- | 14 - Plug the servo wires into Pixy's servo connector. The pan servo goes on the left-side of the connector; the tilt servo goes on the right-side of the connector. (Which is the tilt axis? It's the one that's held down by the cable ties.) | + | 14 - Plug the servo wires into Pixy's servo connector. Looking at the back of Pixy2, the pan servo goes on the left-side of the connector; the tilt servo goes on the right-side of the connector. (Which is the tilt axis?

+ | 25 - Use a round servo horn and line it up on either of the two possible positions on the pan-tilt base. You may prefer to mount the servo-horn centered if you are just using the pan-tilt mechanism on a desktop (for example), or you may prefer to mount the servo-horn off-center if you plan on mounting the pan-tilt mechanism on a robot. The off-center position allows Pixy2 to look over the edge of the base more effectively. | ||

- | 26 - The base plate has two hole patterns for attaching the standoffs: a rectangular hole pattern that we showed above and an Arduino hole pattern if you want to mount your Pixy pan-tilt on top of an Arduino. If you wish to mount your Pixy pan-tilt on top of an Arduino, see below. | + | 30 - The base plate has two hole patterns for attaching the standoffs: a rectangular hole pattern that we showed above and an Arduino hole pattern if you want to mount your Pixy pan-tilt on top of an Arduino.
