ShAKY (Shift Angle KentuckY camera sensor module)

Note: if you want to use ShAKY with a camera other than a Canon PowerShot ELPH160 or ELPH180, it's best to use the newer version, which fits many cameras and provides for Xsync synchronization.\r\n\r\nShAKY (Shift Angle KentuckY) is a compact module designed to be mounted at the base of a Canon PowerShot ELPH160 or ELPH180. Both cameras can be reprogrammed using CHDK, allowing ShAKY to continuously report 9-axis position data with high accuracy. This data can distinguish position changes that alter the sensor image by less than one pixel shift.\r\n\r\nResearchers created it in my lab at the University of Kentucky for various research experiments involving new methods to obtain better images despite camera shake.... The sensor assembly is surprisingly affordable and this packaging may serve as a good reference for other applications.\r\n\r\nThe module consists of two circuit boards. The smaller top-mounted board is an MPU9250/6500 9-Axis sensor module, measuring movement in X, Y, Z, roll, pitch, and yaw as well as absolute X, Y, Z orientation using a magnetometer. The larger bottom-mounted board is a Pro Micro ATmega32U4 Arduino, providing a programmable USB interface to the sensor. The USB interface also powers both boards, keeping costs low at about $15 for the entire unit.
