Pan-Tilt Turret

Automatic pan-tilt turret at version 8. Built from scratch — 3D printed housing, DS3218MG servos, ESP32 controller, and a Blender-modeled assembly.

What it is

A motorized 2-axis platform that can track and aim at targets. Currently used for experimentation with servo control, inverse kinematics, and target detection.

Hardware

• DS3218MG servos (20 kg/cm torque, metal gears)
• ePETG-CF housing — rigid, lightweight carbon fiber reinforced filament
• ESP32 microcontroller (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth)
• Custom 3D printed brackets and mounts

Status

Version 8 — in progress. Next milestone: target detection via Raspberry Pi Camera.
