Project 19 (Moderate): Pinpoint Laser Control

I decided to create a fairly simple project which can be expanded. As of now, I can control the laser pointer and make it point it any direction (within the servo motor's limit) by using a joystick.
















Increasing the delay factor will reduce the the motor's speed.

features:
- laser can be adjusted to point in any direction
- controlled by 2 servo motors, the laser can be moved horizontally or vertically
- controlled by 1 joystick
- the servo's speed can be adjusted via 2 buttons. one will reduce the delay time and the other will increase it.
- the current delay time will be displayed on the lcd.
- a locking button can be used to turn on/off the laser





Parts:
- 1x laser light module
- 1x joystick
- 2x servo motors
- 1x RGB lcd (16x2)
- 2x pushbuttons
- 2x 10k ohm resistor
- 1x locking button
- 1x potentiometer










This project will bring me one step closer to building a turret. All I need now is an airsoft gun.
