XYZ Laser Turret

This project lets you build a laser turret controlled by a C# Forms app.

Features:

• Aim in 3D (X, Y, Z) with two servo motors
• User-friendly C# Forms interface for control
• Optional laser activation (low-power, Class 1 or 1M only)

Hardware:

• Arduino Uno (or compatible)
• 2 Servo motors (e.g., SG90)
• Low-power laser diode (Class 1 or 1M)
• Resistor (value depends on laser)
• Jumper wires
• Breadboard (optional)
• Base for mounting servos and laser

Software:

• Arduino IDE (https://www.arduino.cc/)
• Visual Studio (Community edition) or similar C# IDE (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)

Assembly:

1. Connect servos to Arduino following their specifications (signal pin to Arduino pin, power to 5V, ground to GND).
2. Connect laser diode (with resistor) to an Arduino digital pin (positive to pin, negative to GND).
3. Mount servos and laser on a base for aiming.

Software Setup:

1. Upload Arduino code (in Arduino folder) to your board using Arduino IDE.
2. Open C# Forms app (in C#_Forms_App folder) in your C# IDE, compile, and run.

Safety:

• Use a low-power (Class 1 or 1M) laser diode! Never point lasers at people or animals.
• Ensure your power supply can handle all components (especially servos).
