Raspberry Pi/ESP8266 01 - web cam pan and tilt with blynk

Thought some of you might be interested in the little project I put together to help me pan and tilt my Pi web cam.

Some people say the RasPi isn’t so good for controlling servos. Also, when using the popular motionEyeOS img on the Pi, it’s much more complicated (for me at least!) to use the Pi GPIO ports.

I solved the problem with an ESP8266 01, a $2 pan & tilt platform, and a couple of servos.
