If you have questions about the programing, just ask me. but you can do it just by following the examples very easily.

If you want to know how to wire up the indicator LEDs or decorative LEDs, follow my other instructable. Or any other one of the trillions of guides out there.

Happy Teleshooting!

can it be controlled without needing a computer on-site?

 I am building an exoskeleton to mount airsoft guns on as "armor". Could this be mounted on a shoulder of an armor suit made of sheet metal? If so, how much does it weigh?

Nice!

I think the best choice you have is to use a "Pan and Tilt" mechanism and attach it directly to the Airsoft Gun's body.

It requires only two servos and the firing signal.

Lynxmotion has some sweet pre-made "Pan and Tilt" assemblies.

As for the weight, it depends on the servos, the mechanism's material and the gun.

Good luck!

could you make a vid or something :))

[Miltron_B]

Sadly, the gun turret died in acction before any vid could be made. It was just too much fun playing with it to bother filming it!

this confuses me ? :o

2 things that would make this machine even more awesome: 1. support with bluetooth or peer to peer wifi so it could be used with smartphones or mini laptops in the heat of battle up to 100 feet away, and 2. a set of wheels and some motors to make it portable. Awesome invention!

Hey mate! Glad you liked it. This is actually controlled by a PC already, so you just need another laptop and VNC in both machines. This way you can controll it half around the world! Making it a mobile BB tank would be awesome indeed though.
