Camera PT mount

Mick Walters (UH)
Dear Genervra, Khenglee, Marek all,
I also agree with the choice of PTU-D46-17 for the camera servo. I think it is supported under Player/Stage (mobile robot api software), and also seems to have the carrying apacity (6-9lbs)to also act as a quiet actuation system for the PT neck joints of our proposed robot head system.

The interface is RS485, which is a possible candidate for the local robot bus communication/control IF, which we have been discussing initially with WRUT (Mariusz and Lucasz) people for our respective proposed robot developments (see the INITIAL DRAFT ROBOT HARDWARE specification document, circulated to all by email, and available for download from the LIREC website file manager.?).

Mick
