Laser Projector – Phase 1

Laser Projector – Phase 1

So I had this concept the other day – if I put a couple of servos on a laser module and drive it all with my Arduino, then I can take more than the world use my camera to take a extended exposure photograph of the wall the light is projected onto.

How challenging can it be?

That gizmo on the left with the green light is an Arduino Uno prototyping board, it is sitting on a &quotbreadboard&quot wiring aparatus and these coloured wires are connecting bits of the arduino to the power and signal pins on the two servo motors on the correct.

The program is to mount the laser on leading of the quicker moving of the two servos – this offers me full X and Y manage of the laser beam.

DeLorean (once more) RHD (once more)

One more one of the right hand drive, euro-spec &quotprototype&quot automobiles. Slightly faster than the american vehicles, becoming devoid of the energy-strangling emissions controls, and sitting on suitable, decrease euro suspension, rather than the virtually 4×4-esque US security hight springs, these vehicles are probably the most desirable of all DeLoreans.

If I am remembering my DeLorean Details (TM) appropriately, this is one particular of three vehicles (AXI 1697-1699) that had been converted by the factory in Dunmurry, NI, rather than the rest that were converted by Wooler-Holdec more than right here in the UK for testing/prototyping. This specific vehicle is the only auto of the 3, generating it fundamentally the only one particular of it is kind in the planet (I know, woo). It may have been JZD’s personal car when he was in NI – I know one of the three was.

These vehicles would have gone on sale late 83 or early 84 had the business not gone beneath. They had been creating very good, solid cars at that point and these enhanced models miiight just have been adequate to save the firm (but possibly not).

Formerly of the Chris Parnham collection, no concept whose it is now.
