I need a gyro to control a camera plate and keep the x-axis horizontal irrelevant of the movement of the plate. The idea is to keep camera stabilized irrelevant of the y-axis position so i can move the camera up and down freely. The plate rotation should be adjusted via a servo motor. The servo motor will be used to reposition the camera back to 0 degrees.
I have a couple of Uno boards so i thought i can make use of one of them to suit the purpose.
Any help maybe including indications where i can find the necessary parts and how it can be implemented.
Assistance appreciated.
Gyros drift, and the drift depends on temperature. To offset that drift, most people use an accelerometer to provide a stable reference for down. Google "self leveling platform" for ideas.
What I am actually asking is how to understand the Ref/Out inputs on analog pins. I presume the ref is a fixed voltage and the out is the current position relative to the fixed.
The analog inputs give voltage references of what?
Regards,
Just bought a couple of Analog ENC-03RC from Ebay but unfortunately cannot find how to implement them anywhere on the web including Google.
Any help appreciated in this regard.
In the future, buy from reputable distributors such as Digikey and Mouser.
Google came up with this pretty quick:

"Product Lifecycle Stage Obsolete"
So not a part I'd recommend if you plan to repair, or recreate, your project in the future.
I'm sure you can find a recommended Murata replacement somewhere.
Have you looked at any of the Gyros that sparkfun carries?
For example, this one with example code:
MPU6050 has been seeing a lot of forum discussion recently as well.
thanks for the help. I'll try to figure out how to make good use of it. I only need a single axis control, the other axis will be visually controlled.
