gimbal-with-2-servos

A Microbit project

This is a prof of concept for a simple gimbal stabilizer with a Micro:bit board and two servos. It won’t hold any heavy stuff like mobile phone, HD cameras, etc, but some simple camera small should be fine.

Be careful with the servos, better with metal gear (“MG”), but the consume more. 4 x 1.5 V AA batteries or 5 x 1.2 V AA batteries (6 VDC) should be enough, but don’t expect a very smooth work, as servos usually requiere quite enough current. Ni-Cd or Li-ion batteries are better (see more comments in my Instructable, linked below).

Some adjustments can be made by software in my code, specially:
