RC HeadTracker

If your an RC enthusiast like myself with a FPV headset at some point you thought wouldn't it be cool if I could turn my head and the camera would follow. That is the intention of this project. It is a continuation of the work started by Dennis Frie, Mark Mansur and others in an effort to make it a more simple project.

I would like to throw out thanks to Yuri for the BLE Para work + Orientation fix. https://github.com/ysoldak/HeadTracker

  • Please visit the for the hardware required and how to build one.

Nano33BLE Build Link * Recommended

  • How to for the new BLE33 board

BNO055 + Nano Build Link No longer in active development, support only

  • How to for the BNO055 Sensor board + Arduino Nano
  • Download the latest version from here if your running Windows 7,8,10. Win 7+8 need a driver for the BLE33. Please see the build page
  • The GUI should compile on Linux and MacOS but I have not tested it (*Firmware upload will not work).

To Do

  • Choose a fusion algorithm, went with Madgwick
  • Add calibration to the GUI
  • Save config to flash
  • Wireless PPM using a second Nano33BLE
  • FRsky trainer connection
  • Find solution to PPM output jitter from interrupt timing issues
  • Find an even better solution to PPMout jitter.. Done in firmware v0.6
  • PPM Input Functionality and testing on BLE33 (Firmware available in 0.42)
  • Add ability to program from the firmware window, sample firmware in master
  • Create binaries for Gui
  • Add rotation to mount board in other orientations BLE33
  • Error checking of sent/uploaded parameters (Done release 0.8)
  • Roughly determine orientation on boot, pre-load filters to reduce startup drift (in v0.8)
  • Error checking of received/downloaded parameters
  • Combine remote and head firmwares into a single file, add GUI handling for remote board (Will be released in 1.0)
  • Check current GUI and FW versions with online source to notify if updates available
  • SBUS Input/Output ( Support on Remote board, testing phase, see dlktdr#23 )
  • Add 4 Channels of PWM output (Will be released in 1.0)
  • Add 2 Channels of analog input (Will be released in 1.0)
  • Create an installer to automatically install missing dependancies
  • Compile, test and create packages for MacOS (Need help here)
  • Compile, test and create packages for Linux
