Engineering Projects/Gyro Accelerometer

Idea
Gyros and Accelerometers are simple conceptually. Physically implementing the software that can balance a hover craft or helicopter is difficult. A test apparatus needs to be designed so that data can be collected real time. Perhaps the test can be automated so that three linear directions and three circular directions are sequenced and repeated. This could turn into a demo/tutorial that lowers the associated learning curve.
