tank / turret

Here’s my version of an Arduino / Lego NXT powered tank (and turret) using this I2C camera:

Not exactly what you’re looking for, as it’s using IR LED as target, but similar concept of having a turrent equipped with this camera to follow something…

I think Gareth has done some

I think Gareth has done some experiments with laser pointer and Wiimote, look here. My experiences wasn’t good. Only on a short distance the Wiimote could detect the reflected light of the laser pointer from a white wall.

Hello Peter, My name is

Hello Peter, My name is Gilberto Gonzalez and I’m very familiar with all of RobotFreak’s work, which I would like to say, it’s truly inspiring. I’m working on an open hardware proyect with Arduino and I was wondering if you could share with me the Gerber File Format you used for your proyect in letsmakerobots called “Wii IR camera as standalone sensor”; https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/7752 

I would really appreciate it Peter, Thank you in advance. Have a merry christmas!

Hello Gilberto,sorry, I

Hello Gilberto,

sorry, I don’t have any Gerber Files for this project 
1. I have only created the schematic and a pro-forma PCB layout, because I only made a breadboard design. 
2. I don’t have made a Wii IR camera component. 
The only thing I can give you the link to the eagle design files from the original ATM18 project. 
http://www.cczwei.de/atm18_downloads/ATM18_Wii_Remote_IR_Sensor.zip
You can build the Gerber files with eagle from the PCB layout by yourself. I have no glue, how to do this, because I have never build any PCB by myself.
Best regards 
Peter
