When combined with Pixy, the pan/tilt mechanism makes a fun demo — a good “hello world” for Pixy (no Arduino required). The pan/tilt mechanism comes in a kit and requires some assembly.

You will need the following (in addition to a Pixy and a pan/tilt kit):

There are lots of different types of fasteners included in this kit. Refer to the picture below to help you find which fastener we are referring to in these instructions.

1 - Start by removing the paper backing from the “frame” plastic piece.

2 - Remove one of the servos from its bag and attach to the frame by inserting its side-flange into the frame slot as shown. The flange of the servo fits very snug in the slot and requires some force.

3 - Flip the frame and servo over and attach a cable-tie as shown.

4 - Attach a second cable tie and tighten by hand as shown.

5 - Use pliers to tighten the cable ties by grabbing the ends of the cable-ties and pulling.
