ES405 is a course about sensors and motors. In a lot of ways, the course helps prepare you for your capstone project. This year's course project was to build a self leveling platform. They used a cheap accelerometer as a tilt sensor. The output of the sensor is fed to a small computer which turns a motor in order to keep the platform straight.
