Man you get me going ever time I read your posts! Shortly after reading one of your posts I made my own head tracker with an arduino and a MPU6050 IMU. And I designed and 3D printed a gimbal. I have some pictures.

That is the full gimbal system. It uses a drive belt to turn the system.

That is just a closer image.

That is the head tracking system mounted onto my FPV goggles.

This is where the head tracking data comes into the remote. I modified the two pots to take inputs from the arduino.

And here is some servos I bought for the project.
