When I first put the rover robot together, I used a camera mount that came with the camera. However this was inclined slightly upwards meaning it was difficult to see what was directly ahead. For
All code in this example is included in the GitHub repository. When looking at adding a pan/tilt camera mount, I ran into a number of problems with the Raspberry Pi and serving PWM (see 9g Micro
When making a pan/tilt mount *link & article pending* for my PiRover robot, I ran into some issues with badly jittering servos. Following some suggestions on the excellent YouTube video from Gary Explains, did not
So far I have concentrated on driving my telescope and Zwo ASI camera, which is great for planetary and lunar imaging, but for widefield imaging with long exposures, a DSLR camera is a better tool,
Following on from previous posts about building a Raspberry Pi imaging server using Astroberry, the next stage was to add a remote focuser and dew heater control. Remote focusers are quite expensive, however small low
Continuing from my previous post about controlling a telescope and camera with Astroberry on a Raspberry Pi, part 2 looks at telescope control and planetarium software. Telescope remote control In order to connect a Celestron
One common form of astrophotography is to use a high frame rate camera to produce a video of an object then stack (process) the frames to compile together the clearest parts to produce one (hopefully!)
All code in this example is included in the GitHub repository. As the core libraries are likely to be expanded, an archive of code associated with this blog post is at blogArchive/post3. The driving test
All code referred to in this post can be found in the Github repository. In part 1, I got a basic functioning robot. The next step is to see how the driving performs. The long
For the background of this project, see the main page. This details the basics from getting the hardware together and making a robot that can do a very basic driving demo. Hardware A full inventory
