So its been ages since i last blogged, and i am determined to try do this more regularly since it will probably get me onto doing more stuff!

This is pretty much the first thing i built with the Arduino – the idea was to make a budget IPCam with a web interface that i could connect to from anywhere and have the ability to pan and tilt my camera. Since i was in the budget price range i did also look at what was available off the shelf — and it sucks, bad quality, slow response time, no lose wires to show, all things i’m not really interested in.

I’ve split this into 3 sections just to make sure that this doesnt become a massively long blogpost:

• The Physical Section – the base, stand and circuit
• The Arduino Section – the code to make it do what i want
• The PHP Interface – the web interface to use with the IPCam – soon!

This is that cool part where you watch the video, unfortunately i haven’t got round to making one yet.. but when i do, its going here! For now, its in pictures (the webinterface and the actual device):

So i’ve commented most of the lines and you should be able to easily follow what has happened in the code. Leave a comment if there are any questions :)

Code after the break!
