Wireless Joystick & Camera Gimbal

[bstott]

Question: Can a joystick control a camera gimbal using two Moteino R3 & RFM69HW tranceivers?


Self Answered: Yes, a joystick is usually two potentiometers set perpendicularly. Simply edit the code from the Pot & Servo project to work with two pots and two servo motors. You will then be able to wire up your joystick and operate a camera gimbal - wirelessly. Moteino Style!

Go to the Pot and Servo project for the code to edit to make this happen.

Sweet, looks like this could be used for a tilt/pan security camera.

Add an IMU and it could make an excellent way of controlling a gimble on a copter - or what just tickled my brain the end of a camera boom.
