Remote Pan-Tilt Object Tracking Module
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I’m building a compact pan-tilt head that can be driven remotely with a small camera module and a laser pointer ride on top of it. The primary goal is reliable pan-tilt motion and foundation for future development.
Here’s what I need from you:
• A motorized pan and tilt mechanism sized for a lightweight camera board and laser diode.
• Control electronics (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar—whatever you prefer) with firmware that exposes over serial communication.
• A simple desktop or mobile interface so I can jog the rig manually, start/stop tracking, and toggle the laser.
• Assembly instructions, wiring diagrams, and commented source code so I can reproduce the build.
Acceptance test: demonstrate adequate homing and motion control.
If you have ideas to improve stability, speed, or precision, I’m open to them.
