ECE 362 Mini Project

It is that time of year again when ECE 362 students buckle down and use all their microcontroller knowledge to build a thing. This year four brave souls will endeavor to design an automatic nerf turret.

Meet the Team

  • Josh Hunsberger
  • Will McGrath
  • Reed Erekson
  • Matt Scuderi

Meet the Project

  • 180 degree field of view
  • Automatic panning
  • Automatic anomaly detection
  • Automatic firing
  • Nerf gun: Vulcan
  • Microcontroller: Motorola HCS12

Currently Implemented Features

  • A servo motor turns the base of the gun with the stabilizing help of a Lazy Susan
  • Code that tells the turret to pan back and forth
  • Soldered power wires to shoot the Nerf gun from outside the gun
  • Basic sensor code that reads sensor input data
