Camera Gimbal (Multi-Axis Actuator Reference)

Application repository for a multi-axis gimbal built on actuator control and IMU feedback. It acts as a practical reference for stabilizing mechanisms within the actuator component library ecosystem.

Purpose

This project provides reusable examples for:

• Multi-axis actuator coordination.
• IMU-assisted control loops for stabilization.
• CAD components for gimbal structural assemblies.

Component Coverage

Mechanical

• mechanical/cad/model/: STL files for gimbal links, camera mount, motor mounts, and board base.

Software

• software/python/code/camera-gimbal-code/: control scripts, IMU utility code, and calibration data.
• software/python/code/iphone-imu.py: additional IMU data utility.

Role in Actuator Library

This repo is an application testbed for actuator behavior under orientation control and sensor feedback.
