Hello,
I am trying to create a robotic camera mount which can be controlled using a Google Cardboard. I have created the mount with 2 servos attached with a webcam on top to an Arduino (UNO to be exact) which works perfectly for this prototype, what I would like to get hold of is a gyroscope/orientation module which can control the two servos in the X and Y axis which just reads orientation (measure current angle) not in degrees per second.
The reason I ask is because I ordered one (the TinkerKit Gyroscope 2 Axis modules) which claimed to measure orientation but only measured motion not the angle and this has made me wary of buying some devices, I also believe that many people on this forum may know a perfect device for the job. Also I have attempted to try and find one which has a voltage of 0-5 volts dc (suitable for the Arduino) which would be perfect for this project but have had little hope. I have also got a max budget of £40, my alternative option would be to control the servos using readings from the Gyroscope from an Android device but only have 2 weeks left to complete this project.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Matthew H
(extra info: the servos run on 5 Volts dc)
