Mental model

An Attitude Indicator is an aircraft artificial horizon. It shows roll and pitch as a tilting horizon — for drones, vehicles, boats, or any IMU-equipped device.

When to use it

  • Roll/pitch visualization

Settings

Style

  • Display type · aircraft symbol
  • Sky / ground color
  • Instrument size · animation speed
  • Show degree markings · value indicators

Example — drive from an IMU

The Arduino library has a dedicated helper:
