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
