Raspberry Pi LESSON 58: Control System for Pan/Tilt Camera Hat for RPi Camera

[@stephenlightkep1621]

Thanks Paul. I am loving this what I learned today, stuff from the last few videos are sinking in.

Great lesion went really smooth. When I tried to turn on some LEDs using the THRU pins on the PAN/TILD. to indicate which direction it was moving. The camera locks up. Error says try setting BOARD or BCM. I have set it up both ways and used different pins. But still get the error. Seems I may be interfering with the servo signals. But I am not using 12 or 13 outputs to light my LEDs. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated . In terminal mode LEDS work fine . But when running you tracking example using Thonny it hangs the camera up and I get the ( try to set mode BCM or BOARD. And I have tried both. Error pops up when i turn on output. Up till then it all works fine.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for your lessons. I've implemented it using Lego motors. However while tracking the object the fps goes down to 1 or 2 fps. Is something I can do to speed it up?

Hi Paul. I missed the live chat because it was scheduled at a weird time. Lesson 15 of the Pico W lessons seems to have the same problem - 11pm my time as opposed to 5pm

[@paulmcwhorter]

OK, I fixed the lesson 15 to normal schedule. I hoppe the rest are correct.

[@nightmist7116]

hello. Can I ask a question about your lesson? I run the program on my raspberry pi 4b but I get an error about the servo module.: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 5, in ImportError: cannot import name 'Servo' from 'servo' (unknown location) can you tell me where and how to install this module? What did I do wrong?

[@paulmcwhorter]

Did you watch the earlier lessons in this class about installing servo library? These videos are part of a sequence of classes, and each builds on the earlier lessons.

was another GREAT LESSON only missed your live chat while lesson was on , did not use my computer until 2 hours after lesson! any idea when next Friday chat will happen?

[@paulmcwhorter]

It was a mistake on my part. Future lessons should be on correct schedule.

[@larryplatzek9017]

what happened this is Wednesday NOT Thursday?

[@paulmcwhorter]

I must have somehow mis scheduled it. I was suprised to find this morning it had been released.

[@alldaypancakes7058]

more people shold watch you and stop playing video game or watching sily cat video

[@keithlohmeyer]

Well I thought I was going to sit on the side lines but this was just too interesting. I set up the servo in the kit for pan so I could try my ideas out. Looking forward to what Paul has for a solution but here's my stab at it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onTToaGBpZaWosU Thanks Paul for all you do.
