Bluetooth Nerf Gun Turret
By Andrew Gregory. Posted
This article was originally published as part of HackSpace magazine, which has since been incorporated into Raspberry Pi Official Magazine.
This security-conscious build is a completely 3D-printed Nerf gun turret, controllable by the user over Bluetooth. It uses an Arduino Nano to control two servers (for tilt and pan); two DC motors to fire the darts, and there’s a servo to push the darts into the rollers when the order to fire is given.
Make beautiful beats with the complete Raspberry Pi music production toolkit.
Kevin Drouglazet’s written Windows and Android versions of the control software; just move the cursor on your screen to control the turret and keep pesky kids off your lawn.
The software, bill of materials, and design files for the 3D-printed parts are all available from Kevin’s website, so anyone can make their own version.
Features Editor Andrew trawls the internet for Cool Stuff while keeping the magazine running smoothly.
