Servos

Wednesday, 21 November 2012 Category : , , 0

Two micro servos were sourced from previous projects, and the prototype system was set up with the laser as can be seen below.
The laser is attached to the top y axis servo, with that servo itself attached to the x axis servo underneath.  These are then controlled and powered through the Arduino.  The red and black wires of the servos are connected to 5V and ground respectively, with the white (yellow in the diagram below)  wire connected to the digital PWM port used for control.  In the prototype, pins 9 and 10 on the Arduino are used.

Fine Control of Firing Device

Tuesday, 30 October 2012 Category : , , 0

This system should allow the user to move the firing device in small increments after positioning the robot.  An illustration of the movement can be seen below.  This movement can either be on the x axis or on the y axis, turning the device horizontally or vertically.
FINE CONTROL OF FIRING DEVICE
Using this system it will be possible to alter difficulty by limiting range of movement therefore forcing user to move robot, or speed of movement.
