported.
Without the extension board, this BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver can be used for building high-quality 2-axis camera stabilizing systems. The controller can also be used for 3-axis control systems with the addition of the extension board.
In either case, from a functional perspective, the newer 32-bit board is 100% backwards compatible with this BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver, and users of this board can freely upgrade systems from this board to the newer 32-bit board.
In addition, the management software is backwards compatible, so it is possible (or preferred) to use a new version of the GUI (SimpleBGCs management software) with this board- giving an improved experience with this BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver and also further making an upgrade to the 32-bit board as easy as possible.
The BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver is configured through our multi-platform software product (Simple BGC GUI). You may run this on a PC, Mac or Linux. A version is also available for Android.
Note: The BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver has firmware and the GUI software runs externally (on a PC, Mac or Linux etc) but the GUI keeps track of the firmware number and it requires that the GUI revision be at or newer than the board firmware.
While there is a User Manual for the 8-bit version, since you may use the GUI for the 32-bit board with this board (the 8-bit) it may nonetheless be instructive to obtain the newer and more thorough User Manual for the newer 32-bit version. This is especially pertinent if you choose to use the newer version of the GUI with this BGC v3.15 MOS Gimbal Controller Driver. Remember however you can only use firmware for the 8-bit board on the 8-bit board.
