With this kit, you turn an Arduino Uno and an MPU6050 IMU into a real-time orientation monitor on a bright 1.8-inch TFT screen, complete with moving horizon lines and digital angle readouts. It's a compact inertial measurement project that bridges physics, coding, and aviation, giving you instant visual feedback as you tilt and rotate the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll assemble a self-contained orientation monitor that senses tilt, rotation, and angular motion, then renders a dynamic graphical horizon indicator. The display updates instantly as you rotate the board, showing exact pitch and roll angles against a moving sky\/ground reference.
