Hi Everyone,
I’m in desprate need to create the following I’m willing to pay $$$ for help to acomplish this asap for my local church.
I need to create a Turret Camera to follow a GPS transmitter. I have seen this done and i tried to google it but the closest I came across to was this https://sites.google.com/site/easyproductionsproject/ but im a newbie and its missing some steps on it.
PLEASE HELP!!! AGAIN IM WILLING TO PAY FOR A TRUE STEP BY STEP instruction.
Maybe theirs a better solution then GPS
Thank you, all
First off, I can help (in concept at least) but why would you need that? for fun yeah, but why for a church? sounds crazy.
Anyways…
Easiest method.
First you need 2 gps modules, one for the tracker, one for the item being tracked, also a digi-compass would be good for the tracker.
In a nutshell, you can get the gps location of the item, and the tracker, and use trig to determine the angles between the points.
You then take the data points for both locations and mathematically analyze it to determine triangles based on those points.
I think one triangle per dimension should do, (never done it , but think that sounds like a precise way)
1 triangle based on altitude. to determine angle downward or upward.
1 triangle based on north, the tracker location and the item location.
and simply factor in raw distance to determine the side of the triangle you need to work with.

the left side would be altitude difference, the bottom line would represent straight line distance, the hypotenuse/angle would be what you solved for via trig to determine the angle to view )up/down.
and then a triangle from your location to north and the items location too. and bam. about done.
Good luck.
If you do this its gonna rule.
