Pan Tilt Camera With Arduino and Joystick

How to make a pan tilt camera system using an old psx stick and arduino.
This system let you set the attitude for example of a cam, laser or whatever you want to attach.

You can find the code and the description (Italian) here:

1)First you need two RC servos and the brackets to mount them as in the picture. You can buy a kit online or build it on your own. It's not very easy to do and you also need a ball bearing

2)Connect each signal pin of the servos to arduino. (The pins are defined on the source code, but you can change them easily)

3)You can use/edit my program but citing its source, thanks.

2 different programs can be found on my website. I hope you'll like them.
