Arduino + Nunchuck + Pan and Tilt Camera

Using an Arduino Diecimila board to let a Nintendo Wii Nunchuck control a camera mounted on a “pan&tilt” mechanism with two servos. Nunchuck’s accelerometer (an ADXL330) is used to move the camera. If the Nunchuck’s “Z” button is pressed, the camera position is locked.

    @VALKIR4636 When processing the data from the nunchuck try using an average from the last three readings, it will add a slight delay but should compensate for such hiccups.

    You could attach a device like this to a snowboarding helmet, including a nunchuck, and smooth out the movements of your head. So just filming straight down the hill.

    i’m making a robot with front, back, left, rifgt, controls, controlled with the nuncuk’s analog stick, and a pan&tilt camera holder on top, controlled by the accelarometer ๐Ÿ™‚

    oh and it will be wireless ๐Ÿ˜€

    long term project though, still have to buy another arduino…
