AI Dart Turret

32%

Finished

  • Pan-tilt mount assembled
  • Motion testing, Hold and sweeps complete
  • X-Shot Ragefire trigger/power integrated
  • Laser sight integrated

To-do

  • Mount Power supply
  • Camera input path (hdmi? mipi? udp?)
  • FPGA-assisted motion tracking bring-up
  • AI target selection and safe fire logic
  • Tracking accuracy tuning (FPGA Egomotion compensation)

A floor-standing automated turret on a tripod — about four feet tall — with two-axis aiming, an X-Shot Ragefire dart launcher, FPGA-assisted motion tracking, and AI target selection.

Mechanical work covers the pan-tilt head, launcher linkage, and tripod mounting. Electronics handle motor drivers, firing control, camera input, and a dedicated power path. Software ties together frame capture, inference, and fire logic with sane limits.

Right now the power supply mount is close — PSU on the bracket, protection in, twist lock being dialed in — then back to powered driver tests.
