The Arduino uses a control technique to filter out the "noise" from the accelerometer and coupled with the gyro, is able to accurate measure the angle at which I tilt the sensor.

The servo is currently mapped to display the tilt from -90 to 90deg, however the system can actually measure the system from -180 to 180 deg.

  • awesome stuff, working on a similar project, can u give me the code?

  • Hi satyagrah4

    While building one of my project I came across a problem I can see in your code. It is called static acceleration. You can use something called a balancing filter. It is an amazing and really easy tool. You can find it online. It will make your reading more stable.

  • Hi ivan3x. I have worked both of the platforms and I can tell you that if you are just starting with C it is better to use an Arduino. It is way faster to write the code in it since you can use already built libraries. Good luck.

  • This thing that you did is half of my school project and I'm confused how to go on.. Is this Ardunio platform better than PIC contol? I was thinking about to go on with C cod on pic but I see there are lots of ardunio project with gyro, what would be your advice?? Thanks.
