If you are into Radio Control Models or robotics chances are that you have an old RC transmitter laying around. This article describes how to create a motion control module for your RC transmitter, that will allow you to control your model or robot by simply tilting the transmitter case. That's right not sticks!

Quadcopter Prototype using Acc_Gyro and a PIC
For anyone following this site, here is what I've been up to lately – building a quadcopter based on the Acc_Gyro 5DOF IMU sensor and a 16bit PIC. Although it's still a work in progress I decided to start putting together an article placeholder and build it up as project evolves. It's going to be a long one !
The source code will be Open-Source and will be hosted on Google Code, you can get code for quad copter here:

As usual I like to start with a video demo, it's basically me controlling the tilt of the quad using a RC controller:
