Pan / Tilt kit for TowerPro SG90 9g servos

thingiverse

This rig for towerPro SG90 servos fits snugly into any Halloween prop as a neck/head platform, making it perfect for spooky scenes. These economical motors retail on eBay for roughly two bucks each. Designed to hold lightweight heads in place, the sturdy motor setup leaves ample room for added flair like LED lights or animations. I utilized a transparent Jack-o-Lantern candy bucket as the main feature, while incorporating a Raspberry Pi and a compact camera to achieve smooth face tracking through advanced computer vision algorithms. For an additional layer of authenticity, one can also pair this design with a $2.50 Arduino Nano microcontroller and a simple PIR sensor that retails for about three dollars, creating a smart scarecrow effect where the device responds to nearby individuals. Alternatively, attaching a user-friendly HC-05 bluetooth-to-serial converter would allow users to command it remotely via their mobile devices. The main goal was not to create a sleek R/C FPV system but rather an effortless and easy neck mechanism that could easily fit into various environments. However, the potential for adapting this rig into larger scale projects related to First Person View remains promising. **Important Post-Printing Instructions** Once you've completed your print: 1. **Use #6 screws**: Use these specially designed fasteners on the hinge with nuts and lock washers included for added security. If your screw is overly long, be sure to replace it as assembly might become challenging without making any necessary adjustments. 2. **Center Your Motors Properly**: Before putting all parts together, make certain to calibrate your motors correctly using your motor controller. Proper alignment is crucial here. You can see "elbow" style horns are required which should be fitted accurately into their place for a successful assembly process. It may seem confusing without proper centering but align them carefully and it'll become clear how things go together smoothly in the end. 3. **Assemble Carefully**: Glue your motor mount securely onto the pan section. You can tell by the indentation found on that part which serves as an indication of its appropriate seating location within the design structure for such assemblies - take note from the photos I provided. As a final check, look at how it should come together in fully assembled mode via my reference photo added to the thread. And for easy access if needed, I've even posted pictures on how the components link. Now once everything's secured correctly start with assembling horn parts according themselves their exact spot. It will fit nicely without further adjustments afterwards since everything's been planned accordingly here now that we've reached this step successfully. Use only **Epoxy Adhesives**: Don't rely on common hot glue; instead use stronger Permatex 5-Minute epoxy because it works way better offering strong bonds that keep parts stable & less flexible against future movements like twisting/bending forces acting upon system assembly afterward due nature design material used initially here too hence such selection highly recommended strongly over another cheap alternative possibly out there. It may appear quite clear looking but still, takes about one full hour to fully harden after initial mixing done correctly though. I usually keep handy small toothpicks just in case since need precision during handling process ensure not wasting any - avoid edges getting covered properly mix & let set completely before adding additional stuff later down line here now okay?
