It will have a GUI displayed on a LCD screen, and we would

I am using continuous rotation servo for 'Yaw' control of my camera gimbal. I am using it for stabilization around a setpoint/ target angle, using PID's.
If I give a target of say 60 degrees, the servo should adjust its speed in such a way as

I am currently using the rainy days to setup my APM2.5. Now, I got a Mediatek MTK3329 GPS from flytron.com quite some while ago (used it with MultiWii via I2C at that time).
