Wireless Pan and Tilt Camera Rig With Arduino

this is a small arduino project with the NRF24L01 wireless Transceivers modules ans 2 servo motors.

the rig is controlled by a wireless joystick and it can hold a camera, laser or anything you can think about.

Step 1: Requirements

required tools:

3d printer

small screw driver

links to the electronic parts:

2 servo motors

2 NRF24L01 Transceivers

1 joystick module

2 arduino nano clones

2 6v battery packs

some wires

Step 2: Making the Models and Building the Motors Base

in the video you can see the timelapse capture of the printing. all the printing process took almost 2 hours.

connecting the remote controller:

the remote controller include 1 joystick, 1 arduino, 1 NRF24L01 transceiver and a battery.
