w | Increase only the linear speed by 10% |
x | Decrease only the linear speed by 10% |
e | Increase only the angular speed by 10% |
c | Decrease only the angular speed by 10% |
3.3 Gimbal (PTZ) Control
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
1 | Increase the gimbal X-axis angle (range -90 ~ 90) |
2 | Decrease the gimbal X-axis angle (range -90 ~ 90) |
3 | Increase the gimbal Y-axis angle (range -90 ~ 20) |
4 | Decrease the gimbal Y-axis angle (range -90 ~ 20) |
0 | Reset the gimbal to the center position (x:0, y:-45) |
Tip: During keyboard control, keep the Keyboard UI terminal window focused; otherwise, the keys will not take effect.
[!NOTE]
