Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Antenna tracks hw

[Gareth Roberts]

Last time I built a camera mount, I took 2 standard size servos (Futaba
Swhatever) and glued one (on it's side) to the wheel part of the other.
I then glued my camera to the wheel of the second servo.
It took about 5 minutes - you might want to take a bit more time but the
hardware is fairly simple - you need to organise your two servos so you
have rotation in both axes (one servo will have to rotate the other).

If you use Chris's antennae tracking software (which I would really  
recommend unless you have a very good reason), you'll need a
Pololu micro maestro.  Presumably, you just need to switch everything on  
and use a compass to line your antennae up so that when the OSD says 0  
degrees, the antennae points directly north.
