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.

I think it needs motion tracking.

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.

I used dc motors and programmed in order to control with pwm signals

Re: Computer Controlled Gun System
 

why not use a microcontroller?

what software and hardware are you using? mind sharing the source?

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.. =)
