Week 5 Log

Progress Demonstration

We have given demo of CMT algorithm to Kavi Arya Sir.

Gimbal Making

We have created Gimbal using servo motors and and 3D printed parts. The image of gimbal and camera can be found here

Setting up Raspberry Pi

• Installed Raspbian OS to Raspberry Pi.
• Then we have installed necessary packages like OpenCV, Numpy to Raspberry Pi.
• Then we have set up SSH connection in Raspberry Pi.
• Useful Link: raspberrypi.org

Interfacing servo motors and camera with Raspberry Pi

• We have interfaced servo motors to Raspberry Pi using GPIO pins.
• We have interfaced Pi camera to Raspberry pi.
• Created tutorial on "Interfacing the Camera and Gimbal System with the Raspberry-Pi" which can be found here

Movement of servo motors

• Understood "How to move servo motors using PWM signals".
• Created Python code of movement of servo motors using center of green colored object which is given by Pi cam to keep object in the center of the frame.
