Targets are tracked with a webcam using Processing and a bit of code from Project Sentry Gun. Of course a stock Nerf gun would be fairly boring, so increased both the voltage going to the gun’s motor and the strength of the gun by replacing a 2kg spring with a 5kg spring. The azimuth and elevation mount for the gun is made out of plywood, with each axis controlled by a single servo attached to an Arduino. She may have the upper hand in this war, because her Nerf Vulcan sentry gun is both incredibly powerful and is able to be operated autonomously with a webcam featuring a friend or foe identification system. made the mistake of getting her friends into Nerf weaponry, and so began the race to mutually secured destruction via foam darts. It’s a pretty cool project, and has even released the source code for it if you’re interested in building your own - check it out in action, after the break!Ĭontinue reading “Angry Birds Sentry Gun Has Pigs Flying” → Posted in Arduino Hacks Tagged sentry gun The target is an Angry Birds toy play set made for kids. The firing mechanism however is a micro (9g) servo, which can release the elastic and shoot the projectile. The loading mechanism is manual, using elastic bands to launch the projectile. The sentry gun uses two servo motors to control up and down, and left and right. He’s using an Arduino Mega at the heart of the project, which controls the servos and reads information off of the sonar sensors. It consists of two parts: The sentry gun itself and a sonar detection tower which can tell if you’ve successfully knocked down the pigs or not. Not wanting to do another boring cookie-cutter project out of the textbook, he decided to do something different - he’s built an Arduino controlled sentry gun! If you’d rather shoot paintballs, be careful you don’t accidentally repaint the insides of your cube.Ĭontinue reading “Arduino Powered Rubber Band Sentry Turret Is Not A Lie” → Posted in 3d Printer hacks, Arduino Hacks, Weapons Hacks Tagged arduino, office warfare, rubber band blaster, sentry gun But here at Hackaday HQ, we have lots of rubber bands and not so many green pigs.
Sentry gun Bluetooth#
You probably have a WiFi FPV camera on your quadcopter that finally came out of that tree and there’s lots of ways to do the controls via Bluetooth or WiFi. On the other hand, if you got the gun working, adding the remote wouldn’t be hard at all. We couldn’t help but wish for a first person view (FPV) camera and control via a cell phone, so you could snipe at those ice cream thieves while hiding in the broom closet.
The build details are a bit sparse, but there is a bill of material and that, combined with the 3D printing files and the videos, should allow you to figure it out.
Sentry gun software#
The video shows manually aiming the gun, but the software can operate the gun autonomously, if you add some sensors to the hardware. You’ll also need some metric hardware, an Arduino Uno, and a handful of servo motors. Thanks to, if you have an Arduino and a 3D printer, you can build a rubber band sentry gun to protect your geeky comestibles. Do you place it in front of the Superstore entrance to deal with any opponents attempting to make an escape? Perhaps you place it on a rooftop to deal maximum damage onto the enemies below? Regardless of location, the Warzone Sentry Gun is guaranteed to make an impact.You know that guy in the next cube is sneaking in when you are away and swiping packs of astronaut ice cream out of your desk. Once acquired, it's down to you as to where you want to deploy it. It isn't always guaranteed but it is much simpler to use the Red Doors rather than spend most of a match hunting for a Legendary box! As an alternative, the Killstreak will appear as an extremely rare loot drop inside Legendary supply boxes.Ī sure-fire way of finding one of the supply boxes is by taking a trip through one of Warzone's Red Doors where a Sentry Gun may appear. Unlike other Killstreaks, the Sentry Gun cannot be purchased from one of the many Buy Stations located around the map. It will certainly be interesting to see how its addition will be received by players. It's highly likely that players will be able to place a Sentry Gun on rooftops, within buildings, or at the top of a zipline where the potential of scoring kills is incredibly high. UAVs reveal the location of any nearby enemies, Precision Airstrikes and Cluster Strikes deal devastating damage on a specific area of the map, and the addition of the Sentry Gun could well spark a change in the Killstreak metagame. Since the release of Warzone, Killstreaks have been used by players in all kinds of ways in order to get an advantage over the opposition.
