<h3><div>If you're an RC enthusiast with a FPV headset, at some point you might have thought wouldn't it be cool if you could turn your head and the camera would follow. That is the intention of this project.</div></h3><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Features</strong></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">You only need to purchase a single easy to source and not too expensive Arduino Nano33BLE board. </span><a href="https://store.arduino.cc/usa/nano-33-ble" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">ABX00030</a><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;"> (Also available at Arduino, Digikey, Newark, Mouser, Amazon and more)</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">No need to track down additional sensor boards. All sensors are already included on the Nano</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">Directly communicate with Bluetooth radios. Taranis X9d+2019, Horus X10, Taranis QX7S, Taranis, etc.. Both PARA and Bluetooth Trainer wireless is supported as of V2.0+</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">Bluetooth wireless link is available using a second Nano33BLE board. It acts like a FRSky remote and outputs PPM or SBUS. For those that don't have a PARA transmitter and want wireless.</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: -webkit-match-parent; text-indent: -36px;">No switch to reset zero is needed.

Head Tracker

Use the orientation of your head to control a remote camera. Designed for use with Remote control Planes, Drones, Cars, Rovers but can easily be used in many other applications as well.
