[@sradhatripathy6367]

Can u plz send code link 🖇️,we really like your self calibration method,it will be helpful for us

[@armbar6761]

Link to the code isn't working

[@fernandosanchez8230]

could you pass me the code please ?

[@whatevernext1]

very helpful thank you.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Thanks!

[@coemoraes8284]

Amazing dude, really, amazing,

[@ShawneeUnion]

***** Thanks!

[@VictorGarcia-vk9fq]

I think the problem is that in your code you maybe have something like this servo_x_angle=gyro_x_angle where you should have something like this servo_x_angle=servo_x_angle+gyro_x_angle, cause in the first example it will confuse the program because if you for example tilt the gyro 20 degrees x when its over the servo the code will tilt the servo 20 degrees x but then it will read that the gyro is on 0 degrees so it will return the servo to 0 degrees instead of leaving it on 20 degrees, I dont know if Im explaining myself

[@edilsonfb]

Very good! Thanks 4 share

[@ShawneeUnion]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@edinsonhernandez9834]

good night this is a good project thank you for share, but I want to know how to invert the direction of rotation horizontal. thankyou

[@ShawneeUnion]

Edinson Hernandez I think you'd just (180- degrees). I had to invert the readings a lot and it basically came down to subtracting and adding things to 0 and 180.

Hey, I don't know either it happens to me only or with everyone, but when I connect every thing with arduino and after uploading the code, after few minutes , my one servo motor stops working. And after closing the arduino IDE, my both servo doesn't respond to the motion of MPU 6050

[@andreasryslett]

When placing the accelerometer on the assembly, accelerometer reconizes real center of rotation, but are placed offset from it, therfore confution occurs i the logick of the software. So therefore values for has to be created for the offset maybe using a virtual center of rotation vith negative values? Am I way off with this, is this something to be taken in consideration ?

[@robertoluizamorimjunior2547]

hello when I move the fast sensor, servo motor lock and does not follow the movement, and is making a noise (tec tec tec) in the servo motor, and then resetting it back to normal, you can say what can be ? I'm using servomotor Towerpro MG946R direct 5v power by the Arduino.

[@ShawneeUnion]

+Roberto Luiz Amorim Junior the code I used wasn't the most efficient and the original poster of the code changed the way it was written. If you're moving it that fast the arduino may not be able to process the data fast enough or you may be hitting the limits of the servo. I'd slow down your movements and test to see if it's the sensor, arduino or servo.

Thanks

hey what is under the dug tape ?can you write full name and where did you buy it? thanks.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Laurynas Vaitkūnas Hey I'll put up a parts list later this afternoon so you can purchase it.

[@laurynas8309]

Yeah pleace

[@laurynas8309]

Shawnee Union so...

[@jazt1828]

Which Accelerometer did you use. I may have missed this information if you said it in your video. Thanks

[@ShawneeUnion]

I got a pretty cheap 9 axis IMU off of dealextreme. This would work too www.sparkfun.com/products/13284?SparkFun+Customer+Newsletter&Aug_14thNewsletter&

[@abinayas9341]

Very very impressive!! I am trying to build a pan and tilt mount that can hold a camera weighing 250 grams. I am using arduino uno. Can you help me with the type of servos(analog/digital/micro) that would support the weight of the object ? I am having trouble choosing a servo to manage the weight and power. Thanks!

[@ShawneeUnion]

Hey, I'm not great with that. I bought a kit with two servos like the one in the video description. If you're going to buy it in pieces get a little more than you think you need in terms of power and speed. Hope that helps

[@abinayas9341]

Thank you !

[@georgemakris626]

Hi! Don't know if someone else posted this already but if you put the accelerometer on the stable part of the project i think that you would get a better range than having it on the moving arm! Or not? :)

[@ShawneeUnion]

Never thought about that but you'd be correct. Maybe the translations would change slightly.

[@lucacamphuisen3093]

Hello. Which Servo bracket did you use and which servo adapter did you use? I already have the servo motors. Thanks!

[@ShawneeUnion]

+Looka masira Can't believe I didn't put a link, I didn't really like this one in the video. This version from Adafruit will work great. Everything I have purchased from them has been legit. amzn.to/1WHjqJN

[@gyakoboandy1802]

Could you please share the code in the comment please.

[@ShawneeUnion]

+Gyakobo Andy Code is in the description and freely available from Github

[@gyakoboandy1802]

Hi +Shawnee Union thanks for the code.

[@gyakoboandy1802]

Hello.Are you using a 90 or 180 degree servo's.

[@ShawneeUnion]

+Gyakobo Andy 180 degree ones. 90 isn't enough range.

[@jedodd64]

How hard would it be to add joystick control.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Jeff Dodd Not much harder at all, are you thinking of just controlling the servos or having both servo control and balance?

[@jedodd64]

I was thinking of doing both.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Jeff Dodd it would work. Check out this video I made to get your joystick going, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWW2nKl4f86inJI

[@jedodd64]

Thanks for the link, I have the servos working on a couple of pots. I was hoping to add your stabilizer code to it. I was guessing I would have to change what the stabilizer code calls zero or home. Joystick would say move here and stabilizer would see that new location and hold that spot.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Jeff Dodd interesting. Adding a pause and start button would be my approach, you'd have to some passing of variables but it seems straightforward. Good luck

[@jdubulator]

Inertial measurement unit, not internal.

[@ShawneeUnion]

Thanks

[@ramayodhyagupta9947]

can you make it wireless

[@ShawneeUnion]

+RAM AYODHYA GUPTA yes you can

[@ddjidol]

whice port the servo connected?

[@ShawneeUnion]

ido lisha any analog port on the arduino.

[@AgneloLobo]

Hi can you help me the arduino code for this

[@ShawneeUnion]

Trial and error.

[@edzio8069]

How to connect 3 servos?

[@ShawneeUnion]

It would just be another servo connected to a 5v rail and then you'd need another digital input. I'd probably get some more current too since thats could be a big current drain (1+ amps).

[@ShawneeUnion]

ed ed I can help you but I can't hold your hand. My code is pretty clear, if you have a analog Ouput device you would need to make two changes to my code. One to assign a third analog output and then add another line to write the angles. You'll get better by figuring it out on your own.

[@edzio8069]

Shawnee Union I'm a beginner with arduino and don't know how to edit the code to run. I'll try today to change a code and see. :)

[@edzio8069]

Shawnee Union Could you check the changes? github.com/edzio1/code-3-servos/blob/master/gy_521_send_serial%20-EDIT

[@ShawneeUnion]

Great Job! That should work, I would only keep things more consistent servo 1 on pin 9 and servo 2 on pin 10 servo 3 on pin 11 to keep things straight. Good job!

[@InCog2020]

What app is that on your phone? Will I be able to find it if I search for IMU?

[@ShawneeUnion]

gmecomber I just looked. I forgot what the app is but I searched for accelerometer and it gave the best results. You want something that gives XYZ axis readings.

[@InCog2020]

Shawnee Union Thanks so much. May I also ask, do you think it would be hard to transmit the coordinates through Bluetooth to a computer or would I need to use something like Matlab?

[@ShawneeUnion]

Pretty easy, check out his product from adafruit. Hope this works for you www.adafruit.com/products/1588

[@InCog2020]

You're a great help and an inspiration. Don't be a stranger. :)

[@jakku9991]

link to code?

[@ShawneeUnion]

read description.

[@abencomo]

Very nice work! We built a similar project. However, we used an IOIO board to control the servos. Here is the preliminary result: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6GqdWqBd7JnsKM
