Arduino Experimental Kit - Laser turrent

This is the source code for an arduino experimental kit for building a target finding laser turrent using:

• Arduino Leonardo
• 5v laser module
• IR receiver
• Servo motor

For more information, see https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/

Setting up tools

Start by downloading and installing the Arduino IDE from here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

• Open the IDE
• Select Manage libraries from the menu
  
• Search for IRremote and click on Install
  
• Select the the example program Blink from File > Examples > 01. Basics > Blink
• Connect your Arduino
• Go to the menu Tools > Boards and select Arduino Leonardo
• Go to the menu Tools > Port and select the port for your Arduino
• Click on the button Upload and the program should be installed on your Arduino

Installing the programs

When you verified that you can upload a program to the Arduino, continue by running these programs:

• 1_Laser - A simple program showing how to turn on and off the laser
• 2_ServoSweep - A program showing how to control the servo motor
• 3_IR - A program to read from a remote control
• 4_RandomServos - A program moving the servos randomly
• 5_Turrent - A program to control two servos using a remote control
