Pan Tilt Mod for USB C Power
Description
This is a remix of "Pan tilt head" by eltitomanolo, originally posted on 8/9/17. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2467743/files I've modified the base to incorporate a USB C connector for powering the servos and, optionally, to power a camera board or anything else attached. The included file is for the base only. All other pieces are unchanged and can be downloaded from the original, linked above. I tied the USB power pins to the red and brown leads from the base servo. That three-wire cable can then carry the servo signal lead and power from the USB to the upper part of the mechanism to power the other servo and anything else mounted there that needs it, e.g. camera board, solar sensors, etc. I used...: "USB Type-C Breakout Board Serial Basic Breakout Female Connector Type PCB Converter Board" from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KC1SMGD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The holes in the shelf go all the way through. They're only 1 mm but are intended as pilot holes to use for drilling to the desired size, depending on what screws are used. There's plenty of room around the USB connection for the plug on the USB cable and for routing the three-wire servo cable out of the base. I printed this with a 2 mm shell setting to assure the shelf was strong and to provide plenty of stock around the 1 mm pilot holes.
