This is, a 2 axis (pan and tilt) Wi-Fi/internet remotely controlled robot. Completely OPEN SOURCE (all the design files and control code are fully available for everyone to modify or adapt it to its needs) and with a 3D printed frame. It can hold: small cameras, laser pointers, flashlights, toy guns, a stick…. Everything you want to move or point to.

This 3D printed laser/torch/camera pointer has been created using common and affordable elements from the 3D printed World (NEMA 17 motors, Linear bearings, timing belts...)

The idea was to create a reliable, fast, modifiable and accurate "pointer" robot. Fix to this robot a small camera, webcam, flashlight, sensor... and control it remotely. The Python code will let you move the robot, autonomously, following pre-set movement patterns with precision.

Convert it into a remotely operated webcam:

Control it using a Xbox/ PS4 controller:

The control APP has been created with Python

Take a look at it: Laser pointer 3D interactive model

We have written a detailed assembly guide.

Arduino and Python code can be found on its project webpage : https://www.jjrobots.com/remotely-controlled-laser-pointer/

The control code has been written in PYTHON, and it has been thoroughly explained and commented for easy understanding. There are several control examples here

All the links to code, videos, specifications, assembly guide...etc can be found here: https://www.jjrobots.com/remotely-controlled-laser-pointer/

NEW!: Added Xbox/PS4 controller. Now you can control the laser pointer robot using your PS4/Xbox controller

If you want to save the hassle of getting the different elements from different sources and want them all fast, create your own custom Robotic KIT here (and add what you really need)

This robot uses the same electronics and motors you would need to create the:
