Building a Laser Turret That Actually Works

Using only a couple of servos, a laser module, and some hot glue you can build your own laser turret to annoy your cat.
Congrats to Parallax on the P2 progress. This is my laser salute!
WARNING: Don't shine lasers at eyeballs. Bad things will happen.

Got the same idea

[@okaytree7711]

You have a chill voice and you made the turret fast but understandable.

[@jtreg]

yes really shows his ♀side

[@lawlietzz9467]

What website did he use?

[@chanchalsakarde2768]

Can share code for circles

[@woolfy02]

What is it supposed to do but spazz out?

[@CrisperLime]

Does it still work if you unplug it from the pc?

[@krioulai]

Yes

[@michaelherrmann8180]

Is it possible to make it move slower and smoother? Or do you need other servos for that?

[@Mikro31]

It's easy to do that just make a pause into the Programm and set the hole speed down to like 50%

[@rmvirtual1811]

you can add some sort of sensor and code it to point the laser at movement

[@jtreg]

explain how? With Lidar? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rmvirtual1811]

@@jtreg get a turre. Tape a laser on the turret. Code the sensor to point at any movement it sees so when somebody walks by it will point at the most movement. There are videos on this.

[@chikititus]

the last program left the thing completely full of devil

awful construction. Really not fit for purpose.
