Hello Jianyi,

Have you taken a look at Simple Brushless Gimbal Controller — Video ? It's a product based on the MPU6150 IMU, and a few brushless DC motors. I'ts made for quadcopters. Very nice control, might be interesting to see if you design will also work on quadcopters, maybe you should get in touch with [mention:bcf467be9bf04982b313a2229455ef3a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], who's also participating in this PSOC challenge!

To help with your development have a look at the Project #053 - PSoC Eye project.

It uses two servos for panning and tilting.

Cheers

Very Compact

Interesting idea.

Are you planning to use servos to keep the camera steady?

Have you considered adding a gyro stabilizer for the roll axis?

I did a similar project about 30 years ago to stabilize an airborne FLIR compensated for flight vibrations, so if you set up the proper set of correction vectors, you should be able to do a good job with the Cypress processor. I did mine with an Intel 8085 and your ARM processor is much better suited for it than I had.

Look forward to your future posts.
