gimbal

If you're willing to deal with the caveats&lock-in of the Gimbal Beacons you can get those for $5.

Also looks like gimbal lock and Euler interpolation could be a problem for some 3D rotations.

The minor loop contains the platform gimbal angle and accelerometer sampling routines and control system computations.

It seems that the architecture of Viking was such the bootloader would have needed to perform gimbal control of the antenna.

That said, a non-Vision Phantom with a gimbal and a GoPro can probably also get satisfactory results for those same customers.

Or maybe an umbrella on a gimbal, so that if it's windy some of the energy can be absorbed by angular momentum.

It is certainly no easier than the gimbal control of a rocket, which is similar to balancing a stick on your hand.

If tomorrow candy crush/angry birds want to tap into the gimbal database, well congratulations.

So once you run out of hydraulic fluid, you're limited to the ability to gimbal the Merlin engines for controlling pitch and yaw.

They're including a 2-axis gimbal that should (mostly) compensate for this.

Can anyone savvy here weigh in on how much having a two-axis rather than three-axis gimbal will affect the stability of the video, if at all?

And in a portrait orientation, it completely gimbal locks.

Unit conversions had nothing to do with a computer saying "gimbal an engine 90 degrees".

But the ability to select a "normal" shot after the fact - or in real time without a gimbal - would be really awesome.

Instead, you can think of these are ones where things line up "just right" to eliminate some information." Is that related to "gimbal lock"?

Interestingly Gimbal, is a Qualcomm company or rather was a Qualcomm company as it was spun off [3].

Gimbal had embedded its beacons in phonebooths in Chicago, LA and New York [1, 2].

Gimbal also had $5 beacon giveaways [4].
