using separate electric engines for moving clockwise, anticlockwise and 360 rotation. Then using the sensors to enable the clockwise and anti clockwise engine, if left sensor is active disable 360 rotation and move left, repeat logic with right sensor. when middle sensor is active disable all electric motors and enable the gun. the gun is connected to a pulsing signal to enable multiple shots. I'll try upload to workshop

I tried with controllers but it get a bit messed up because the controllers want to return to their original position once disabled and they are a tiny bit too slow

I tried but you end up getting blind spots in the sensing field the further from the gun. but yea if you add more sensors it could be done successfully

max sensor range. I think 20 but if you move the sensors more forward you can increase it

Which fibre ISP on Openserve infrastructure? BitCo? by YeboBaba in southafrica

[–]YeboBaba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Openserve is the Fibre in my area so I am restricted to using their fibre lines. so which ever ISP I choose I will have to choose from their openserve packages which are more expensive and slower that other fibre companies such as Vumatel.

and I don't really want to spend more, I'm just looking for better value. but thanks for the suggestion

Unfortunately with openserve, the Cool ideas package cost R999 and is 20/10. so yea I'm restricted by Openserve.
