If you've been making video footage of your bike or motorcycle rides, this project may be of interest. Instructables user "saftari" has devised a mount for a camera that keeps it upright even when taking various curves that usually affect the angle. It simply uses an Arduino which reads a gyroscope and then controls the camera-servo device to keep the camera upright. With an amount of trial and error the final project was a success and is demonstrated in the following video (you might want to turn the volume down):
Another example of what can be done with an Arduino and a little imagination. Visit the instructable for hardware and sketch details. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.
If you found the project above interesting - but not sure how to start with Arduino, servos and the rest - then the best way to learn is with our Experimenter's Kit for Arduino:
The package includes a wide variety of parts, sensors and modules including: a servo motor, lights, buttons, switches, sound, sensors, breadboard, wires and more. Furthermore a Freetronics Eleven Arduino-compatible board is included to make this an extensive hobby experimenter, inventor and starter kit. However we don't leave you alone to figure it all out, included is a great project and instruction booklet, plus access to a supporting web page and software examples. In other words - this is everything you need to get started for a fun range of electronics and Arduino related projects!
