Nerf Autonomous Sentry Turret for You
The NASTY project aims at devising an autonomous Raspberry Pi & NERF based sentry gun. Current bill of materials include:
- NERF Stryfe Elite
- Raspberry Pi 3+
- Raspberry Pi Camera v2.1 with 1m extender
- 2 Quimat LDX218 servos with their aluminum bracket for the tilt/pan mechanism
- 5-12v 36w power supply for the servos and NERF
- 5v 15w power supply for the Raspberry
- breadboards and cables
A few tips on what not to do:-)
- don't unplug your raspberry pi during first boot, you'd need to reflash your sd card
- don't short the power supply, you'd melt your Dupont cable (if you're lucky)
- write down the ports you choose for outputs!
