Ordinarily I would explain why I built a project first... but frankly, the answer this time is "just because I wanted to!" So this is how I built my homemade autonomous AND manually controlled airsoft sentry turret!

This project was a great introductory project to the world of RaspberryPi for me personally. If you choose to replicate this project, there isn't all that much to it if you approach methodically, and I think it's actually more simple than many might realize!

Here is the video from the Hacker Shack YouTube channel that I followed to create this:
   • How to Make a Raspberry Pi Motion Tra...  

I have been interested in airsoft and paintball for many years, and this might be my final push to getting myself into some airsoft games with all kinds of D.I.Y. gadgets... If that's something that you want to see, let me know in the comments and by leaving a "Like" on this video!

Also, yes, I will be testing the turret against my invisibility shield sometime in the future...

I hope you enjoyed and learned something from this video! Make safely and know that I cannot be held responsible for any damages to persons or property as a result of your choice to build this project for yourself.

Best regards,
