ESP/SurgeX Gets Connected with Remote Portal18 Jun, 2014
Las Vegas, NV - June 18-20, 2014 - ESP/SurgeX, the leader in energy intelligence, is proud to announce the Remote Portal, a new module that brings IP connectivity to SurgeX Defender Series Surge+Diagnostic and MultiPak smart energy management systems as well as the ESP Envision Power Conditioning System (PCS). Integrators can now better understand and react to power problems through an IP connection.
ESP/SurgeX already has the industry's best surge protection technology. Adding remote IP connectivity to its diagnostic software allows ESP/SurgeX integrators to instantly view the history of power quality events, monitor live data, download/upload reports, manage voltage thresholds, and diagnose power disturbances remotely. And because recorded and live power incidents are time stamped, integrators can isolate power quality issues chronologically to identify trends which may be causing disruptions or downtime.
Benchmarking has become a major focus area for facility managers seeking to justify the ROI of technology investments. To help with this process, the Remote Portal compiles and compares power disruption and usage data over a wide range of equipment locations and facilities to provide a cumulative or real-time view of power quality and energy consumption. For benchmarking purposes, the detailed logs and reports clearly demonstrate the improvement in power quality that results from integrating ESP/SurgeX products.
"In the quest to maximize uptime and performance, remote troubleshooting and monitoring of power quality and energy usage is a priority," said ESP/SurgeX president, Shannon Townley. "The Remote Portal adds Internet connectivity to our industry leading surge protection and energy diagnostics equipment so integrators can quickly understand power issues, and correct them, without being onsite."
SurgeX's Remote Portal can be easily integrated with existing systems or implemented as part of a new installation. Both the MultiPak and Defender Series Surge + Diagnostic models provide professional-grade, Multi-Stage surge protection, EMI/RFI noise filtration, over/under voltage shutdown, first-of-its-kind Cat6 network protection, telephone line and wiring fault protection. The Surge + Diagnostic solution features customizable power protection settings and advanced data intelligence that helps integrators diagnose service calls proactively and keep short and long-term records of power quality. The MultiPak was made specifically for installation behind flat-panels displays and will fit naturally within common mounting mechanisms to protect valuable digital signage and video solutions.
The ESP/SurgeX Remote Portal will be available in Summer 2014, more information is available at http://www.SurgeX.com. You can also find ESP/SurgeX on Twitter and Facebook. * Note Event participation at: Las Vegas, NV - InfoComm 2014 - June 18-20 - Booth C8725

The inaugural Singapore Darts Masters got off to a bang Friday, as the quarter-final round at the Singapore Indoor Stadium was filled with upsets and the kind of top-level darts people associate with any World Series of Darts event.
Only the top players in the world are invited to these events, and on Saturday, we saw why. Legends fell at the very first hurdle, and surprise contenders put themselves firmly in the role of favourites with masterful performances.
Semi-Final and Final Recap
Michael van Gerwen recovered from his disappointment at the 2014 World Matchplay tournament to win the first edition of the Singapore Masters. Van Gerwen had been soundly beaten by Phil Taylor in the Matchplay final at Blackpool's Winter Gardens.
But with Taylor booted from this tournament at its quarter-final stage, Van Gerwen was too much for the rest in Singapore. The Dutchman vanquished Simon Whitlock in a competitive final:
(R): World Darts Series, Final, Michael van Gerwen (100.33) 11 (21) 8 (95.56) Simon Whitlock— PDCResults (@PDCResults) August 16, 2014
Whitlock had secured his place in the final by dispatching Dave Chisnall, Taylor's slayer, at the semi-final stage. Here are the full results from the final four stage and the all-important last match:
|Dave Chisnall vs. Simon Whitlock
|Michael van Gerwen vs. James Wade
|Van Gerwen
|Michael van Gerwen vs. Simon Whitlock
|Van Gerwen
The semi-finals can best be described as thrilling, high-scoring affairs. There were ton-plus scores galore between Chisnell and Whitlock, per PDC.tv:
Earlier in the evening, the first semi-final involving Whitlock and Dave Chisnall got off to a flyer with both players averaging over 105 after just three legs, with both taking out a ton-plus finish in the process.
A late rally from Chisnall proved fruitless in a match that set the stage for an instant classic between Van Gerwen and Wade.
An erratic beginning from Van Gerwen gave Wade some hope, before the Dutch ace composed himself to establish a measure of dominance, according to PDC.tv:
In the second semi-final, James Wade and Michael van Gerwen traded blows to share the first four legs. Van Gerwen got off to a shaky start, missing six attempts at a double in the opening leg, but recovered to take out two ton-plus finishes in order to head into the first break 3-2 up.
However, a resolute Wade wouldn't be so easily shook off. He evened the match at 5-5, before a series of frantic lead changes.
Eventually though, Van Gerwen, now 9-8 ahead, steeled his nerves and claimed two legs in a row to ensure his place in the final.
Once there, Van Gerwen made a faster start than the one he managed against Wade. However, the prolific Whitlock was able to make just as quick work of his early deficit, per PDC.tv:
Van Gerwen wasted no time in racing to a 3-0 lead, but Whitlock wasn't about to make this final a foregone conclusion, taking out 122 before sealing the next leg to head into the first break just one leg behind.
Whitlock continued his form in the next mini-session, winning two of the next three legs to level at four-all, before van Gerwen found his form once more and took the next two to head into the second break 6-4 up, landing an 11-darter in the process.
But just as he had against Wade, Van Gerwen crafted a strong finish. His late flurry meant he won with a little more room to spare.

Afterwards, Van Gerwen expressed his delight with the win and also deemed the Asia-based tournament a success, per PDC.tv:
That feels great, there's a big market for darts in Asia and we've all done a great job to bring the sport to the people over here. This means a lot to me, it's a fantastic win.
Simon never gave up - he never does - so you have to try 200 percent when you play him. It's been great here in Singapore, I'd like to thank the fans and everyone who bought a ticket, but I was here for one thing only, to win the trophy.
It was the perfect way to rebound from his Matchplay final hammering at the hands of Taylor. By dominating in Singapore, Van Gerwen has reasserted himself as the premier player in Darts.
That had been in some doubt after he was taught a lesson by the game's old master in Blackpool. However, Van Gerwen has now removed any such doubts.
Here are the full results for every quarter-final match:
|Peter Wright
|James Wade
|Simon Whitlock
|Raymond van Barneveld
|Phil Taylor
|Dave Chisnall
|Michael van Gerwen
|Andy Hamilton
Peter Wright 4-10 James Wade
The Machine dominated the opening match from start to finish, only surrendering one of the opening six legs. Going up against the favoured Peter Wright, James Wade put together a complete display, finishing with an average in the triple digits and an impressive 71 percent on the checkout.
PDCResults had the final score:
(R): World Darts Series, Quarter-Final, Peter Wright (96.13) 4 (19) 10 (100.65) James Wade— PDCResults (@PDCResults) August 15, 2014
Snakebite took the second leg but had no answer for his opponent early, and he needed two late rallies to limit the damage to 6-3 going into the break. Momentum seemed to shift in favour of the seeded player, but Wright missed two shots at double eight on the checkout in the 10th leg, allowing Wade to regain his composure.
The 31-year-old never looked back, only surrendering one more leg on his way to an easy win. Missing the 2014 Premier League must have left the World No. 6 bitterly disappointed, but his progression throughout the year indicates it only aided his play.
Simon Whitlock 10-6 Raymond van Barneveld
Simon Whitlock is in the form of his life, and he needed only 10 minutes to win five consecutive legs and steal this quarter-final from the Netherland's Raymond van Barneveld.
Live Darts was as stunned as everyone in attendance:
Simon Whitlock reels off five consecutive legs to seal a thrilling 10-6 win over Raymond van Barneveld! #darts pic.twitter.com/AJZFysbnP3— Live Darts (@livedarts) August 15, 2014
Down 5-6, the Wizard turned on the jets and dramatically improved on the checkout, giving Van Barneveld almost no chance. The big Dutchman has struggled somewhat of late, dropping all the way to 15th place in the world ranking, and his struggles were once again on display in Singapore.
Crucial misses in the 15th leg painted the perfect picture of how this match played out, as Barney couldn't finish one of his three chances on the checkout, handing the frame to his Australian opponent.
The match stats:
(R): World Darts Series, Quarter-Final, Simon Whitlock (97.05) 10 (19) 6 (95.51) Raymond van Barneveld— PDCResults (@PDCResults) August 15, 2014
Whitlock's slow start is somewhat worrisome, but the Wizard seems to have gotten over his tendency to finish matches slowly. He's been excellent under pressure in the summer of 2014 and will be a dangerous opponent for anyone he faces.
Phil Taylor 6-10 Dave Chisnall
Dave Chisnall gave fans the upset of the day, eliminating strong favourite and darts legend Phil Taylor in the third quarter-final.
The Power dominated on the averages, but the problems that plagued him earlier in the season seemed to rear their ugly heads once again, as multiple errors on the checkout gave the match to Chisnall. Team Chizzy shared the stats:
(R) World Darts Series, Quarter-Final Phil Taylor (101.47) 6-10 (95) Dave Chisnall #TeamChizzy— Dave Chisnall Fans (@TeamChizzy180) August 15, 2014
Chizzy took an early break to go up 2-0 and kept the pressure on the experienced Taylor throughout the match, forcing him into costly mistakes. The Power won his frames decisively but couldn't fit back in Chisnall's legs, going down 3-9.
Taylor then proceeded to do, well, what Taylor does, winning three consecutive legs and igniting the crowd. It looked like the legend would do the impossible and somehow win the match, but two misses on the checkout opened the door for Chizzy to finish 112 on the checkout, and he didn't miss.
Speaking to PDC.tv, he was understandably excited about the result: "I'm delighted. I started quite well and was hitting my finishes well. My finishing was my strong point but I scored quite well and that gave me the chances. Phil gave me the shot at 112 at the end and I took it."
Taylor's hot streak comes to a sudden end in a match he never thought he would lose, but looking at the Power's phenomenal season, there's no reason to fear his struggles on the checkout will continue.
Michael van Gerwen 10-4 Andy Hamilton
Michael van Gerwen did what he had to do as World No. 1 and tournament favourite, easily beating Andy Hamilton to secure his spot in the semi-final.
The Dutchman had a sloppy start but recovered to take a 4-3 lead, and four consecutive legs meant he never had to worry about the final result of this match. The stats, via PDCResults:
(R): World Darts Series, Quarter-Final, Michael van Gerwen (98.04) 10 (19) 4 (87.54) Andy Hamilton— PDCResults (@PDCResults) August 15, 2014
The Hammer didn't have his best outing of the season, failing to push his average beyond 90. He never looked like he could really threaten the in-form Van Gerwen, who, following the exit of Taylor, will now be the favourite for the win.
Darts pundit and "Grumpy Old Man" Stuart Pyke was impressed by what he saw on this opening night of the very first Singapore Darts Masters:
Really enjoyable opening night here in Singapore at the #darts Masters event. Taylor out. S/finals Van Gerwen/Wade + Whitlock/Chisnall— Stuart Pyke (@stuartpykesport) August 15, 2014
The semi-final draw:
|Dave Chisnall
|Simon Whitlock
|Michael van Gerwen
|James Wade
The semi-finals will follow the same format as the quarter-finals (best of 19, first to 10 legs wins), the format regular followers of darts are familiar with. Van Gerwen and Wade put together the most complete performances of the first round, and they'll meet in a semi-final for the ages.
Whitlock knows he can't afford to make too many mistakes on the checkout against the dangerous Chisnall, who doesn't need to hit triple-digit averages to find ways to win matches.
The 2014 Singapore Darts Masters will continue on Sunday.

(English) Tarot T-2D gimbal configuration for pitch controll on a DJI Phantom
171 Comments. Leave your Comment right now:
where do you get the software for the gimbal?
the new version of the software, v1.3 let you change to stick mod within software
Does the entire sweep range of the knob work? I made this mod and have it set to 0-90 deg like you, but the first 1/4 turn of the knob does nothing…. it has a deadzone.
Mathias: Do all three wires still need to be hooked up if the firmware if up to 1.3 on the gimbal? I've read mixed things on this given that there is a stick mode option in the 1.3fw upgrade.
Thank you.
Hello Mathias,
First of all, enjoy your vacations 😉 …then big thanks for this tutorial and the time you needed to make it.I'm 100% newbie and just get my Phantom 1 month ago…i would like to buy a Tarot T-2D TL68A00 like you, but i'm afraid that i won't be able to install it an program it ): I've searched around during many hours i found no tutorial about that.What i mean is a tutorial from scratch to install it on the Phantom…May i ask you, if you know one ? or if you planned to make your own when you will be back ? Thank you so so much…Fabien from France
So you were able to power the gopro directly using the bottom two right pins?
Thank you so so much for your time and your great explanation.I read inside your mind where you wasn't here…i bought a plate from ebay to install the gimbal more easily.
BTW…i was more afraid about the connection to my FUtaba t8j…some people are connecting it through the RX and others to the Naza…i am lost…all i would like to do is the best smooth gimbal that it is possible…this is why i though it was a good idea to connect the "R" roll…that some people use from their stick…but once again, is it connected to the Naza or to the RX to do that ??? arggg
Im thinking of getting one myself, one question: where did you order it? I live in switzerland too 🙂
Thank you very much for your fantastic blog! I strictly followed your instructions and it worked out of the box! There was no need to touch the Tarot software. All settings can be adjusted in the Nazam software and it works 😉
So i just assembled my Tarot and powered it up with the battery connected to my Phantom. I don't have any other connections made to anything else, and when it powers up a yellow solid line comes up, but the gimbal itself stays off. Do i need to do a firmware update or plug any cables to the Naza?
I have updated to the latest firmware and am only using 2 wires from gimbal to naza (I read this some where) but my gimbal won't tilt down past -78 ish degrees…help!? 🙁
I have managed to get my pitch working for the dji phantom using the tarot gimbal. However recently it stopped working. If I connect a 3S supply to the gimbal no lights turn on at all. If I connect BOTH the 3S power supply to the gimbal and also connect the pins on the gimbal control board to the naza in the Phantom and power on the phantom, only then does the lights on the gimbal turn on.
I do get the initilization light and then get a blinking blue light with a solid green light. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem because the gimbal isn't moving.
I have looked at the manual and it says a solid green light is over current problem but I am still using the exact same setup and 3S supply as before. Its says after troubleshooting, reapply power can recover. Does anyone know what the troublshooting procedure is?
I will really really appreciate a reply.
Hi can someone tell me where to buy the "plate" to use with Tarot gimbal on DJI Phantom… any help from you all is most appreciated.
Great resource, Mathias!
Can you talk briefly about how to supply power to the Tarot from the Phantom? Are you powering from a separate battery or drawing from the Phantom?
From a weight/flight time perspective, is one option better than the other? I
Hi, thanks for for your help here. If possible, can you post a Pic of your Settings of the Tarot Gimbal Control? My Gimbal was working fine out of the box, but since i have it mounted and wired on my DJI Phantom it holds position for a few seconds, but then tilts out all the time when moving the Phantom just a little, not even speaking of flying it. I played around with settings in both, Naza & Gimbal, but the behavior does not disappear. Can it be a bad wiring or soldering? I am using the Batteries Balance plug to power the Gimbal, might this have been a bad idea? If you have any tip or idea would be sooo appreciated!
Thanks i advance.
Thank you! couldn't have done it without your great info.Dennis
I fixed mine and it was that the motors where wired backwards…. also So my Tarot came without the red/white cable to control the pitch… i been trying to find where to buy it but no luck yet…. any suggestions…
Hi there, my tarot didn't came with the cables for pitch control, any idea where could i get some? thanks.
Hi guys!
There is anyone having problems with the gimbal loosing the roll level?!
With me it happens all the time… and happens even with the multirotor off, just gimbal powered if I rotate the multirotor the roll level goes off to the left or right.
Great post by the way!
Can you hook the Gopro AV cable for Tarot 2D gimbal to the Tarot 2D board power supply to charge the Gopro Hero 3. As indicted in picture above. P + – "Ready for GoPro 5 volt power supply.
its great its work ! thanks !
I am waiting for the Tarot to arrive and getting ready to mount it
May you please tell me if you got the upgrade board to get pitch control and if your firmware is still 3.16?
Thanks a lot for the video
I had a problem with my gimbal but donno whether its normal and need your help pls. I follow through all your setup and settings. ( Tarot gimbal setting was load as default ) When it roll to the right end ( gopro facing myself ) it powered off but i can see the pcb blue led still blinking. Left dont have any issue.
What happened ? pls help
I hope it will work for me to.
But how is the conection in the radio whid the potentiometer??
Hi and thanx for sharing yout settings.
Could you please share your settings in the Gimbal Calibration tool (Tarot-Software) as well. I have some difficulties with vibrations of the gimbal motors wich are too strong not to be seen on video. I realized that different gains have an effect on those vibrations. What are the best settings using the Tarot Software.
Thx so much
Thank you for your answer. Since I bought a used one I do not know the default settings. And when I got the gimbal it was shaking and vibrating. I did some calibrating wich lead to a good result. Can you tell me the default numbers for all 4 tilt gains, all 4 roll gains, and the motor power settings. If not – no problem, I was just curious, because I heard that the gimbal works best right out of the box …
Awesome. Just what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. One question. Im a noobie at this and what do you need for your connection on your Tx?
Sweet. Thanks. So a linear potentiometer. Cool. ill give it a stab. Like I said im a newbie so not sure how to do it but this helps. Is there anything else I need to connect to it or buy?
where do you connect it to the Tx?
Cooler Clip! Von welcher Band ist denn die Musik? Shazam erkennt den Song leider nicht …
Thanks for the useful info
Do you not need to connect the 'Roll' pin to anything on the gimbal?
HI Mathias
Yes I mean chanel 7
Do you have some picture or something at how I connect the potetiometr i dji radio.
HI Mathias
Kan du svenska???
Thank you so much Mathias I will lock at that video and mountit in my radio I hope it works
Thank you
Whenever I turn on gimbal in the naza software, the gimbal does not maintain pitch control. Manual pitch control works to set the pitch, but when I start moving my my DJI Pantom, it does not maintain the initial position. It works perfectly when gimbal is turned on naza software. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks.
No. When I stop turning the pot, the gimbal stops. I just identified & fixed the problem. I had the gain set too high in the naza software. After adjusting it to zero (0) as shown above, everything works fine now. Thanks!
Got my Tarot BL Gimbal today.
I´ve searched for some good manual since 2 weeks an finally I found it on your website.
Nowhere I was able to find out how I have to plug the Naza to the board so I am able to use the mounted shift-lever on mx Phantom-TX.
On your website I did.
…and all the tricks too (cheap spacer, postionmode,..)
Thank you very much for this blog!
All the Best from Austria
Hi, i have roll drift issue…i connect everything good and its work good , but if when i use yaw (in flight and at home) the roll drift on the left and on the right…i put i little level downside of gopro…and for lelelling correct the gimbal i make some yaw rotation to level the gimbal correctly. for this reason i connet the naza roll output on gimbal ,but nothing happen…my mind think that this connection override the gyro of tarot…can you have the solution for this issue? ps the tarot have the factor pid and the wires not does friction.bye
Tarot gimbal was perfect your settings default. did naza settings for position mode 5k pot 1/4 turn to rt face down.worked perfect until put in new naza v2 software/firmware 4.0/2.18 Now turn pot. gimbal goes in out of control . Rt on pot nothing. left on pot goes back to looking behind copter! Thanks it was perfect before new software. Have a good day.Dennis Thanks
RE-set your parameters for naza /nothing on tarot left alone thanks.Couldnt of did position wires w/o ur photos
Thanks for ur fast response! Fixed tilt by calibrating x1 potentiometer, missed that.Works great thanks! Dennis
Can you explain how you connect the kob inside the transmitter?
Thank you so much!!!! I am sending you some Karma today.
Thank you four tue tutorial, perfekt work.
My Problem is, that i can not make a Connection anymore from the tarrot gimbal to the Computer.
The gimbal works fine, but in rate-Mode..
Now my question: can i change the mode via the naza? The cable from F1 to C should be good for something, i think?
Thank you ans greez
Hallo again
The Problem is solved. The Setup in The naza-software was not writen to The Phantom. I made a new Setup, now the gimbal works korrectli.
Hi there,
I have my angle limits set to 0 and -90 and I can use a switch on my futaba to flick between the 2 positions and it works fine, but I want to change it to -20 and -90 so the camera goes between tilted down slightly and straight down. However it doesn't seem like the ZYX-BMGC-EN software will let me enter a negative value for the maximum angle limit, if I try to set the angle to negative it just resets to zero. Have you tried this? Any solutions?
I just got my gimbal Today . I wanted too say thanks in advance . Do I need to have the gopro to build it . And should I upgrade my phantom first ?
Pingback: DJI Phantom Review - Pagina 41 - Modelbouwforum.nl
just received my Tarot 2D gimbal for my DJI Phantom today. I followed the instructions on both the pamphlet that was included and reviewed instructions by other people on youtube. When I connect the power both the green and yellow light come on. The green flashes 3 times and stops. The yellow stays solid and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I've tried switching the cables around and the results remain the same. Any additional assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I want to extend my landing gear as yours, but i wonder whats size of the screw and what length is recomended?
I have nothing to measure it with, so i was hoping you could tell me, so that i can order from ebay.
when i power my gopro direct from the tarot board, the chips get hot and it seems it won't boot so quick (sometimes not at all) as without powering the gopro. Does anybody experience the same? Is there a signal where i can get 5v from within the phantom?
Also: my x1 channel did not work out of the box, i had to update the firmware of the remote (good thread here: http://www.djiguys.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2128&hilit=x1+phantom+remote)
And just to let you know: the newest tarot ships with a new plastic mount that puts the buffer rubbers aside the battery cage, so you don;t have to extend your landing gear as much
Mathias, you are doing us all a huge favor and service taking so much of your time to answer and problem solve
My Tarot works fine for gimbal services out the box and I've gotten some very fun video but, I have been struggling with getting pitch control to work.
Thanks to your blog here I may have the solution.
Keep you posted
Anyone that might have a solution to my problem?
I am running V1.4 software and have selected Position mode, hit enter and written settings to flash. Every time I re-open the software it says I'm in position mode, but it's behaving like it's in rate mode. Also in the MODE 1 and MODE 2 boxes, the MODE 1 box is always darkened after I hook the gimbal up to the software, which makes me think that it's stuck in rate mode. Anyone having a similar issue or know how to get the MODE 2 box selected? I'm running a Phantom with stock transmitter so can't use a button to switch it over
Yes I have, it was working fine for the first 2 days then it suddenly started acting strangely – I didn't even hook it up to a computer. It worked fine, I put it in it's box, and the next time I got it out its started acting strange, and has been ever since….
Out of interest, if I removed the cable going from C to F1 would that mean only rate mode works? If you think so I can check that cable is not loose, but would rather get your opinion before I pull it all apart!
Thanks for your help!
No NAZA firmware update. Yes the pot is correct, have used the recommended specs. It's strange as when I check the X1 in NAZA or tilt readings in Tarot software, it shows the number stop as I stop turning the knob, so it seems that the knob is fine and the software is understanding that it's stopped, yet the gimbal keeps turning
Haha, OK will do some cutting and snipping and see what happens, will report back on here if I find any success! Thanks for the blog – very helpful
My Tarot works perfectly, thanks to you and a little pitch control thingy I bought from maikelsdesign at shapeways.com.
The question of the power pins to the GoPro came up a few times before on this thread. My question is about powering the Hero3 Black directly from the Tarot board. Some forums say not to do it, because the charging camera draws too much current for the board to handle, up to 1A. I would like to hear your opinion on this.
What if the battery is already charged?
Hi Mathias. Not sure if you want to add this note to your original instructions at the top or not :).
I've solved my problem having the gimbal stuck in rate mode.
If your running software version 1.3 or above, you may well need to remove the C to F1 wire. After upgrading it seemed that no matter what setting I tried in Tarot software or Naza software, the tilt would work in Rate mode.
After removing the F1 wire described above from Naza the gimbal can now be used in EITHER rate or positional mode.
That is very strange. It was working fine in 1.3. Then by itself overnight it only worked in Rate mode on 1.3. Removed the cable and it immediately worked in position mode on 1.3. Upgraded to 1.4 and same deal – positional mode would only work with that cable removed. I've heard 1 or 2 others online with the same problem – odd that it's random!
Ok , can you help me understand how you hook up the wire's f2and f2- from the gimbal to NAZA. Do I tape them ? Or cur my servos ?
Thanks I understand . Now , wow I've learned so much on this blog . Kids should be reading this .
Well I finally go the Tarot operational with the stock TX that came with the Phantom.
I have T on Tarot card connected to top F2 in phantom and negative to negative.
Did not hook up C. I have the Tarot set on Position, not Rate.
Up until now, the camera would only look up and level at horizon; not down. I was really stuck!
Finally I discovered you have to calibrate X1 in the Naza software. That did the trick! YEESSSS!!
I have Tarot tilt parameters at +1 and -100 degrees so the camera limits at horizon but can look all the way down.
Can't wait to try it out
I am using a MaikelsDesign lever on back of the TX. Works pretty well for $7.00
Much needed Blog Mathias, thanks. I just got the late Phantom with a Tilt lever on the back of TX. It turns a tiny potentiometer less than a quarter turn on the circuit board. I followed your instructions and was able to power Tarot using Phantom Aux cables and used two cables for naza-tarotboard as this Phantom is new but no response from tilt. Do I have to replace the original lever with a potentiometer that has a knob? Does someone uses this new Phantom lever for Tarot?
I was able to get Tarot to move using the lever in the control but it went all the way up and I was not able to make camera to look down even if I turned lever back to where it was.
Please help!
Followed David calibration and and was able to move Tarot tilt all the way down and then vack to horizontal but camera starts to bounce up and down. Question is: Where is the Position, not rate button? Is it in Naza? I have no Tarot software. Is it there?
Ok, so in Tarot software I will find the "Position" option, wright?
My new PC has Windows 8, that´s why I cannot install Tarot software, oh well…
I use a piece of wood on the back of camera and a zip tie to make it "look" down as Tarot puts camera facing horizon.
Will look for a PC with old Windows so I can program Tarot to "Position" mode. As it is now it sucks: camera bounces like crazy when moving up.
Can someone tell me where is the "Rate Mode" and "Position Mode" option?
I want to make lever to move camera and stay with lever, not keep moving.
I was not able to find "Rate mode" or "Position mode" option in neither Tarot software and NAZA software… I am almost there!
Ok, seems like in Tarot software MODE 2 is actually what you call "position mode" and MODE 1 is "Rate mode".
Hi everybody , I have a ? for those who used the adaptor boards . Do you have too provide your own screws too mount the post for the gimbal ?
Regarding the motor "bounce back" effect; I found that you really have to be patient and play around with the PID settings. Here's link to PDF: http://www.chiefaircraft.com/pdf/TarotManual.pdf.
After loading up the camera with a Simensays housing and a ND filter plus additional wiring for an FPV; the Tilt motor would start bucking when I had it faced down towards the ground at close to limit position of 110 degrees. The solution was to go into the Motor configuration window and ramp up the Tilt power from 35 to 50%
That did the trick.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Great info here! Thank you! Do you know if the T-2D works with the GoPro 3+ also?
Hi Mathias, I been searching for help since so so long. I didn't find and what ever found didn't help me. so I was going to see if you are familiar with this problem. sadly since I bought it I haven't been able to make it work which is since November 🙁
Here I have the link to my video. Would be great if there is some solution to it.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Mathias, I got the same problem of Anup since i upgrade the firmware to 1.4. The gimbal get crazy. Any help?
I fix it!! Have to calibrate sensors correctly. The thing is that I don't know how to do it. Have to put the gimbal sensor on a flat surface(connected to the software with the motor off) and then click calibrate sensors button, and that's it. Here a video that found that show how to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0PU0osCE4o
The only thing is that i can't set up the pitch control. I have a DJI Phantom, put the white cable from "P"of the gimbal board and the black cable from (-) from the gimbal board to the F2 of my phantom receiver or white and red NAZA box with the white cable down and the black up. I turn on the gimbal settings in the naza software and nothing. I install the pitch lever in the F2 control in the remote control, nothing happen. Any idea or missing
Mathias, thanks for quick answer! I put your parameters, the only doubt is the frequency. In your photo you have 400hz. Its that correct? What else i have to do?
But its all set. I don't understand whats wrong? There's no pitch lever calibration or setting. Not working.
In the tab RC of the BASIC menu doesn't appear the pitch lever calibration, i only have the Command Stick Calibration and X1 calibration. See the snapshot in this link: http://elcuervofilms.com/Images/naza.jpg
I saw in a calibration tutorial that the pitch control is X1, but when i tried to calibrate doesn't move when i hit the lever.
Now i'm in trouble. Trying to make the X1 nob work, i upgraded the RC with a firmware of the phantom 2 RC. Now the RC doesn't work, when i do the power cycle the RC led turn green and then red with one second beep and then turn off. Neither Phantom and software assistant see it or connect it. Any idea.
I Installed the Phantom 2 RC firmware with the Phantom 2 RC Assistant, darm it.
Thanks for the link, i downloaded the correct phantom rc assistant it not working cause didn't connect, but when turn it into loader mode(i learned that with the wrong assistant) the RC connect but says that firmware is 0.0.0.0 , no updates and Loader:184.108.40.206 Thats it, no control, nothing. Any other idea.
And the assistant when i connect it in "loader mode" don't let me upgrade or degrade the rc, maybe because i installed a higher o different firmware. I really dont know.
Thank you Matias and Fran, I saw this video long ago and this didn't work for me.
I also did the cable check several time and I am sure it is correctly inserted.
I am giving up on this one 🙁 Now i have no gopro3 to try it on so I am going to have to wait for another 2 weeks until i have new go pro.
What else could have gone wrong? motor? the board?
Is it really time to take it to gimbal gig repairing center?
Thank you for taking your time.
Best for now
Hello, thank you for your article.
I have a little question, like seen in your video when you stops the pot the gimbal also stops
When I move my pot meter 10° de gimbal goes up or down but didn't stop. I need to put the pot meter again on 0.
How and where can i change it? it was also the same with the default pot meter.
Thanks and best regards
Dear Mathias, thanks a lot for your article!
I'd like to know how you distribute the power for your FPV Sender, Gimbal & GoPro.
You mentioned using the power cable in the leg of the Phantom. So your set-up is Power Cable -> Gimbal Board -> GoPro. Where is the FPV sender getting his power from? I am thinking about getting one as well..
Best regards
Cool thanks, that makes sense. Kind of funny, I've ben searching for hours on english forums and all the good info is here on a swiss blog (I'm swiss, too) 🙂
Hello. I've searched this forum and can't seem to find a definitive answer, however, I've seen different wiring configurations for tilt control on the phantom some with 3 wires and others with 2 after the tarot 1.4 upgrade. I have wired it both ways but now have T wired to bottom F2 and (-) wired to top F2. I have the gimbal turned on in the Naza software however the pitch control lever in the back of the stock TX is unresponsive despite appearing to be properly seated. Nothing in my Naza software seems to confirm that the lever is even installed. What am I doing wrong?
I input all of your values under the gimbal tab and working the lever doesn't appear to have any affect on the gimbal. I've seen lots of posts of pots and soldering inside the TX but wasn't the lever (essentially a screwdriver) supposed to eliminate all of that?
Like this?
Great blog and thanks for the wealth of knowledge here. I just got the Tarot V2 and Phantom 1. I am using the Tarot XYZ software to see the board when USB is connected to the Gimbal Control Connector (and able to see orientation – the animation correlates with gimbal position), but it does NOT see the motor when USB is connected to the Motor Driver Connector for Motor Calibration. I think there is no voltage going to the motor. But the motor is able to relay the coordinates back to the software. Does this mean I have a bad board? ( I am using the 3cell lipo for power – and I am very careful and never mixed up +- polarity and there is only one Com Port to connect – but it does not)
With your settings I'm only able to get a range from center to far right on my x1 calibration. In addition my gimbal will only look forward or pitch up. Any ideas?
By the way, I have found several threads regarding x1 pots that are crushed when the transmitter housing is closed, which reduces contact with the lever arm. I'm afraid to keep prying it from the board or pushing it with a screwdriver (found on YouTube). Any solution for that, while I've got you?
Thnx for the instructions, works perfect.
Only i go now from 10 min flight time to 4 min, is this normal that the gimbal is using so much power?
I have but one question. I am seeing in several internet posts that show the servo cable going to the receiver. Yours says plug to the Flight Controller. What makes the difference? I am very frustrated with roughly 6 hours banging my head against the wall. I have a Naza M V2, Spektrum AR9020, Tarot T-2d. Please reply.
I followed the instructions and the gimball moved a little, like 10 degrees. lately it stopped moving and I don't have any idea of what's happening. Can you help me?
Thanx for the repy,
problem is solved, i change the power from the fpv transmitter with the gimbal, and now i have a flight time of 8 min.
Wierd, but hey, im happy:)
I am using tarot for a month and everything works great. Yestarday the tarot are crazy. I did the calibrate sensors more than 100 times. When i pull the t-2d to go down its going and be crazy again.
I really need help. Whats going on?
After everything installed and configured, the control does not move the Phantom gimbal. What am I doing wrong?
PS. Have I enabled the gimbal by Assistant NAZA end calibration x1.
During calibration values move correctly.
Everything is updated correctly.
Setting the wrong gimbal can cause this?
i want to power the tarot gimbal from my gopro. i have the video/charger cable but dont know which set of pins to plug into… ctr, s+-, or p+-. could you please help out!
Yesterday checked everything again and saw that he had plugged the wrong cables. I watched a video that taught me wrong.
Thanks for the help and photos.
Please, If you are going to write technical material, pass a study course in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
It will make you a lot more credible to your readers.
That could be easily done, as I am a retired technical writer.
Maybe we could form a team.
Hello, I just buy a tarot T2-D V2 to use on my phantom 2 and I am very satisfied with the product, I use a knob to set the tilt of the camera but when I switch to Stick Position Mode in Attitude monitor mode appears only – 45 degrees is my limit this minimum angle set to -90 degrees, I wonder why this limitation so happens that in this mode, when I change the angle of the camera to approximately -30 and lean the aircraft camera moves not keeping the previous angle -30 degrees, can you help me?
It's really a nice and useful piece of info. I'm satisfied that
you just shared this useful information with us. Please keep us informed like this.
Thank you for sharing.
Very neat article post. Much thanks again. Much obliged.
Enjoyed examining this, very good stuff, thankyou. Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Great information!
Thank you for sharing, after reading it I was able to understand how to properly setup my gimbal.
How should I connect the gimbal to the power supply? I would prefer a temporary and/or removable connection, rather than soldering the power supply wires to my Phantom 1.
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different page and thought I may as well
check things out. I like what I see so now i am
following you. Look forward to looking at your web page for a second time.
Awesome blog. Very helpful in setting up my Tarot!

GaP-nucleation on exact Si (0 0 1) substrates for III/V device integrationKerstin Volz | Andreas Beyer | Wiebke Witte | Jens Ohlmann | Igor Nmeth | Bernardette Kunert | Wolfgang Stolz
Volume 315, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 37-47
This paper summarizes our present knowledge of the defect-free nucleation of III/V semiconductors on exactly oriented Si (0 0 1) surfaces. A defect-free III/V nucleation layer on Si (0 0 1) substrates is important for integrating optoelectronic functions on Si substrates, like III/V-based lasers and solar cells as well as high-mobility III/V-n-channel layers. For applications which rely on CMOS processing and devices, one should choose (0 0 1) Si substrates with no intentional off-cut (exactly oriented ±0.5°). Under high hydrogen pressures and at high annealing temperature, one can maximize the number of double steps even on this Si surface under vapour phase epitaxy (VPE) conditions. A GaP layer free from dislocations, stacking faults, twins and/or antiphase disorder can be grown on a Si homoepitaxial buffer by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) in a two step process. We show that a thin and low temperature GaP nucleation layer has to be deposited in flow rate modulated growth mode to achieve a charge neutral interface and two-dimensional growth. A GaP layer grown at high temperature on this nucleation layer results in self-annihilation of the remaining antiphase domains. This defect-free GaP layer with a total thickness of only about 50 nm can serve as a template for subsequent integration of III/V device structures on Si (0 0 1) substrates. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

2inch size Ce:Gd 3Al 2Ga 3O 12 (Ce:GAGG) single crystals were grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method using [100] oriented seed. The crystals were up to 120 mm in length and 50 mm in diameter were achieved and had no cracks. Luminescence and scintillation properties were measured. In order to determine light yield, the energy spectra were collected under 662 keV γ-ray excitation ( 137Cs source) were detected by a with avalanche photodiode (APD) S8664-55(Hamamatsu).The light yield of CeGAGG sample was calibrated from 55Fe direct irradiation peak to APD. The light yield was around 46,000 photon/MeV. Energy resolution was 4.9%@662 keV for 5×5×1 mm sample. The theoretical density of CeGAGG is 6.63 g/cm 3. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
A mild solvothermal route to kesterite quaternary CuM. Cao | Y. Shen
2ZnSnS 4 nanoparticles
Volume 318, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 1117-1120
Quaternary kesterite-type Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles for low-cost thin film solar cell were successfully synthesised using a relatively simple and convenient solvothermal route. Nanoparticles with diameters of about 510 nm were obtained at the temperature of 180 °C, analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphologies of the continuous CZTS films with satisfactory stoichiometry were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA). The crystallinity of CZTS nanoparticles was greatly improved by annealing in H2S (5%)/Ar mixed gases analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). High-resolution X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the four constituent elements confirmed the purity and composition of CZTS nanoparticles. UVvis absorption spectra measurement indicated that the band gap of as-synthesised CZTS nanoparticles was about 1.5 eV, which was near the optimum value for photovoltaic solar conversion in a single-band-gap device. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Growth of type II strained layer superlattice, bulk InAs and GaSb materials for minority lifetime characterizationS. P. Svensson | D. Donetsky | D. Wang | H. Hier | F. J. Crowne | G. Belenky
Volume 334, Issue 1, November 2011, Pages 103-107
We have examined the growth of strained layer superlattice (SLS) structures for the purpose of characterizing and improving the minority carrier lifetime. Structures with different SL periods but with same absorption wavelength were first studied. Despite a doubling of the number of interfaces per thickness unit, no significant change was seen in the carrier lifetime. This observation points away from the interfaces as the location of lifetime limiting defect centers. To gain further insights into the spatial location of the defect centers, a series of binary InAs and GaSb layers grown with different substrate temperatures, were studied. We found that higher growth temperatures were beneficial for both binaries, although the improvement for GaSb was less than that of InAs. The substrate temperature was also varied in SLS structures and characterized with high-resolution x-ray diffraction. By using the peak width from the SLS zero-order diffraction as a figure of merit, we found a shallow growth window of ∼±20° around an optimum temperature of 440 °C. Outside this temperature window the material quality deteriorated very rapidly. Unfortunately, the substrate temperatures that would provide an improvement in the binary lifetimes fall mainly above the SLS growth window, thus limiting this parameter as a means of improving lifetimes in the SLS. A model that qualitatively relates bulk and SLS lifetimes through native defects is proposed and strategies for improving the lifetimes are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Directional solidification (DS) has become the major process for growing multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) for solar cells in the photovoltaic industry. The control of grains, as well as the grain boundaries, is particularly important to the crystal quality, and thus the solar cell efficiency. In this paper, we review the progress in the grain control of DS mc-Si from lab-scale to industrial-scale experiments. The control of the growth front was found effective in improving the grain size, but the grain size was found decreased with growth due to the sub-grain formation. With a better control of nucleation and grain competition by increasing the undercooling through enhanced uniform or spot cooling, grains with more Σ3 or twin boundaries were obtained. As the grain size increased with height, the growth of dislocations was found much slower than that without grain growth. The conversion efficiency of the solar cells fabricated from the wafers with grain control was significantly improved. Moreover, the seeded growth was also discussed. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Investigation of grain boundaries in BaSi 2 epitaxial films on Si(1 1 1) substrates using transmission electron microscopy and electron-beam-induced current techniqueMasakazu Baba | Katsuaki Toh | Kaoru Toko | Noriyuki Saito | Noriko Yoshizawa | Karolin Jiptner | Takashi Sekiguchi | Kosuke O.

a-Axis-oriented undoped n-BaSi 2 epitaxial films were grown on Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy, and the crystalline quality and grain boundaries were investigated by means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The grain size of the BaSi 2 films was estimated to be approximately 0.1-0.3 μm, and straight grain boundaries (GBs) were observed in the plan-view TEM images. Dark-field TEM images under a two-beam diffraction condition showed that these GBs consist mostly of BaSi 2 {011} planes. The diffusion length of minority carriers in n-BaSi 2 was found to be approximately 10 μm by an electron-beam-induced current technique. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Epitaxial growth and thermal stability of Ge1-xSnx alloys on Ge-buffered Si(0 0 1) substratesShaojian Su | Wei Wang | Buwen Cheng | Guangze Zhang | Weixuan Hu | Chunlai Xue | Yuhua Zuo | Qiming Wang

Single-crystal Ge1-xSnx alloys (x=0.025, 0.052, and 0.078) with diamond cubic structure have been grown on Si(0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), using high-quality Ge thin films as buffer layers. The Ge1-xSnx alloys are nearly fully strained and have high crystalline quality without Sn surface segregation, revealed by the measurements of high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD), Rutherford backscattering spectra (RBS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, thermal stability investigations show that the alloy with Sn composition of about 2.5% can be stable at 500 °C, which may enable it for device applications. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Kinetically limited growth of GaAsBi by molecular-beam epitaxyA. J. Ptak | R. France | D. A. Beaton | K. Alberi | J. Simon | A. Mascarenhas | C. S. Jiang
Volume 338, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 107-110
The growth of GaAsBi alloys is plagued by the appearance of Bi droplets due to excess Bi that accumulates during growth. Here we present an alternate growth regime that kinetically limits the amount of Bi on the surface, eliminating Bi droplets for a wide range of Bi compositions, while yielding atomically smooth surfaces. Growth rate plays a major role in the amount of Bi that accumulates on the surface, with high growth rates and low Bi fluxes leading to less surface Bi. A balance can be achieved between low Bi coverage, the resultant rough surfaces, and the excessive Bi coverage that leads to Bi droplets. Bi incorporation in this growth regime is linear with Bi flux and scales inversely with growth rate. Unlike previous studies, there is no sign of saturating Bi incorporation with increasing Bi flux, allowing for intuitive prediction and control of Bi content in this regime. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Photoluminescence and structural properties of Ca3Y(VO 4)3:RE3 (=Sm3, Ho3 and Tm3) powder phosphors for tri-colorsVengala Rao Bandi | Bhaskar Kumar Grandhe | M. Jayasimhadri | Kiwan Jang | Ho Sueb Lee | Soung Soo Yi | Jung Hyun Jeong

An effort has been made in this paper to investigate a newly developed optical material, namely calcium yttrium vanadate Ca3Y(VO 4)3 (CYV) phosphor, in three different combinations such as CYV:Sm, CYV:Ho and CYV:Tm in order to identify red, green and blue (tri)colors, respectively. These rare-earth (RE) doped vanadate based phosphors were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The emission spectrum of CYV:Sm has shown an intense reddish orange emission transition 4G 5/26H7/2 at 602 nm with λex= 305 nm, a green emission transition 5S25I 8 at 545 nm with λex=305 nm for CYV:Ho phosphor, and for CYV:Tm phosphor, an intense blue emission transition 1G 43H6 at 476 nm with λex=305 nm has been observed. Emission performances of these phosphors have been explained in terms of energy level diagrams. Besides the measurement of the photoluminescence (PL) of these phosphors, their nature and structural details have also been investigated from X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) studies. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Selective-area growth of thin GaN nanowires by MOCVDKihyun Choi | Munetaka Arita | Yasuhiko Arakawa
Volume 357, Issue 1, October 2012, Pages 58-61
We report the selective-area growth (SAG) of Ga-polar thin GaN nanowires on patterned GaN/sapphire (0001) substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with a continuous gas supply. It has been found that the anisotropy in the growth rates of the (0001) and the {1-100} facets of GaN reaches a maximum at low precursor flow rates for both Ga source and NH 3. It has also been revealed that the SAG efficiency which is dependent on pattern fill-factor should be properly taken into account in order to grow thin GaN nanowires. Based on these findings, we demonstrate the growth of GaN nanowires with a diameter of 50 nm, which is the smallest reported so far by selective-area MOCVD. Optical properties of a single GaN nanowire have been investigated by low temperature micro-photoluminescence. It has been shown that an appropriate shell layer is effective to considerably improve the properties, suggesting the importance of controlling surface states. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The influence of the substrate temperature, III/V flux ratio, and mask geometry on the selective area growth of GaN nanocolumns is investigated. For a given set of growth conditions, the mask design (diameter and pitch of the nanoholes) is found to be crucial to achieve selective growth within the nanoholes. The local III/V flux ratio within these nanoholes is a key factor that can be tuned, either by modifying the growth conditions or the mask geometry. On the other hand, some specific growth conditions may lead to selective growth but not be suitable for subsequent vertical growth. With optimized conditions, ordered GaN nanocolumns can be grown with a wide variety of diameters. In this work, ordered GaN nanocolumns with diameter as small as 50 nm are shown. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
MBE grown Ga2O3 and its power device applicationsKohei Sasaki | Masataka Higashiwaki | Akito Kuramata | Takekazu Masui | Shigenobu Yamakoshi

N-type gallium oxide (Ga2O3) homoepitaxial thick films were grown on β-Ga2O3 (010) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The epitaxial growth rate was increased by more than 10 times by changing from the (100) plane to the (010) plane. The carrier concentration of the epitaxial layers could be varied within the range of 1016-1019 cm-3 by changing the Sn doping concentration. Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) and metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) on β-Ga2O3 homoepitaxial layers were demonstrated for the first time. The SBDs exhibited good device characteristics such as an ideality factor of 1.13, and high breakdown voltage about 125 V. The MESFETs also exhibited excellent characteristics such as a perfect pinch-off of the drain current, off-state breakdown voltage over 250 V, high on/off drain current ratio of around 10 4, and small gate leakage current. These device characteristics clearly indicate the great potential of Ga2O3 as a high-power device material. © 2013 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

Rubidium neodymium dimolybdate, RbNd(MoO4)2, microcrystals have been fabricated by solid state synthesis at T=550600°C by t=324 ks. Crystal structure of RbNd(MoO4)2 has been refined by Rietveld method in space group Pbcn with cell parameters a=5.1772(1) Å, b=18.7293(4) Å, and c=8.2774(1) Å (RB=5.05%). The crystal structure of RbNd(MoO4)2 consists of layers of MoO4 tetrahedrons corner-sharing with NdO8 square antiprisms. These layers are perpendicular to b-axis of the unit cell. About 20 narrow Raman lines have been observed in Raman spectrum recorded for RbNd(MoO4)2 powder sample. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Ga-assisted MBE growth of GaAs nanowires using thin HSQ layerTorsten Rieger | Sonja Heiderich | Steffi Lenk | Mihail Ion Lepsa | Detlev Grützmacher
Volume 353, Issue 1, August 2012, Pages 39-46
We present detailed results about the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of GaAs nanowires (NWs) on GaAs (111)B substrates prepared for the growth by a new method using hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ). Before the growth, HSQ is converted to SiO x by thermal treatment. The NWs are grown via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism. The influence of five growth parameters are described: SiO x thickness, growth time, substrate temperature and Ga and As 4 beam fluxes. It is shown that the nanowire density can be tuned by two orders of magnitude by adjusting the SiO x thickness. Additionally, the results demonstrate that the axial growth is controlled by the As 4 beam flux whereas the lateral growth is controlled by the Ga beam flux. The observed NW tapering is mainly determined by the V/III beam flux ratio. Our study gives important information about the VLS growth mechanism, which is extended by considering the secondary adsorption process of Ga adatoms. The nanowires have predominantly zinc blende crystal structure with rotational twins. A wurtzite segment is always found at the top of the NWs being associated with the growth after the Ga shutter has been closed. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

High-quality and low cost bulk crystals are needed in the field of group III nitride semiconductors in order to develop optical and electrical devices. There are two approaches for the growth of bulk GaN crystal by the Na flux method. One is to grow thick GaN crystal on a large seed GaN crystal grown by vapor phase method. The other is to grow GaN crystal on a small seed GaN crystal. 3 in diameter GaN crystals were grown on the large GaN seed crystal. In the case of the growth on a small GaN seed, we obtained bulk crystal with a pyramidal shape and its height and diameter were 15 mm and >20 mm, respectively. We also present the effects of the impurity in the solution on the property and growth habit. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

XB nn mid-wave infrared (MWIR) detector arrays aimed at high operating temperature (HOT) applications, also known as barrier detectors or bariodes, are based on device elements with an InAsSb/AlSbAs heterostructure. There is no depletion layer in the narrow bandgap active layer of such devices, suppressing the usual Generation-Recombination (G-R) and Trap Assisted Tunneling (TAT) mechanisms for dark current that exist in standard narrow bandgap diodes. This yields lower dark currents in bariodes than in diodes with the same bandgap wavelength. InAsSb-bariode detectors, grown on lattice matched GaSb substrates have been shown previously to exhibit low dark current densities of ∼10 -7 A/cm 2 at 150 K. In this communication we show crystallographic and electro-optical characteristics of bariode structures grown on GaAs. Although the 7.8% mismatch causes a high density of dislocations, the devices still demonstrate electr-optical performance comparable with equivalent structures grown on GaSb, both for test devices and for focal plane array detectors (FPAs) with a 640×512 pixel format and a 15 μm pitch. This is in contrast to the behavior reported for InAsSb pin photodiodes grown on lattice mismatched substrates. The large leakage currents seen in the latter and attributed to a TAT mechanism, do not occur in the InAsSb-based bariodes grown on GaAs. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

High-quality platelet α-MoO3 single crystals with dimensions of ∼1000×200×0.4 μm3 have been grown on Si(1 0 0) substrates in quartz tube reactor in air atmosphere by sublimation of molybdenum oxide at T=660 °C. Phase composition of grown crystals has been identified by X-ray single crystal structure analysis in space group Pnma, a=13.8674(7) Å, b=3.6976(2) Å, c=3.9644(2) Å, Z=4 (R=0.0154). Polarized Raman microspectrometry has been used to describe the symmetry of vibration modes of α-MoO3 Raman spectrum. Several Raman lines as narrow as ∼2 cm-1 have been measured for α-MoO 3 crystal. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Volume 341, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 38-41
We investigated the phase diagrams of the Cu 2ZnSnS 4 (CZTS)Sn pseudobinary system in order to obtain knowledge useful for the growth of high-quality CZTS single crystals using a solution-based method. For Sn solutions saturated with less than ∼60 mol% CZTS, the solutes are separated into two phases (CZTS phaseSnS x phaseliquid phase). On the other hand, for solutions with more than 60 mol% CZTS, the solutes are single phase (CZTS phaseliquid phase). The CZTS single crystals were obtained from a 70 mol% CZTS solution (liquid temperature 850 °C) at 900 °C. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the CZTS single crystal shows preferred orientations of (112), (220) and (312) planes, confirming the Kesterite structure of CZTS. The Raman spectrum shows three peaks at 287, 338, 371 cm -1, which corresponded to CZTS peaks. The composition of the CZTS single crystal along the growth direction is found to be slightly Cu-poor, Zn-rich and S-rich. Therefore, it is assumed that the Cu vacancy is the dominant p-type conduction mechanism. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
High-quality multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) grown by directional solidification using notched cruciblesT. F. Li | K. M. Yeh | W. C. Hsu | C. W. Lan
Volume 318, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 219-223
We report on an idea for grain control during directional solidification using a crucible with notches at the bottom for mc-Si solar materials. It was observed that with a proper notch size, the initial grain competition could be controlled with a proper cooling rate. The notch could enlarge the grains induced by the spot cooling method and the grains became dominant at the later stage of solidification. Furthermore, the crystals grown from the notch showed a higher minority carrier lifetime and a larger area of twins, with a much lower dislocation density as well. The electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis for the controlled crystals further indicated that the region near the notch had almost the same {1 1 2} orientation from the notch. The proposed method can be easily implemented in commercial ingot production. © 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

2/ZnS quantum dots and its application on LED
Volume 326, Issue 1, July 2011, Pages 90-93
In this research, CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) have been studied as an excellent red emitting source for white LED because of its non-toxic deep red emission, and large Stokes shift properties. The CuInS2 QDs are synthesized by the one-pot method, which is a candidate for the mass-production method. In addition, formation of ZnS shells on QD surfaces has been conducted in order to reduce non-radiative recombination on its surface defects. The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of core/shell quantum dot show that the maximum PL wavelength blue-shifts by about 80 nm on increasing its intensity more than 6 times. Quantum yield (QY) of the CuInS2/ZnS QDs shows about 67% as the maximum value. The dispersion of the quantum dots in polystyrene, which is hydrophobic and transparent, was also conducted using co-dispersing toluene. Finally, the polystyrene/quantum dot composite was applied on blue LEDs and it showed luminous efficacy of 10.7 lm/W and (0.4338, 0.1827) CIE coordinates. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Synthesis, characterization and photoluminescence properties of Sn doped ZnO nanonailsWaleed E. Mahmoud | T. Al-Harbi
Volume 327, Issue 1, July 2011, Pages 52-56
Vertically aligned undoped ZnO nanowires and Sn doped ZnO nanonails are synthesized on a silicon substrate using vaporsolid technique, without using a catalyst or predeposited buffer layers. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized nanonails and nanowires are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results showed that the use of SnCl 2 is critical for the formation of nanonails. Without it, only ZnO nanowires can be obtained. The photoluminescence properties are also investigated at room temperature. The UV peaks of undoped ZnO nanowires and doped nanonails are located at 379.5 and 385.4 nm, respectively. This red shift of 6 nm in the Sn doped samples indicates a reduction of the ZnO band gap caused by the Sn doping. The dominance of the green emission in the nanowires sample indicates that it exhibits a much higher defect concentration than the nanonails. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Molecular beam epitaxy of BaSi 2 thin films on Si(001) substratesKatsuaki Toh | Kosuke O. Hara | Noritaka Usami | Noriyuki Saito | Noriko Yoshizawa | Kaoru Toko | Takashi Suemasu
Volume 345, Issue 1, April 2012, Pages 16-21
An attempt was made to grow BaSi 2 epitaxial films on Si(001) substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. The structure and morphology of the films were investigated using reflection high-energy electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, electron backscatter diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The BaSi 2 film grown was a-axis oriented, despite a large lattice mismatch. The measurements indicated that there are two possible epitaxial relationships of BaSi 2(100)//Si(001) with BaSi 2[010]//Si[110] and BaSi 2[001]//Si[110], due to the fourfold symmetry of Si(001). X-ray reciprocal space mapping revealed that the BaSi 2 film was almost strain-free. Plan-view transmission electron microscopy clarified the grain size and the existence of grain boundaries in the BaSi 2 film. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Mono-crystalline growth in directional solidification of silicon with different orientation and splitting of seed crystalsM. Trempa | C. Reimann | J. Friedrich | G. Müller | D. Oriwol
Volume 351, Issue 1, July 2012, Pages 131-140
This work presents the results of a systematic study of mono- and poly-crystalline grain growth in directional solidification of silicon using different kinds of seed crystals. The seed orientation was varied between 〈100〉, 〈111〉 and 〈110〉. In some experiments the seeds were split into several seed pieces. The results show that the growth of misoriented grains at the crystal periphery as well as in the gaps between split seeds depends strongly on the crystallographic orientation of the seeds. It is shown that this problem can be minimized if certain seed orientations and combinations are chosen. Generally the 〈100〉 seed orientation turns out to be most difficult with respect to mono-crystalline growth. Heterogeneous nucleation originating from the crucible walls seems to be a minor problem. © 2012 ElsevierB.V. All rights reserved.

2Te 3 films
Volume 324, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 115-118
We investigated the growth of the topological insulator Bi 2Te3 on Si(1 1 1) substrates by means of molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The substrate temperature as well as the Bi and Te beam-equivalent pressure (BEP) was varied in a large range. The structure and morphology of the layers were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The layer-by-layer growth mode with quintuple layer (QL) as an unit is accomplished on large plateaus if the MBE growth takes place in a Te overpressure. At carefully optimized MBE growth parameters, we obtained atomically smooth, single-crystal Bi 2Te3 with large area single QL covering about 75% of the layer surface. Angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy reveals a linear energy dispersion of charge carriers at the surface, evidencing topologically insulating properties of the Bi2Te3 epilayers. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Coal has afforded a wealthy rise in living standards - for the lucky countries - but now the rest of the world want the same and energy consumption is expected to more than triple towards the end of this century.
I can smell the coffee. None of our current technologies could come close to providing a practical or satisfactory solution capable of dealing with tripling the power... which really only gives us one choice and that is to do the impossible.
In 2013, Nassim Haramein published his pier reviewed paper, NEW "CONNECTED UNIVERSE" THEORY OFFERS ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION OF GRAVITY AND THE SOURCE OF MASS which states that "space" is not empty but full of energy.
The curvature of space also spins, just like water going down the kitchen sink.
Does this change the way we understand the universe and the energy that drives it?
Haramein calls a black hole a Black Whole.
And the question is... "Are we bathed in energy ready to tap?"
Mathematics as we know it today is only a tool to symbolize quantities. Vortex-Based Mathematics (VBM) is completely different because it is a dynamic math that shows the relationships and thus the qualities of numbers rather than the quantities.
As the name implies, a neutral electricity, electricity that doesn't give you a shock. Enter Neutronics Technologies who discovered Neutricity back in 1992. Is Neutricity the same energy Nassim Haramein has just discovered in 2013? It turns out probably not - but we can agree "the result is a singularity and all creation merges from it". Energy is the source of all creation.

Two officers were carrying out routine checks at an arcade in Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, late last week when they found a man playing a slot machine who was wanted under an arrest warrant.
Police said on Thursday that the 37-year-old was ordered to pay a €710 fine or face up to 71 days in prison for previously resisting arrest.
Police told the man from Bochum he faced arrest but as they were talking to him the one-armed bandit started to light up. "The face of the Bochum man also started beaming all of a sudden," police said.
The 37-year-old had won a €1,000 jackpot.
The man used his winnings to pay his fine on the spot in coins, and was spared arrest and prison.
"This happened in Bochum, not Las Vegas," police added.

As part of TriMet's crackdown on crime since December (see "The Square Dance," WW , Dec. 26, 2007), MAX fare inspectors have been applying a zero-tolerance policy against riders who fail to show proof of payment while riding MAX.
Since then, the number of riders suspended—or excluded—for failure to pay has risen 8 percent. But the initiative has upset riders who say inoperative and malfunctioning machines at MAX stops. essentially force people to ride without paying.
A recent sampling by WW found riders have reason to be ramped up: More than half of machines in one well-traveled stretch weren't working properly.
Raymond Sims, 23, rode MAX every day until he got a $94 fine for failure to show proof he'd paid his fare. Sims says all the ticket machines at his stop were broken, but the inspector wouldn't listen.
"I tried to tell him the machines were broken—he was just rude and told me to go to another machine," Sims says. "When I did that, the other machine only accepted change, but I had [paper] dollars. The MAX inspectors can be fucking Nazis."
Sims estimates that, at any one time, four out of five ticket machines in Fareless Square don't work. But TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch estimates 80 to 85 percent (or at least four out of five) of Fareless Square's machines do work, just like those located along the rest of the MAX line.
"Some of these machines are over 20 years old," she says. TriMet aims to have at least 95 percent of its ticket machines functional by March, Fetsch adds. She says the zero-tolerance policy is in effect now because TriMet is tired of people using broken machines as an excuse. TriMet says it provides real-time information to police and fare inspectors about machine outages so officers will know if a rider is fibbing.
On Tuesday, Feb. 5, I set out on a MAX machine-testing mission along a well-traveled stretch of the Blue line. I weathered a bum fight near Skidmore Fountain and a horde of mall rats storming the MAX at Lloyd Center. But most importantly, I got intimate with 31 ticket machines between Southwest Yamhill Street and Northeast 42nd Avenue.
The number of broken machines or machines that weren't user-friendly in my sample landed between TriMet's sunny assessment and Sims' gloomy one. Out of 21 machines tested between the stop at Southwest Yamhill Street and 9th Avenue and the platform at Northwest Davis Street and 1st Avenue, 12 exhibited some sort of malfunction—that's 57 percent.
The breakdown: Five were out of service, four didn't accept credit or debit cards when they should've, one sold only long-term passes, one took only credit cards or paper currency, and another took only coins.
Despite the many subpar and inoperative machines, there was at least one fully functioning machine at every stop. But using it would mean crossing the MAX tracks to the platform on the other side or waiting in long lines during peak travel.
Once I crossed the Willamette, every machine I checked worked—10 machines from the Rose Quarter Transit Center to the Northeast 42nd Avenue Transit Center. All told, 12 out of 31 machines—or 39 percent—didn't work as advertised.
So what happens when a rider can't find a functioning machine? Fetsch says the best solution is to buy tickets in advance at any one of hundreds of outlets (see trimet.org for a list of vendors). Tommy Hood, 31, doesn't buy this solution, though. He's had problems with machines that time-stamp prepaid tickets, often forcing him to jump off the train to find a working machine.
"[TriMet inspectors] have an attitude of it's not their problem that their machines don't work," Hood says, "that it's my responsibility to jump through all the hoops to validate my ticket."
TriMet fare inspectors issued 1,389 tickets, from warnings to exclusions, in January for no proof of payment. That's a 10 percent
in tickets from December, but Fetsch speculates that increased fare inspections are making riders more likely to pay in order to avoid the $94 fine.
