<p>Protect yourself with this badass desktop laser turret.<br/> Hit every Cornea of your enemy thanks to the depth tracking in Kinect.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Preview: <a href="http://youtu.be/5igo_fVqvLI">http://youtu.be/5igo\_fVqvLI</a><br/> Working: <a href="http://youtu.be/tMSnQYZAMJc">http://youtu.be/tMSnQYZAMJc</a><br/> Remember to use protection goggles based on your laser wavelength!</p> <h3> Instructions</h3> <ol> <li>The laser adaptor works with any cheap DX.com laser, the current one is a 200 mW green laser but tweaked (internal potentiometer). Sketchup files are included if you need to tweak the adaptor, the hole is for the cable of the laser module. </li> <li>Print and assemble the turret. I used epoxy adhesive to assemble the servo clips on the printed pieces. </li> <li>Arduino Code (Servo handling): <a href="https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect/blob/master/Arduino/LaserTurretKinect.ino">https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect/blob/master/Arduino/LaserTurretKinect.ino</a> </li> <li>Kinect Code (in progress, Head tracking uses the MS SDK, I am still thinking on making an auto calibration routine, i.e. finding a flashing laser dot or just a manual calibration): <a href="https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect/tree/master/Binaries">https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect/tree/master/Binaries</a><br/> Sourcecode: <a href="https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect">https://github.com/eried/LaserTurretKinect</a></li> </ol>
