Over the summer of 2021, I became very interested in model rocketry. Specifically, I had begun watching a YouTube channel called BPS Space, which is someone who makes model rockets controlled by vectoring the motor to help launch and land a model rocket.

My goal from this project was not to make one of these myself, but rather to learn how a system like this works. In Fusion 360, I made a model of the TVC mount with 2 9g servos and printed it out on my 3d printer. After assmebling the mount, I used and Arduino Uno paired with a MPU6050 to create a closed-feeback loop to create a TVC system that would angle the motor based on the input from the gyroscope and display the motor angles and gyro values to a serial monitor.

Overall, I had a very fun time learning how this system works and learning how to code a program that is able to do this. I learned a lot about how to use public libraries and find resources on closed-feedback loops.
