Hey so I want to make a gyro stabilized platform using 3 motors. I have little experience with arduinos. Any suggestions?
I was going to use the Due with this 6DOF IMU
Any help for a noob would be fantastic.
This sounds very similar to the instrumentation/control problem of closed loop flight control systems used for drone autopilots. There are open source hardware and software solutions that provide the accel/gyro sensors needed, and the logic to handle them. A search for DIY Drones should track them down for you.
Do you have any suggestions with what board/ servo motors to go with?
For the control board, the easiest candidate would be one that your chosen flight control software supported.
Motor selection would depend entirely on what you needed the motors to do, and you haven't told us anything about the mechanical design of your system.
Do you have any suggestions with what board/ servo motors to go with?
You need to state your application before asking for application advice. Gyro ? 3-motors ? So what ? what does that tell us ?
It tells us nothing about the required response time, size , weight , whatever .
Provide more detail.
I apologize. I am very new to this. I want to make a stabilization mount for a phone/ small camera.
You need at least an accelerometer, either analog or digital. You will probably also need a brushless motor , an ESC (Brushless Electronic Speed Control), a flywheel, , reflective tape, a reflective sensor, (IR reflective sensor) , to measure the RPM of the flywheel using the reflective tape, a couple of servos mavbe, and some kind of lightweight frame to mount it all on. If you had an Erector set (do they still make those) that would probably work to make the frame. I made a robotic end-effector with Erector set parts.
