A friend came up with a real cool idea...a camera mount that uses PIR sensors to tell the camera where to look. We have a Picaxe 14M running a 360 degree servo, inside an enclosure, and the output shaft is ball bearing supported. He, my friend, used six PIR motion detectors on his, and his has 12 possible positions, the six sensors, and the in-between ones if two sensors are active at once. He can put this in a field or in a meadow, and "watch" the whole place
Mine uses some RF remote sensors, and I put the receiver in with the Picaxe and servo. I set mine up with six "channels" and that's enough for what I want to do with mine.
I have a working code, and thanks to a post from Hippy about poke $8C,0, I have it running well, and it is low power too, thanks to being able to stop the servo timer or whatever it is...
I have pre-determined positions for the servo to go to, and what I would like to do is, customize the positions, in the field, to suit the needs. Reading on here for how to do it, I did connect a pot to an ADC pin, and I can move the servo with that just fine.
My question is....can I store the positions in the 14M memory, so the servo goes to where I tell it to...and can I do this without writing a new code every time I want to adjust it some??? I bet so...but how and where to start???
