Panoboter – 2 servos, more than 1300 lines of code
— July 5th, 2010
Arduino forum [mhemhe] shared on [OpenRise.com] a very peculiar creation: the Panoboter,
a lightwight robot for spheric and multirow panorama for a dslr camera. I’m using one arduino mini pro as main controller and for controlling and drive the servo a pololu servo controller.
Congratulation for the work and effort, and sucha good detailed internet page to take not of it!
