Design of a control board for detection movement of head/neck

In this study, control card is designed to get and follow real-time location information through the instruments of Arduino and IMU. Firstly, 3 axis x, y, z location information are intended to get from IMU by means of Arduino in this system. After Arduino and IMU connection had been made, location information from IMU was transferred to the Arduino Serial Monitor with Arduino Nano programming. According to the location information received, 4 motor movement was carried out with L293D integrated. In order to visualize, this 3 axis location information was sent to Processing simultaneously. Arduino-Processing communication was realized with the help of "Serial" library in the Processing. The received axis information to Processing was visualized by 3-dimensional cube movement created help of library "OpenGL" in Processing. Thus, IMU and cube movement has become identical. In thesis study, according to the test results they were observed that instant location information can be received correctly thanks to IMU-Arduino communication and motors can be driven independently of each other by PWM, Arduino can work simultaneously with the Processing.
