ARDUINO CAMERA TURRET SOFTWARE
Any simple image recognition software would work. The laser shoots where the camera shoots. You see before when the laser was attached to the camera, it was pretty simple. The tricky part is automating the system. Wiring up the galvanometers and making some circuitry for them was the easy part. Instead, opted to order a few laser show controllers on eBay, and hack his way to a solution - we approve.

As you can imagine, you can actually build home-made galvanometers - but it’s really not that easy. Now instead of moving the entire robot laser array, he’s using galvanometers to move only the laser - he’s essentially built a mini laser projector.Ī galvanometer is basically a very sensitive ammeter that moves - it can also be used as a very precise electro-mechanical actuator, for say, moving a tiny mirror. It worked pretty well, but this year, he decided to step it up a notch.

Last year, built a laser turret robot for the DEFCONBOTs competition.
