Motioneye: Feature request: pan-tilt control

[yanoschik]

Great work!
And it would be awesome if there was a simple way to control a simple pan-tilt setup from the UI ...
Like using/interfacing pi-blaster, ServoBlaster, or similar. Here's one (outdated) example: RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_ServoBlaster_pan_tilt.
Thanks

I've created a _temporary_ solution ... a set of scripts which can be called by the action buttons.
See here: PiPan Cam

Edit:
Would it be possible to add more action buttons with arrow pictures for this purpose?
Edit2:
Arrow buttons coming soon :) here

Zoom in/out buttons will also be included in the next release, coming out today.

Thanks!

If anyone is interested in another updated option, I've added my pan tilt scripts here:
https://github.com/sfgabe/custom_scripts/tree/master/motioneye_scripts/pan-tilt

It's fully 3D printable (link in the readme) and uses the pigpio library, which I've found to be more reliable for cheap micro servos.

Hi Catalin, I am using MotionEye OS 20190427. Sorry to ask like an idiot: There is instructions for pan-tilt buttons somewhere?
Multumesc,
Adrian

@yo3hjv you won't get pan/tilt controls out-of-the-box with motionEye. But if you know how to control them via HTTP requests or any other programmable method, you can use Action Buttons to implement such a functionality yourself.
