Arduino – first light…
So this is the ‘brains’ of the binocular mirror mount. or at least this is the gadget used to programme those brains. it’s an arduino (pronounced: “aard-ween-oh”), as if you hadn’t guessed. The idea is to programme the chip to receive commands from a laptop (via bluetooth) and then move the two stepper motors accordingly. in time, it might get a bit more advanced – for example having direct ‘user control’ via a keypad as well as receiving instructions from a laptop.
