Radiomaster MT12 Motion Control for RC Cars - First Look and Setup

First look and setup guide of the new Radiomaster MT12 Gyro to allow motion control.
This module can be slotted into the expansion bad on the base of the MT12 and give you movement based control.

That's pretty cool actually, love how the mt12 can be expanded with extra modules

I just ordered one of those gyros from RadioMaster with some more three and five channel RXs with an Eight channel to do a pan and tilt FPV Walksnail Avatar digital system for my 10th scale dirt track racing. Instead of standing above the track with everyone else, stand on the side with my Walksnail Goggles lol

I'm pretty sure the motion control unit uses accelerometers and not gyros.
When you talk about the lack of yaw axis near the end, it's because the sensor is a two axis accelerometer. It senses tilt with respect to gravity. When you yaw the controller, it doesn't change the gravity effects the sensor. A yaw control would be difficult to implement. You'd need a gyro and you'd probably need a magnetometer to compensate for the gyro drift.
When I first got interested in microcontrollers, I rigged up one of my small *Blade* coaxial helicopters to be controlled with a Wii Nunchuck. The joystick controlled pitch and roll and I used the accelerometer to control the throttle and yaw. Forward and back tilting controlled the throttle. Side to side tilting controlled the yaw.
It was a fun novelty to control the helicopter with one hand but it made flying the helicopter harder.
Thanks for making and sharing this video.

I'm not sure if it uses an accelerometer or a gyro but Radiomaster like to call it a gyro in their marketing. Me and some people on discord tried to work out if It's only two-axis due to hardward or software limitations. The chip has "1426C K81LG1 2310" but we can't find any results for this.

its a 6-axis motion track sensor chip, output real-time attitude

Good explanation, I also believe that the pan axes is not as it should be, if you turn the transmitter left and right it would be better and not as it is now. Maybe the radiomaster team will adjust this in the near future. Cheers.

Could this also be used for eeeevil?

Where can I find the pan/tilt camera mount you used?

[@ChinaExpatsRC]

It's just a cheap one I bought for a few dollars from aliexpress for this video. It's bad I don't recommend it.

[@kinnnzzbinzz7066]

where can I buy such a module?
