Fatshark Pan/Tilt Mechanism for FPV Camera

Description

What it is

The Fatshark Pan/Tilt mechanism is a device that allows for vertical and horizontal movement of an FPV camera.

Features

• Servo pan 180 MG 1615
• Compatibility with FPV cameras

What it is for

The Fatshark Pan/Tilt mechanism can be used to stabilize an FPV camera or to follow its movement during flight. It can be mounted on a stable support and controlled via pan and tilt commands.

Tutorial: How to use Fatshark Pan/Tilt mechanism

The Fatshark Pan/Tilt mechanism allows you to control the position of your FPV camera. Useful for stabilizing it or for following objects in flight.

What you need

• Fatshark Pan/Tilt mechanism (ARD0011151)
• Servo pan 180 MG 1615
• FPV camera
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller

Steps

1. 1. Check that the mechanism is compatible with your servo pan 180 MG 1615.
2. 2. Connect the mechanism to the servo pan 180 MG 1615 using the power and control cables.
3. 3. Mount the FPV camera onto the mechanism, ensuring it is well soldered.
4. 4. Connect the mechanism to your Arduino or microcontroller using the power and control cables.
5. 5. Load the provided Arduino code.
6. 6. Configure the mechanism to control the camera with pan and tilt commands.
7. 7. Test the mechanism to ensure it works correctly.
8. 8. Install the mechanism on a stable flight support.

Example code

```void loop() {  // Codice per controllare il pan e il tilt della telecamera}```

Mini project

Mount the mechanism on a stable support, connect the camera, and check the camera position with pan and tilt commands.

Common mistakes

• Do not use incompatible cables.
• Do not mount the camera too tightly on the mechanism.
• Do not connect the mechanism without first verifying compatibility.
• Do not use an unsupported microcontroller.

Recommended accessories

• Stable flight support
