Great project, I am curious how you managed the dampening in the commands to the servo.

@piratebrine I've lost the code but it was quite simple. I had an array[20] of the ADC values for the angle. Sorted it and averaged items 5-15 which did a good job of removing any noise as it would normally fall to the bounds of the array.

@CrispinProctor69 What is 'ADC' ? What was your angle sensor?

@piratebrine

I think I used this one: Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - ADXL335

ADC = Analogue to Digital Converter. It is internal to the Arduino.

Where did u get your servos?? I'm building a similar project

Just got old ones off fleabay. Think I got 12 for about £5. Bargain ;)

You can mod them to rotate continuously. Google is your friend on that one

would you mind posting the code? thanks
