@Erco,

I have made a line following platform so that I can place a camera tripod on it. The camera is suppose to point towards a static subject wile it is moving around it in a somewhat circular manner.
It is therefore that the camera has to turn around its axis in order to keep view on the subject as stable as posible.
So, I planned to put a beacon of some kind, 2 feet above the subject. Then I need a sensing device about 2 feet above the camera. the sensor should keep the camera pointing towards the subject by means of a stepper or servo motor build under the camera on the tripod. I have a stepper motor, a servo motor I have to purchase if i would use it.
In a post from Erco in an other thread, I found maybe a possible solution (here the post) http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?30093-Steering-a-dolly-by-means-of-a-black-line-lt&p=312320&viewfull=1#post312320 )
I like the one with the 38 or 56 Khz beacon.
I suppose 2 sensors on top off the camera and one beacon above the object.
Question: what would the code look like? would it be similar of a line follower?
Thanks,
Willy
