My base plate came in today and it fits like a glove. I do not have a slip ring yet so I took one of my extra batteries and put Velcro on the bottom of it. Then I used a bungee cord to strap it down to the plate. Now my dome can turn 360 degrees while having power in the dome. I soldered some wires on to one of my PICAXE18 boards and put in a simple servo movement program. I then tested it to make sure it worked before installing it in the dome. I also attached some other wires for opening doors which i will connect up later. I used Velcro on the unit and attached it just above the front logics. Placing the servo where I wanted it i temporarily used Velcro to hold it down I used some thin but rigid wire and connected the servo and the holoeye together. Here is a short video of the holoeye movement I have programed in.
I did not want it to fast and erratic but this might be a bit to slow LOL, I will make some other programs and try them out till i find one i like.
