You should make it talk like the turrets in the game Portal. That would be awesome.

@japunto I'm thinking of a pan & tilt system here, and am trying to figure out how it would sweep up/down AND left/right, while still picking up targets accurately.

@kaondagurka because they jelly

why are people dislike this video its freaking awsome

@japunto you could try using array of "safe lengths" for let's say 10 different degrees of rotation. I think. But I don't have arduino yet, so who knows. It wouldn't be as good as camera, but still pretty neat.

Hey, I've got an Arduino, and was wondering what shields you used for the motors, and where you got the motors themselves. A diagram or look-over of the setup would be great. Thanks!

@Cydiawesome Hi, I'm using two Arduino boards (ran out of pins on the first, used serial to talk between the two) have an Adafruit motor shield for the turret motor, a Ping sensor for distance, a 7-Segment shield to display the distance, a small relay board I built to close the trigger circuit, and a couple of ScrewShields to help wire it all up.
I posted on the MAKE blog as I built it, check the page linked in the description for more info, photos.

@Cydiawesome Oh, and the turret motor is listed as 24 VDC gear motor w/ turntable at allelectronics . com, just do a search.

@Rnakata808 no, that dosnt exist, the arduino can't handle buffering images from a camera

@123456789robbie Yeah, the people I've seen tracking images have used a PC instead of a microcontroller.

can you adjust the sensor to make this thing functional...?
When you perfect this technology, I want you make me one with a tennisball machine!

@waterkeeper03 Yes. It calibrates to the first object it sees, calling that the "safe" distance. As soon as something comes closer it shoots. Range on sensor is 2cm to 3 meters.
