That's right, it is controlled using my old 6ch transmitter and receiver I once used for my helicopter, but since I upgraded that one, had just the purpose for it....for now!
It's a simple set up really, all I do is take apart the servos and remove the gears and there is a positioning potentiometer. Using pliers, it is easy to turn the pot left or right (with the transmitter's channels trimmed to 0 or neutral) till the motor slows down and eventually stops turning. If you go too far, it will begin to spin the opposite direction. Of coarse the mirrors are attached to the motors, and the spin from the transmitter's trim, velocity and direction, presets, even crazy movements on the joy sticks controlling 3 channels (can and probably will add a 4th) to create shapes.
I cut out a piece of a Sony Xplode amp box and hot glued the servos in place, as a base for the experiment.
I don't have the ability yet to post videos, but I shall soon!
