I intend to use this to control the direction of a light bulb, as opposed to the more typical uses such as camera or airplane. The SPT100 can be hung upside down per spec - exactly what I need!
The project will be developed in phases:
1. Start with one pan & tilt and write/test code to control it using raspberry pi with a servo controller if necessary.
2. Separately plan/design the bulb dimming and color control. Do I:
- use a packaged solution - such as the super expensive and feature-rich Philips Hue - or
- design a limited version myself (good enough for a garage) with a cheaper RGBW led bulb
4. Scale: What if I wanted 6 bulbs in a room, all individually controlled by the pi?
5. Installation planning: Track lighting system is one possibility to explore
