We added a new angle control feature, enabling users to select and lock a camera position using the joystick, allowing more diverse applications. Initially, I planned for the joystick to activate when moved past its neutral center position, with the servos locking into the last active position when the joystick returned to center. Additionally, pressing the joystick would reset all servo angles to a default position of 90°. However, this proved difficult, as the servos couldn't differentiate between being inactive or passing through the neutral center position. The current design now requires the user to press the joystick to activate it, allowing control of the servos. Pressing it again deactivates the joystick, locking the current servo orientation and allowing the IMU to solely control the servo movement.
