PROJECT 10: JOYSTICK-CONTROLLED LASER

IN THIS PROJECT WE CREATE A JOYSTICK-CONTROLLED LASER BY CONNECTING TWO SERVOS TO A JOYSTICK AND USING THIS SETUP AS A PAN-AND-TILT CONTROLLER FOR A LASER POINTER.

PARTS REQUIRED

• Arduino

• Breadboard

• Jumper wires

• 2 Tower Pro SG90 9g servomotors

• Analog five-pin, two-axis joystick module

• Pan-and-tilt housing module

LIBRARIES REQUIRED

• Servo
