Publishing in a few days how to make yourself this machine. To-do : - endstops contacts on both axis, - illimited rotation (with brush-style contacts) As you can see on the picture I tried with a KINECT used as a 3D-scanner. Can obviously be used in MANY cases and problems (like DRONES DEFENSE with a camera plugged into a RaspberryPi +code ) ... Over and out for now.
This version 0.09 corrects the PAN gears division : 209 / 11 = 19.
You have to 3D-print 19 times the 11 teeth section.
The charge problematic depends on what you are using. The upper bar is for a counter weight, so the Tilt gears can move the charge easier. So, if the charge's center of gravity doesn't match -like for the video projector example- place a counter-weight above it using the Tilt "T arm" and slider part for the counter-weight like on the picture with the Kinect.
3/ you have to program the Arduino : already started and posted on github something similar with the GrippyBot Remote Control and firmware ( which can play a Star Wars music... I let you discover which one... ;P ).
The Arduino+Shield are different from the Arduino Mega 2560 I used on the GrippyBot. But the idea is the same : serial connexion between the Arduino and a computer running Linux (any old laptop would be perfect or a RaspeberryPi).
On the computer : you can plug a joypad (like me with the grippybot showed at Capitol du Libre 2017) or program a more sofisticated system with a camera and image analyze capabilities.

Found a nice .blend backup !

Version 0.09 published.
Clean .blend file.
12 .STL files.
Will post how to build it this week.
my bad,
The central disc is 80cm wide.

If everyone makes this = Status Quo with Drones.
If everyone can defend himself against drones :
Aggressive Drones turn to be useless,
Which would be cool.
(of course there's still a lot of work to point a powerfull laser with precision on a incoming drone, I'm not saying it's easy)
Gears could be multiplied
Obviously :
1/ you can SCALE -up or down- this.
2/ make your own gears in function of the charge.
3/ you have to program the Arduino : already started and posted on github something similar with the GrippyBot Remote Control and firmware ( which can play a Star Wars music... I let you discover which one... ;P ).
