Arduino Webcam Servo

A webcam is retrofitted with a pan & tilt mechanism using 2 servo motors and is controlled with an Arduino microcontroller. An Xport module is used to allow remote access and control via web pages. More info here:

Fusionicon: the latency in my application is maybe a quarter or half second.

This already uses 2 servos. Just take a look at the code at the link. I don't use a potentiometer for control, however.

I'm pretty sure you can buy pan-tilt-zoom webcams but they're probably very expensive.

I have a usb webcam can I use it with arduino to send the video to another arduino over xbees and display it on a monitor

this is really cool. it'd be great too see some more of the mechanical parts

What is lantecy like on the xport can twist the servos pretty fast with out having problems through the network?

im planing to make one of these.

i know how to controll one servo with one potmeter, but i want to have 2 serveros (one of X and one for Y axis and have 1 potmeter each.

you think you could change your code for me for this ?

i would realy apreashiate it.

+ when i finish building it, i will post a video responce :)

i am looking for a web cam like this, does it have to be built? or can you just buy one with a base that would allow for movement and zom etc from feet away?
