A control system which provides directional control over various real and
virtual vehicles, craft and moveable subjects. The control system
includes a housing, a controller in the housing having an electronic
radio control PC board or an electronic video control PC board and tilt
switches which are fixed relative to the housing at preferred
orientations. The switches are connected to control terminals of the
electronic control PC board. With the tilt switches fixed relative to the
housing, orientation of the housing can result in the electronic control
PC board transmitting signals to a remote vehicle, craft or virtual
subject. Rather than tilt switches, the control system can include pots
having shafts orthogonally arranged relative to the housing. The pots are
connected to control terminals of the electronic control PC board.
Pendulums are fixed to the shafts of the pots. With the pots having
shafts orthogonally arranged relative to the housing such that the
pendulums can swing responsive to gravity, orientation of the housing can
result in the electronic control PC board transmitting signals to a
remote vehicle, craft or virtual subject.
