Testing the future head of Willy – HMD 800 & InertiaCube2 & Gauss Cannon
Test video I made with the future head for Willy (Pioneer3AT).
The base in question is a project that was leaning at home I made for college, specifically for the course Process Control Computer (CPC). It is a gauss gun with laser pointers, its function was to locate a target with lasers and triangulate your position, hence you have two lasers, and the cannon fire a steel projectile was right on the target, the truth worked half as the data acquisition board that we were using could not stand the high voltages that were about 300 volts continuous.
Well the case, I recycled the structure to add it to my final year project to make a kind of head, the barrel will be replaced by a webcam with a wide angle lens.
The control board that I use to move the structure is an scc-32, a controller that allows 32 servos, I'm programming in C + + and I've written a small driver for Player & Stage to use it with the interface PTZ coming in Player , for the moment everything looks good.
Another day I put a video of the gauss gun running.
Greetings.
