# Pan-Tilt HAT
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pan-tilt-hat
Pan-Tilt HAT is a two-channel servo driver designed to control a tiny servo-powered Pan/Tilt assembly. It also controls either PWM-dimmed lights or WS2812 pixels; up to 24 RGB or 18 RGBW.
## Installing
### Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Pan-Tilt HAT
up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
```bash
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/pantilthat | bash
```
### Manual install:
Enable i2c:
```bash
sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
```
Install the library:
```bash
python3 -m pip install pantilthat
```
ℹ️ Depending on your system, you might need to use `sudo` for the above command.
### Development:
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, `cd` to the library directory, and run:
```bash
sudo python3 setup.py install
```
(or `sudo python setup.py install` whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus.
## Breakout Header Pinout
The breakout header on Pan Tilt HAT is connected directly to the GPIO pins.
Below is a map of the breakout functions and corresponding BCM pins:
| SDA | SCL | TX | RX | PWM | MOSI | MISO | SCLK | CEO |
| --- | --- | -- | -- | --- | ---- | ---- | ---- | --- |
| 2 | 3 | 14 | 15 | 18 | 10 | 9 | 11 | 8 |
