We have developed a lightweight low-cost attitude sensor, based on a
Raspberry Pi, built with readily available commercial components. It can be
used in experiments where weight and power are constrained, such as in high-
altitude lightweight balloon flights. This attitude sensor will be used as a
major building block in a closed-loop control system with driver motors to
stabilize and point cameras and telescopes for astronomical observations from a
balloon-borne payload.Comment: Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation, Volume 03, Issue 02,
