RE: PTZ Home build

Interesting idea....

Must walk along the road and see what I can "find"......

I striped (read, hammer) down a big office printer some time back that
had some good stepper motors and nice nylon gears, with a view to
coercing these into use but I aint got a clue what the circuitry
requires!

I thought of using some car speedo cables with worm gears on the ends as
a make shift PT mech as the camera I want to P&T is only a short
distance from me (on the outside front facia and I "live" in the
loft!)

This is a good site for motor driven things...

Food for thought....

Brian,

I had thought about this and wondered whether the electric door mirror
assemblies from cars would make a suitable stating point for the P-T, or
maybe just the T part.

Just a thought.

Tim.
