Hi all, I actually found a solution, which seems will suit my need, so I'm posting it here - maybe someone will like it. First you'll need to buy a special board to convert nicelly flat ribbon for Raspberry camera to a gpio output (yes). I've found one here: http://www.bitwizard.nl/cat/product_info....

Hi,

Thank you for suggestion - I also thought about it, but to be honest it's kind of crutch, because it makes camera and rotation bulky and heavy...

Hi all, I'm trying to find a solution in creating a 360 degree free rotating camera. The main problem is of course - ribbon cable, due to after a couple of turns it will obviously become a problem. I've discovered Slip Rings and they seems to fit idea nicely, but they all have no ribbon cables, but ...

Actually the solution you looking for exists now! So funding campaign was successful and you can buy a fully functional module!
Simply use Ivmech:

Hi,

Thanks a lot it did work wel!!!
Thank you very much!! Will see if I can drive servos without any additional Adafruit Board!

PS: I've just found a strange notice from another post here about "sed" command - it's a kind of "grep" - search and find text.

Hm, sounds strange,, I've run an upgrade again to make sure I've a latest one, like I mentioned befor it was 3.2.27+ and after it's the same 3.2.27+ Here is output: --- git clone git://github.com/richardghirst/PiBits.git Cloning into 'PiBits'... remote: Counting objects: 34, done. remote: Compressin...

Hi,

I was trying to follow the instructions, but got error message:
Error: could not insert module servoblaster.ko: Invalid module format

Here is information about my kernel:
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #143 PREEMPT Tue Sep 11 02:02:37 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

Well, thanks for reply, first of all. But I didn't actually expect any answer, because it was kinda sharing an updates/upgrades I got. So making it simple, yes, you can control a lot of DC/Servo motors using some small extensions for Raspberry, for example I'm using "Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit ...

Well, after a while I figured out 1 PWM output of Raspberry is not an option for controlling robots. So I continued my search and... got a very beautiful solution from Adafruit.com: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16-channel-servo-driver-with-raspberry-pi/ Size of the extra board is really small ...

Hi, I was just about to give up on my idea to use Raspberry as a heart and brain for my robot project, but randomly found your post! It looks like it's exactly what I needed to make my robot move and even add a servo to move it's camera using Linux, not real-time OS! If I may ask - did you accomplis...

Hi,

Thank you very much, it did work! Thanks a lot! Now next steps
Thanks again!

Hi all, I've an idea about creating a wheeled robot with webcam controlled over internet using RPI as it's main board. At the moment I'm stacked trying to make my robot move. I've got Sabertooth 2X12 R/C connected to motors and powered up also I've go Raspberry Pi up and running, but I've no clue ho...
