Pan-Tilt HAT is a two-channel servo driver designed to control a tiny servo-powered Pan/Tilt assembly. It also controls either PWM-dimmed lights or WS2812 pixels; up to 24 RGB or 18 RGBW.
Installing
Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Pan-Tilt HAT up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/pantilthat | bash
Alternatively, on Raspbian, you can download the pimoroni-dashboard
and install your product by browsing to the relevant entry:
sudo apt-get install pimoroni
(you will find the Dashboard under 'Accessories' too, in the Pi menu - or just run pimoroni-dashboard
at the command line)
If you choose to download examples you'll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/pantilthat/
.
