I didn't receive my RAMPS to control my stepper motors, nor important mechanical parts to assemble the Thor robot. so I am a bit stuck in development for the Thor.

However I did receive my MPU-6050 accelerometer + gyroscope module so let's continue that path.

I was wondering an easy way to remote hand control the Thor robot when I discovered the MPU-6050 gyroscope. I am wondering if I can use that module in a way that I use the motion.

The Thor robot has to control 6 motors, and the goal is to make it dead easy to control with fluid movements. Joysticks are not very intuitive.

I am taking a Arduino Uno for this proof of concept but I most probably will use an Arduino Nano because I want it to be very compact.

The idea is to put the senor on a glove on my hand. The accelerometers used to control the robot using inverse kinetics. And using the Gyroscope to control the hand rotations.

To avoid an out of control robot when I scratch my nose I will have a second hand controller to be used by my other hand. I am thinking about a button to press with my thumb to activate the robot controls and when I release it, the robot stops in its position.

I am also thinking about having several buttons on the left hand control to change modes. fast pace, slow pace.....

These are concept ideas...
