This document is also available as a PDF document.

1. Introduction

The ScanPanel module is meant to be attached to a standard servo arm to provide a convenient location to attach other modules for scanning purposes.

Servo arms typically have 3 or 4 holes in a row on each arm. These holes are typically spaced 3 millimeters apart. The initial distance from the center of the servo arm is not standardized. In order to accomadate as many different servo arms as possible, the ScanPanel modules has three sets of holes as shown in the table below:

Angles (degrees) Hole distances
30, 210 6, 9, 12, 15
90, 270 7, 10, 13, 16
150, 330 8, 11, 14, 17
Using a cross style horn, the holes should line up one of the hole sets above.
