Pan-Tilt Tracking Turret

Permission-scoped pan/tilt platform following an approved visual or sensor target. Permission-scoped pan/tilt platform following an approved visual or sensor target.

Components

  • MCU
  • pan/tilt servos
  • approved camera/sensor target

Build steps

  1. Inventory the board, actuators, sensors, and power rails listed for R04.
  2. Build and inspect the low-voltage wiring against the supplied connection diagram before connecting actuators.
  3. Flash the firmware, run the startup self-check, and record the printed board and firmware version.
  4. Calibrate the sensors and limits, then run the acceptance tests at the lowest safe energy level.

Test and expected result

Measure deadband, tracking error, rate limit, and behavior when the target disappears.

Safety and limits

Only test owned or explicitly authorized targets.
