I thought of a quick and dirty way to test how the pan/tilt mount would work with the new car, without having to build the whole support and everything...
That tape is actually pretty sturdy... but I haven't driven it around much. At all actually. There isn't much room and it's late and the car is noisy. But it should be pretty awesome :)
This new car with its 7.2V battery (which after charging is like 8.5V) also means I can run the camera off the same battery, yay! So I don't need an extra battery holder for that. I will also add a MOSFET so that when I turn on the car, it allows current to the camera - so a single switch to turn everything on/off.
I'll record some video from the car camera when I am able to drive it around.
I also need to update that UI - I have the prototype pretty much done, I just have to do the work to put it into the app.
