| - | 17 - Grab a short 4-40 fastener, the wire pushrod, and the remaining 2-threaded bracket. Attach the pushrod to the bracket as shown with the longer leg of the bracket receiving the fastener. Also, note the orientation of the pushrod in the picture to make sure it isn't "flipped". | + | 17 - Grab a short 4-40 fastener, the wire pushrod, and the remaining 2-threaded bracket.

| + | |||
| + | {{wiki:v2:img_5209_result.jpg?640}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | 21 - Plug a USB cable into Pixy to let Pixy power-up and "zero" the servos. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{wiki:v2:img_5212_result.jpg?640}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | 22 - Leave the USB cable plugged-in and attach the tilt servo horn to the tilt servo. The servo horn and Pixy should be close to upright as shown. | ||
| + | |||

| + | {{wiki:v2:img_5216_result.jpg?640}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | 24 - Use the servo horn fasteners (found in the servo baggies) to attach the tilt and pan servo horns. | ||
