APM 2.6 to Tarot t4-3D

Hi all,

I';m not sure if this should be here or under the Gimbals forum but figured I';d try here first.

I have a Tarot 690 which I built up about a year ago with APM 2.6 flight controller. Unfortunately life has got in the way and I haven';t done much with it since. However, I now have a bit of time and motivation so thought I';d dig it back out and pop a gimbal on it. I have bought the Tarot T4-3D and it has just arrived. However, looking at the bundle of wires with it I';m a little confused as to what goes where so does anybody have any guides or advice on setting this up?

I have the following helpful picture:

and the following cables supplied with the gimbal:

The yellow/brown/red cable and black/white cable is fairly obvious to identify :) but where do they connect to? I have two spare sets of pins on the APM output but obviously have 3 connectors on this lead.

The small black lead at the top, I';m not so sure on. The larger at the bottom is a USB adaptor and presumably only used for configuring/setting up the gimbal and controller.

Finally, any thoughts on where I can best tap into power for this? Can I solder the leads directly to the PDB? I don';t really want to load up with a second battery to run this just yet so a handy power supply onboard would be useful.

Apologies for the probably stupid questions!

Thanks in advance,
Ian
