Raspberry Pi Zero W Pan/Tilt Camera Kit

The SparkFun Raspberry Pi Zero W camera kit provides a pan/tilt camera controlled via a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The kit consists of easy-to-assemble and program parts which expand the Raspberry Pi Zero W’s IoT capabilities and accessibility tailored to the Pi camera module. With the Zero W camera kit, users can create quick, low cost motion-activated security systems and webcam interfaces for streaming or monitoring for any number of projects. With only a few steps, users will be set up in no time with their very own remote camera system.

Inside this kit is everything needed to assemble a pan/tilt camera, including:

  • Raspberry Pi Zero W – a small, low cost 1 GHz single board computer with onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1
  • SparkFun’s Pi Servo HAT - allows a Raspberry Pi to control up to 16 servo motors via I2C
  • a Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 – designed around the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor
  • a pan/tilt bracket kit with servos
  • all the cables and headers needed to assemble the kit

SparkFun has also written an in-depth assembly guide that walks users through each step of the kit assembly, as well as programming steps utilizing the Raspbian Jessie Image and libraries.
