Arduino Servo Control: How to Make a Laser Turret with XOD

Afrotechmods

Why people recommend it

Linked as a fun example of a servo-steered laser turret, mostly as project inspiration and once as a comparison point for laser scanning methods.

Watch for: Lasers can permanently damage eyes, so never aim a moving beam where people or animals may be; this is an inspiration piece more than a tutorial.

In their words

In particular, couldn't we just attach the laser to a servo, as done here and here, and do laser scanning in this way?
