Thanks for providing this.

You've also reminded me that I only a couple of days left ... best I get mine completed. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c93c7aeb-53c2-49dc-baba-0477189d1fe2/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

It's always interesting developing something, as each step brings new challenges.

What you have done is try to understand each stage, and while there are some unanswered questions, you've identified these for later.

I'm curious if the camera or the Laser determine where you should aim?

Getting the Pixy camera to provide stable results was a challenge as it seems to take at least four consecutive sets of readings taken in quick succession before the image data would stabilise.

This suggests that the camera needs more time than the laser to identify the target, which tends to make the Laser information important.

There is no mention about the power supply.

One of the things we constantly run across is issues whenever a motor is part of a project.

The solution is usually a rather large capacitor across the supply line.

Nano's tend ot have very little onboard power supply filtering, and I suspect you'll find the supply line is quite 'noisy' (electrically).

This may account for spikes and other unexpected results.

Maybe I'll do another design challenge sometime, but not straight away!

Cheers

This has been a good project to follow, well done for getting this far with it.

Kind regards
