Pan & Tilt Camera Control

March Solution Note

Pan & tilt systems for security, industrial, and military applications have to move faster, smoother, and more accurately than ever before. At the same time, these systems need to be cost effective, easy to program, and easy to reconfigure. How do we build a high performance pan & tilt system that meets these requirements and can still be brought to market quickly? Read on find out!   READ MORE

Servo Tuning: Black art, rocket science, or walk in the park?

A Technical Deep-Dive

In this month’s deep dive we provide an overview of PID (proportional, integral, derivative) based servo tuning, and introduce two standard manual tuning methods that work well for a large variety of systems. We also show that ‘optimal’ parameters vary by application and performance goals, even for the exact same motor and amplifier setup. Take a deep-dive into PMD's lab to learn more!   READ MORE
