Great tutorial. I followed you step-by-step playing the video in bits. Everything worked perfectly and I am up and running with my Pimoroni Pan-Tilt-Hat. I don't have to tell you that most RU-vid tutorials are not as effective as yours. Thank you, Tim. Well done!
I'd love that too haha! Here is my face tracking guide with a Pan Tilt HAT if you need 😊 core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/Face-Tracking-Raspberry-Pi/
Great video!!, I just have two sg90 180degree servo motors. Can I make a face tracking camera without pimoroni picade hat? I have other parts like raspberrypi and V2 camera ,etc...
Its definitely possible! If you are looking for a guide on connecting servos directly to the Pi we have one here: core-electronics.com.au/guides/control-servo-raspberry-pi/ The missing thing will be the mounts for the camera and servos. You could make your own but this will also work: core-electronics.com.au/fpv-nylon-pan-tilt-kit-without-servo.html There may be an added layer of difficulty in the code section though as you will need to manually set the angles of the servo instead of using the library. We have a forum topic on this video that may have some helpful information: forum.core-electronics.com.au/t/face-and-movement-tracking-pan-tilt-system-with-raspberry-pi-and-opencv/12153/29 Best of luck with your project!
Hi, amazing kit. Thanks for sharing. Does anyone can give an idea of a total weight? For my intended application mass is critical. Many thanks in advance
Why would you need a hat? There are a ton of 3d print pan/tilt files out there and the hat is basically connecting the servos to the pi header pins anyway. You can change them to whatever pins you want in the IDE. There are also several tracking bots out there using OpenCV for motion tracking and facial recognition.
Get amongst it and make your own solution 😊 I love it! This HAT is a ready made (awesome) solution for those without the time or 3D printer but your absolutely correct. In fact I have even 3D printed a Pan-Tilt system not to long ago - instagram.com/p/CUiYXEkLjrF/
This right website liked here shows you exactly what GPIO pins are used and what pins are not by the Pimoroni HAT - pinout.xyz/pinout/pan_tilt_hat. Any free pins can be used to drive anything that you'd like 😊
Is there a way to do this without the need of a hat? I'd like to have two servo's running to create pan/tilt for a wyzecam and 3D printed parts. Like to have the web interface etc.
Totally possible to create a pan-tilt system with tiny servos. A great example would be this one - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vcAKRqfPi8E.html Depending on how your controlling the servos you will likely need to customise the code/create your own script to control the system.
Not with the Servos inside it (they're limited to ~180 degree range each). You may have to build a Pan-Tilt system from scratch, linked you to our Instagram page for inspiration - instagram.com/p/CUiYXEkLjrF/?hl=en
Totally, should have been more helpful before here is the STL of that system - www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-camera-gimbal-95406 There is lots of different designs avaliable freely online. One that was particularly impressive is this one - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4316563
For sure, the programming step might be a little bit tougher. For a Pan-Tilt Hat system designed with Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano in mind check out this one here - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/FIT0731
