Gimbal

The 2 DOF gimbal mechanism is operated by 2 geared servo motors. An Arduino is used to send a PWM signal to move the motors. A python script has been developed to interface with the Arduino and aim the nozzle to x,y coordinates on the ground (utilising the inverse kinematics of the system).

Note that the z and x servos can only rotate 270 and 180 degrees respectively.
