|
Arduino library for a pan tilt radar based upon 2 servo's.

## Warning
|
|
|
|
|
**WARNING: not extensively tested**
|
|
|
|
|
There are stil a lot of things to be tested.
|
|
|
|
|
The example code is now working to show the concept.

with the use of two pan/tilt servo's. It was written after a question on the forum but
|
|
|
|
|
never finished or tested it. Still, it has some interesting concepts wrt determine
|
|
|
|
|
the position of pan/tilt while in progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The idea is that one knows how fast the pan and tilt servos are working in degrees per second.
|
|
|
|
|
From that number and the start moment one can determine approximately its position.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Given its position while moving is interesting for radar purposes as one can determine e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
in which direction a ping is given and which distance belongs to which pair of angles.

- **RADAR(pan, tilt)** define pan / tilt pins of the radar. These should be PWM pins.
