my controller measured a disturbance I hid from it and I am so proud of myself a week ago I did not know what PID was but in a Week I made this yay

Hi, So I have been working as u can see from logged hours, MY GIMBAL IS DONE HOORAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so so excited! I spent so much time on it, for the last hours I made two control horns two servo mounts attatched it all fixed height issue made a BASE and it was so fun here are some pics to show u what im talking about:-

Vega Devlog 4! I am done with designing the gimbal system with two rotational axis and next time will work on the base for this time I made inner cylinder with two tabs sticking out, its also the part that contains the rocket motor its diameter is 24.250 mm and the wall thickness is 2mm same thickness for outer cylinder it is 17 mm bigger in diameter than the inner cylinder it holds the inner cylinder allows it to rotate it also has two tabs for left and right motion! thats all for today up next is building up the base to attatch this to

Today I made the sensor actually work and pick up data, I did it by using <wire.h> in arduino ide next step is to confirm everything works then add a gimbal mechanism!

I added the Integral and derivative force to the simulator and even added slight wind turbulance to test it against real conditions and its working perfectly, I just bought a IMU sensor MPU6050, Goal of the IMU stage: turn the sensor’s raw, messy readings into one clean tilt angle we can actually trust — solid enough to hand to my PID simulator. In the sim I invented the tilt number out of thin air. Now I will to measure it from the real world,. Closing that gap is the whole stage.

I made 4 timelapses covering my research logs, I researched a Lot and started writing code for the main PID controller, but u may be curious what am I even building##I am building vega a model rocket that can go really high and then land back too!,My goal is to learn PID algorithms which I mostly did today My turtle rocket now balances and calculates the errors too, So its really good as of now next is to optimise it by introducing derivatives. learnt a lot today, from making an inverse pendulum simulator to working Proportional algorithm
