Hi all, i am completely new to the arduino world but i have an idea in mind that i think would be pretty cool. after recently watching a youtube video on a self levelling platform i realised that the setup the guy has used for it is exactly the type of thing i need for my idea.
If anyone can help me figure out what sensors etc are needed for this device can you please shed some light on it with me. I will post the link to the video i seen on youtube
Thanks in advance
@Walkz69, if you edit your Original Post you could change the Thread title to "Help with self levelling platform".

The purpose of the machine in the video is not to self level itself but to keep the ball in the center. That is much more than just keeping itself level. Anyway, I really think you should choose a less ambitious project if you are just starting with arduino.
I am pretty sure that there is image processing involved - most likely there as an Android phone hanging above which passes the information on to the arduino which then just controlls the servos.
Unless you have decent programming experience in other languages I would highly recommend you look for a different project.
And please change the subject of your post.

Build a platform that you want to self level with an arduino board and servo's. Once you got that working, use gyrometer such as MPU-6050 to program a PID control system for the balancing.
