The setup allows the device to rotate horizontally (left and right) to a specific angle, enabling the capture of a wide field of view or tracking of a moving object.
The setup allows the device to rotate horizontally (left and right) to a specific angle, enabling the capture of a wide field of view or tracking of a moving object.
The setup enables the device to rotate vertically (up and down) to a specific angle, allowing for adjustments in the viewing angle or focus on a specific area of interest.
The servo motors provide precise control over the pan and tilt movements, ensuring accurate and smooth positioning of the device.
The pan-tilt mechanism allows for adjustable range of motion, enabling customization to suit specific application requirements.

#include <Servo.h>// Define servo objects for pan and tilt
Servo panServo;
Servo tiltServo;void setup() {
// Initialize IC interface
Wire.begin();
// Attach servo objects to IC addresses
panServo.attach(0x20);
tiltServo.attach(0x21);
}void loop() {
// Set pan-tilt position (0 - 180)
panServo.write(90);
tiltServo.write(45);
delay(1000); // Hold position for 1 second
// Move to new position
panServo.write(135);
tiltServo.write(90);
delay(1000); // Hold position for 1 second
}
```### Example 2: Object Tracking with Raspberry Pi and OpenCVIn this example, we'll use a Raspberry Pi and OpenCV to track an object using the Servo Motor Pan-Tilt Setup. We'll use the Raspberry Pi camera module to capture images and OpenCV to detect the object's position.```python
import cv2
import numpy as np
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO# Initialize GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Define servo pin connections
pan_pin = 17
tilt_pin = 23# Initialize servo objects
pan_servo = GPIO.PWM(pan_pin, 50)
tilt_servo = GPIO.PWM(tilt_pin, 50)# Set up camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)while True:
# Capture frame
ret, frame = cap.read()
# Convert to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# Detect object (e.g., using Haar cascade classifier)
obj_detected = cv2.HaarDetectObjects(gray, cv2.CascadeClassifier('haar_cascade.xml'))
# If object detected, move pan-tilt mechanism to track
if obj_detected:
x, y, w, h = obj_detected[0][0], obj_detected[0][1], obj_detected[0][2], obj_detected[0][3]
pan_angle = int((x + w/2) / frame.shape[1] 180)
tilt_angle = int((y + h/2) / frame.shape[0] 180)
pan_servo.ChangeDutyCycle(pan_angle)
tilt_servo.ChangeDutyCycle(tilt_angle)
# Display frame
cv2.imshow('Object Tracking', frame)
# Exit on key press
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break# Release resources
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
