Wrap up on our variation of the Peter Sripol attitude indicator.
A quick update on the first completed project. It is a recreation of Peter Sripols attitude indicator with a change to the micro controller, OLED screen and Gyroscope/Accelerometer module. Here is a basic parts list:
- Raspberry Pi Pico
- MPU6050 6-axis Gyroscope/Accelerometer Module
- Bog Standard OLED 1.3 inch (SSH 1106 controller)
- 3D printed case
For software, we put together a modified version of this code. Initially, we were using CLion as the IDE along with CMake but when the OLED driver dependencies became to convoluted to include properly, we switched to the Arduino IDE and the Adafruit SH110X display driver and GFX libraries. Here is a shot of the breadboard before loading our components into the case:
And our beautiful creation after packing it in stylish PLA:
After assembling everything, we made some minor code updates due to the unique behavior and orientation of our gyro/accelerometer module. Here is our “finished” beauty in action:
This project was great learning as we kick start a series of family projects. The next project involves flying disks and possibly panzers.
