Computer Controlled Gun System

Hi everyone , I made a new project and I hope that you'll find it worth to see.
It can be controlled by keyboard or buttons in control program.

Re: Computer Controlled Gun System

I think it needs motion tracking.

Re: Computer Controlled Gun System

Open loop systems are virtually impossible to control properly. I can't tell from the video what you're using for drive. If you use stepper motors, properly controlled, you can control both your position and speed. If you use permanent magnet DC motors you can derive speed directly from the drive circuit. This allows you to control the speed and the acceleration. If you do that precisely enough, you can derive position. If not, you can always add a resolver or something.

I certainly commend you on your attempt. You might want to read about feedback, motor control systems/servos, and the like.

Re: Computer Controlled Gun System

This is a very cool project. I am excited to learn how you did this.

Q: Did you use C++ or another language?

Q: How long did it take you to write software and build the unit?

Q: How much did it cost?

Q: What are your plans for future projects?

Re: Computer Controlled Gun System

yes I used
writing software took my a day , but building 10-15 days
almost 300$
I finished my new project.. I a few minutes ,I'll open a thread.. =)
