I would like to add Pan/Tilt to a Tablet to be the Robot Interface

besides the rotation & lever servo i will need: Clip'n'Play Adapter Plate Extension Cube

similar too:

The tablet is 7" and the weight is 370g (0.82 lbs)

some questions/issues:

  1. Tilt servo (Lever Servo) can a EZR HD servo handle 400g ?
  2. I will need a frame similar to (thingiverse):

but with a female EZ-BIT

I'm not familiar with 3d tools, zero "nada" skills!,

  1. anyone did something like that ?

  2. can someone build or adapt an existing frame to support a 7" tablet (119.77 x 196.33 x 15.36 mm) ?

  3. other ideas ?

any help/ideas will be appreciated:)

can you take the backside off? and take small wooden beam and screw it on. put some foam inside over the screws.see pic.

If your tablet has a car mount available, you could screw or glue an EZ mounting plate to the back.

Padholdr are pricey but have holders for almost every brand http://padholdr.com/collections/holders cheaper options available for popular models of tablet.

Not sure if the servos can manage the weight, but you can augment the stress points with springs or elastic.

back:

maybe can be added to:

but it's not good, the servo needs to hold the position in 90 degrees

versus

the adapter below the frame (initial picture).

but so far i didn't found a holder with side brackets, and below and no upper brackets (tablet cameras)

Will this work? If you can print it and verify the size?

Also, i can make a male clipn'play adapter plate.

@DJ,

yes you are on right track, the tablet dimensions are:

horizontal: 196.5 mm vertical: 85 mm (i reduced the size, to allow the usb connector to charge) thickness: 15.5 mm

those measures are the inside of the frame

regarding the clipn'play needs to be a female right ? to connect to lever servo.

wow, thanks!

Next step order the print. I let you know the final result.

Should i print in white to match the EZ bits ? or go with black.
