ESP32 Wi-Fi pan-tilt mount with web sliders: design worksheet and code
A ₹1,390 design worksheet for a two-servo pan-tilt mount steered from a phone web page served by an ESP32, with a separate…
Robotics projects that work on demo day, parts lists in rupees, and fixes for the error on your screen right now.
278 guides 92 part guides 18 build sheets ₹ costs in rupees, labelled as illustrations
Masses assumed: upper link 45 g, elbow servo 55 g, forearm 35 g, gripper 60 g. Torque is static holding torque in kg·cm. Size your own servo
Price ranges are illustrations from Indian listings, never presented as quotes or surveys.
Worked examples show inputs, units and equations, so you can reproduce the result.
Product numbers come from manufacturer documentation, not from search snippets.
A bench-tested claim needs dated measurements. Without them, a guide is educational.

Error Doctor · runs in your browser
Copy the red text from the Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF or your ROS terminal. You get the likely causes, most common first, and the fix in order.
The Error Doctor needs JavaScript. You can still search the tutorials for your error.
Quick check
A servo arm holds 300 g at 20 cm. What torque does it need, before any safety margin?
Pick one. The working shows after you choose.
Why the doctor is honest
No match? It writes a question you can paste into your own AI assistant, with your error filled in and the gaps marked. Nothing you paste leaves this page.
Two front doors
Students and makers
Projects by budget and branch, parts that work together, and fixes for the error that stopped you at 2 a.m.
Factories and plant engineers
Robot cells and cobots in an Indian context, what to ask before you call an integrator, and the roles that run them.
Workbench
Each one shows its formula. “Copy to report” adds the working and the source line for you.
Calculator · servo torque

My Build · checked before you buy
Tick what you plan to use. The checker looks for logic-level clashes, power problems and missing parts, then estimates current draw, run time and cost.
The build checker needs JavaScript. The battery run time calculator covers the power side.
Current figures are typical values for these modules. Costs are illustrative Indian retail ranges, not quotes; check the seller’s price before you buy.
The library
Each project page opens with the parts total, the bench time and the skill level — before the steps. If it does not fit your budget, you know in ten seconds.

Straight answers
Every guide is checked against component datasheets and known-good reference designs, and the code is compiled before publishing. A build marked Bench-tested has been assembled and measured on a real bench; that badge appears only when it is true. Each page shows the date it was last reviewed.
Parts only, in Indian rupees, at a reliable listing we found when the page was last reviewed. Shipping, tools and consumables such as solder, wire and tape are called out separately where they change the total.
Yes, but check your university's rules first. The final-year route covers scope, report structure, costing and viva questions. It cannot guarantee approval, originality or marks.
No. We publish the parts list and link to stores we would order from ourselves. Some links are affiliate links, which may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
Start with the four-week beginner route: pick a board, build a line follower, then add obstacle detection. You need no prior electronics, but you do need a multimeter, a breadboard and patience.
