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.

Is this the Arduino you used?

No. Why? I am looking into using a better system but I built it with what I have. A Arduino Nano. That one would work though.

This is the one I will use in the future.

All of a sudden FPV looks like a lot of fun!

Head-tracking FPV is a lot of fun, especially when flying in formation with a buddy:
