Robotic Camera Turret Controlled by Wii Nunchuk via Arduino Uno!



Been VERY busy this last week.  I explored a little deeper into how to manipulate the real world using the Arduino Uno and a couple of servos.  The control is the 3-axis accelerometer from from a Wii game system. The remote actually does have a thumb controlled Joystick on top and although the video does not show it, I can swith over using the "C" button and control the turret using the joystick. The "Z" button rapidly lights a blue LED.

Arduino Mega 2560 + Raspberry Pi experimental platform

First experiment with a mobile platform using the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino mega 2560.  The kit comes from Sainsmart.com and is a very basic starter kit with the mega 2560, motor driver board and the sensor shield as well as most of the car parts themselves. I purchased them from Amazon.com for about $80 each.  Not bad when the Mega alone sells for $60+ bucks.
