GPIO Pins Utilised by Pan-Tilt HAT - https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pan_tilt_hat

Ideal for a mini-CCTV system, or mount a set of eyes on it to make a friendly robot out of it, this set of horizontal and vertical motion servos will give you movement with a minimum of fuss. Perfect for so many applications and projects this set of horizontal and vertical motion servos will let you rotate through 180 degrees in both axes. It clips in perfectly with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 and any other module which has a similar form factor, letting you keep the action in frame. The Hat's onboard micro controller and cleaver packages let you independently drive the two servos (pan and tilt) very simply, as well as powering up to 24 regular LED or NeoPixel RGB LEDs. There's also a handy slot through which you can route the servo, LED, and camera cables elegantly through the PCB.
