Using Xbox & Playstation Controller to Operate DJI Ronin S / SC Gimbal

Control Your Ronin With the Xbox & Playstation Joystick

Some of you may not know, but the latest Firmware for DJI Ronin S and SC allows an operator to use Game Console Joystick to control the gimbal. In my case, I am using an Xbox One Controller I purchased from Amazon a little while back. Let’s’ set things up!

Setting Things up!

The first step, of course, is to have a compatible joystick. The One I use is Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller. It works fantastic for Windows 10 and I didn’t have any issues connecting it to PC and my iPhone, so if you are a gamer, it’s a very awesome controller.

Xbox One Controller

Once you got the joystick with the fresh batteries, push and hold the Xbox Logo to turn it on. Same for Playstation one.

The next step is to enable the Bluetooth on your phone. Simple process. Go to the settings, click on Bluetooth and enable it. With joystick on and Bluetooth enabled, push and hold the “Pair” button on top of your controller for 3 seconds. It will start searching for the device. If everything is correct, you will see an Xbox controller in your device list connected.

Next step, make sure your Ronin S or Ronin SC is powered on and connected.

Open up Ronin App on your mobile device.
