We printed out our final gimbal base model after modifying some of the dimensions to fit the newer high torque motors we switched into using. We also got our raspberry pi camera and worked on adding that to the final model. Everything was set up and finalized for the final demo which occurred on Friday!

Final 3d print where we fixed the dimensions to be compatible with the new high torque motors, and made some other final adjustments based on previous designs:

(link to 3d print design will be added in project instructions)

Simple circuit board just connected to one servo and no joystick module- later, two servos were added (high-torque) with similar circuit configuration, and the joystick module was added:

Final model - all three servos were successfully moving the gimbal, imu was placed on top of main blue board to hold steady position:

Final demo updates:

One issue we faced was the shallow nodes of the servo motors not fitting completely and falling out- we attempted to address this by using hot glue which got stuck in the rotor area and made it very hard to attach and therefore use. We are fixing this by manually removing all hot glue, printing out new parts, and using spares to reattach servos without hot glue. Main tip is to not use hot glue on servos.
