Pan and tilt on a 5710 using RQ servos

[l3v3rz offline]

Its incredibly easy to add these new RQ servos to make pan and tilt head for your 5710/20 Huno.

The RQ bracket screw in directly to where the standard head fit . Connect servo on to bracket with nut and bolts provided. Then add a second servo using the snap together connectors. Finally use the split cables to plug into the spare socket on the RBC controller. Done !

In this picture I've then added a stripped down webcam (Microsoft VX-1000) - which is held in place by second bracket and a bit tape. Its USB is then connected into the Omnima board - perfect !!

See picture



Finally here's a bit of Robobuilder BASIC code to control it - sweet !

Code: Select all

List Program
5 PRINT "type: w,a,s,z,q"
8 LET P =  SERVO(22)
11 LET Q =  SERVO(24)
14 LET G =  5
17 LET H =  5
20 PRINT "P=",P,"Q=",Q
23 LET K =  $KBD
26 PRINT K
29 IF  K=113 THEN 71
32 IF  K=115 THEN 35 ELSE 38
35 LET P =  P+H
38 IF  K=97 THEN 41 ELSE 44
41 LET P =  P-H
44 IF  K=119 THEN 47 ELSE 50
47 LET Q =  Q+G
50 IF  K=122 THEN 53 ELSE 56
53 LET Q =  Q-G
56 SERVO 22=P
59 SERVO 24=Q
62 ! IMAGE LOAD 32
65 ! IMAGE SHOW 6
68 GOTO 8
71 SERVO 22=@
74 SERVO 24=@
77 END
