Arduino / Wii controlled Lego Star Wars rocket turret

An Arduino board receives data from a Wii Nunchuck and sends it to hree servos: x, y and trigger. An independent laser has been added for targeting. Currently very wobbly because of the cheap servos used.

Step 1 Construction

The rocket turret was built using available Lego pieces around a "trigger" servo. A twitch of the servo when the Z button is pressed on the Wii nunchuck pushes the rocket trigger back, firing it. The base of the trigger servo is attached to x and y servos in a pan/tilt mechanism from Lynxmotion: http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build153.htm

Please read step 3 carefully. It looks like you didn't add the includes correctly.

2 solutions:
1. try using version 23 for the Arduino Software.
2. Tell the author of this tutorial to try and fix the code.

Thats pretty cool man. Definitely needs better servos though!
