ok, i work at maplin electronics - for those of you who are from england, you will know we stock various disco lighting and equipment and stuff..
well, the other day we got a laser crab in stock, so i decided to have a look at it.
wow!! its surprisingly simple!, so it got me thinking.
if i get 2 motors and a green laser, some potentiometers*... could i make my own?
*potentiometers would need to be able to change the polarity of the current at mid point for the motors to go both clockwise and anticlockwise.
when im nect in, i shall take some pictures, and hopefully tomorrow i will have some plans drawn out.
