Print Thing TagSummary
First version of Pi camera.
I was not able to find a good camera support with pan and tilt functionalities so I made one. Please not this thing requires some amount of tinkering (soldering, connecting electronic components, etc).
I also wrote a short post with link to Github repository on my blog.
Let me know what you think!
KNOWN ISSUES:
1/ the camera flat cable is not the best choice for pan and tilt applications. So far worked well nonetheless. The design is already compatible with a round cable.
2/ requires a thin tool like a screw driver to access the SD card release mechanism. This will be solved in further releases

Assembly guidelines
Basically you need a power regulator to ensure a steady supply for the Raspberry Pi and the servos plus a power distribution board (big name, just 3 lines of a prototype board will do).
Below some pictures of my setup.
