Re: [AVR-Chat] Platform Design for Camera

2007-01-24 by Ümit Şen

Thanks Leon and Tom,
One more question.I plan to set the tilt card (X-Y) and  the cameras on a
square platform and want to control them via four pistons moving on (Z)
axis.However,using punomatic is not suitable for robots working
environment.Can you suggest me a device for controlling the platform?
Thanks again.
Best Regards
Umit
