Smart Arduino Turret

thingiverse

This project is a course project for the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona's Robotics, Language and Learning subject I'm coursing on my Informatics Engineering graduate. I also made available the final sprint report with all the information needed to get this running :) This is an Arduino-based stationary robot that scans for targets within a short radius and shoots projectiles. The project uses more than one Arduino boards connected through the I2C protocol to handle various tasks. I printed a case for the Arduino uno made by thingiverse user ZygmuntW. The code is hosted in my github repository [link](https://github.com/drkztan/Smart-Arduino-Turret), along the instructions to set your own turret up :) The total cost of the project is around 90€ (this is including the approximate cost of the PLA I used to print the parts) depending where you get your parts, and around 40€ extra on top of that if you decide to get the neomatrix and 16 channel PWM I2C board from adafruit instead of a "clone". The parts list is as follows: > - Arduino Nano > - Arduino UNO R3 > - HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor > - MG996 Servomotor (2x) > - SG90 Servomotor (2x) > - 8x8 WS2812B LED matrix > - M3 x 10 screws > - M3 x 15 screws > - M3 nuts > - M3 brass nuts (for embedding in the larger holes on the base) > - M2 x 10 screws (to attach the servomotors to the arm, base and tray) > - 5V power source capable of giving out more than 4A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4fSrtVZ4v0
