I need a code for a project which is a 3 axis gimbal with arduino uno and mpu 6050 ?

Question

i want to make a 3 axis gimbal for cameras which work with arduino uno and mpu 6050 and with joystick control... please help

Answer 1

separate your project in steps:
1)reading analog input (joystick)
example available in the arduino IDE
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogRead
2)I2C interfacing (mpu-6050 gyroscope)
https://diyhacking.com/arduino-mpu-6050-imu-sensor-tutorial/
3)Motor contol (Servo/stepper according to what you use in your gimbal: google it- plenty info around)

once you are familiar with each step, join them together in you final project.

Answer 2

Arduino is basically C language (almost, it has quite a few addons to make it easier to code. How are you driving the gimbals?

Answer 3

learn Arduino C there are lots if resources out there, you can actually program an Arduio with all C++ if you include the right libraries. Arduino is really a practical learning thing, lots of trial and error and messing around with wiring and other ekectrical components to achieve your outcome. It is also very rewarding and alot of fun!
