I'm working on a turret that doesn't require a laptop for operation. This of course means that the turret won't be as advanced when it comes to targeting.
This turret will run on the Arduino Uno R3.
The reason why I'm not using a more advanced board is because I'm trying to focus on a more simplistic, inexpensive schematic.
Here's the list of things I'm using for this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1x Arduino board
1x Ping Distance Detector (Used for left-to-right or right-to-left targeting)
1x PCB
1x Electric Airsoft Mechanism
1x Power N-Channel MOSFET
??? (A section to fill in for stuff I probably forgot to put in this list)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I haven't thought everything through. This is mostly being improvised, so I imagine that there's probably a TON to fix and add.
I'm just throwing this idea out there. Yes, I know that it's been done before, but I'd like some input. I'm a rookie, after all.
