D.I.Y. Scrap Metal Auto-Turret (RaspberryPi Auto-Tracking Airsoft Sentry?!)
ฝัง

- 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 TH-cam channel that I followed to create this:
• How to Make a Raspberr...
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,

Alright, let's try this again! I turned up the audio volume and re-uploaded, so let me know what you guys think! Thank you for letting me know and helping me to put out better quality content! I hope you enjoyed the video!
Perfect
@@speaker1449 Much better?
@@randomn6473 I was not bad on computer for me, but does sound higher.
@@coryandrum Same here. I thought where it was before sounded about average from my computer but I guess others didn't have the same experience.

Now you just need to make a dispenser for the IRL TF2 Engineer experience
I need to try that game at some point. XD
@@randomn6473 Ahaha. It's a great game. Little basic by modern standards, but that's a lot of its charm
More like the BFG, needs much less accuracy =D
Use a gun... and if that doesn’t work, use more gun.
@@i_critique_your_vanity7216 The American way. XD
I need like 6 of these for my garden to keep the raccoons and rabbits out of it....
@D M they get the catapult over the fence
Need them for dog walker’s.
@@musclesmouse you might. But fortunately for me my yard is nowhere near pedestrians or their pets
tha raccoons may be gone, but your garden will be yellow the next day :D

This thing would be a hundred times cooler if you added turret dialog from "Portal"
"Is anyone there?"
"There you are"
"Gotcha"
"Are you still there?"
Perferct to make fear
Or maybe... Sentry TF2 sounds or Half-Life Turrets sounds...
I'd prefer mw2 sentry gun sounds
The thing TH-cam was made for! I approve this madness
Absolutely excellent construction considering the tools and materials you had at your disposal.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and plan on sticking around for more content.
This needs to be painted white and say "Hello"
...Portal reference, by chance?
@@vgman94 the cake is a lie
It's "Hello? Are you still there?"
That stupid doorbell camera whistle would be even better
I'm guessing you only played portal and not half life.
You honestly have such a strong proclivity for mechanical engineering. All of your solutions were efficient and explanations were intuitive.
I love the versality of the RPi. You know, a guy can really make some interesting stuff powered by it. Good job! As for the audio: it is near perfect now, at least for me. 👍🏻
Thank you so much for sticking around and letting me know!
This is one of the coolest projects I've seen man good job.
now all you gotta do is make it bigger and put one on the tank
And improve the munitions, haha.
As others have said well done.
Loving the IRL TF2 comment from Justin..
This deserves more views. I hope this becomes a trend for builders on youtube.
Ramp this up a little and that would be such an amazing thing to use in a game, well done!

Yeah some object tracking added in, a gear base the motor can run easier and faster, up the cams 3 on each side, of those 3 have one be an IR cam/Night Vision Cam/regular cam, add in 1 distance and sonar sensor between each camera group, up the battery pack to a 12V car batter and add a solar panel roof. Also noticed all the wires need to be shortened up and fully shielded.
You'll need to modify the code quite a lot but the combined effort should take care of all the short falls seen in the video.
I did something very similar to this but I'm using laser's. You can't rob my house if you can't see.

Neat project. Looks like you had plenty of room inside the ammo box to run some gears. This would help with the accuracy of raising and lowering.
And voila! Now the squirrels stay out of my garden.
Until you find that one has been trained by MI6 and has sapped the sentry gun
ATF will be visiting you soon!
Automatic transmission fluid? Oh that reminds me I have a leak on my power steering I need to fix...
Yo update I fixed it. It turns out that air was not in fact leaking in. It was frothing up because the filter was clogged!
@@aldenhauser9555 Holy fuk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@aldenhauser9555 Did you manage to repace the filter?
@@aldenhauser9555 ya What this guy 👆 said?
Awesome video. I've been talking about doing this for some time now. I really like the ammo can usage.
The music when you are testing around 20:00 for some reason reminds me of playing Goldeneye on those outdoor Siberian winter levels.
Insert the obligatory "Aliens" references. "A and B guns, tracking and firing. *Multiple* targets."
Seriously, you should sell these as a side-gig.
Beat me to the reference.
Need to try that again with 9mm. That should make life interesting for burglars.
Or you if you forget to disarm it
@@sawyernorthrop4078 No more problems in that case :p
Door has to be kicked in. Not unlocked.
Be careful using real firearm, I think ATF will be at your door. But a Drozd Blackbird running 8000 BBs per minute and 1100 FPS should be both lethal and legal. Use scuba tank for stand and air HPA source.
@@marvinsauer8493wanna help me build this?
Neat. I remember trying to do this with openCV and servos a few years ago but I could never get the servo controller to communicate properly.
Oh interesting! This actually uses OpenCV as well!
Mee too! Do you mind the share ?
Come on people! This guy has hundreds of thousands of views and only 102 thousand subscribers. This guy os talented as hell like alot of other youtubers that have millions of subbers why is this guy any different. Im subed and this is the second vid i have ever seen of him.

Hey there kids, prior Electronics Tech for USMC here (Electronic Field Service Engineer for Civ Equiv), who served with Infantry. Pro tip for cooling systems for air fan systems like this. To help the life span of your equipment, place the air intake and air exhaust opposite of each other and have your higher energy consuming systems nearest the exhaust port, avoid cross style patterns, and do not have too much/many opening for "air flow" as doing so will actually cut back on the efficiency of your cooling systems. Also, if you plan on having equipment like this anywhere close to being out in the elements for extended periods of time, I recommend trading out for a closed cooling system, oil, water, or even just a Heat Sink Radiator system. If you're doing builds like this and want some good edvice from a guy who's seen it all in practice (not just theory) feel free to hit me up!
Reminds me of the paintball turret from a few years ago. That thing was running off a NETBOOK.
Sentry going up!
Nice try but that's actually a 79.892mm fan. Beginners mistake
Lots of fun! Gotta love those huge old Sears glue guns!
I want a bunch of these with spotlights on them that will spotlight trespassing vehicles in my front yard at 2 am 😂
I would tag GoPro on socials because I have a hard time with an Airsoft gun breaking an Action Camera like that
Also check out ebay for K40 if you are going to do a lot of acrylic cutting. It was my first cheap laser and it only has a small bed + needs a bit of modding to make it safe and useable.... but I looked away for a second and wondered why you were sanding the acrylic to make it fit instead of recutting it and then realised - not everyone has a laser :D
Edit - there are bigger safer ones that cost more and have a cutting bed bigger than an A4 piece of paper. I upgraded to a Beambox Pro which does 400x600 (cheaper than a Glowforge to get here by a lot). Just comes down to how much you want to spend
Looks like the TH-cam captions still caught your 'blaster' slip ups. Cool video though.
So hard not say the ''G'' word xD very nice project
This is a DIY version of the Super Aegis 2. Thanks for the vid.
1:04 the only time the cameraman didn't survive.( Rest in Peace Camera that was so cool)
Randomn: "placing a sentry!" "sometimes you need a little less gun."
"Less gun?" That doesn't register for me haha.
@@randomn6473 TF2 Engineer dialog.
Hiiii, I found a bit later this video, I did something similar, I used a old wall fan, with a glock, and a old webcam and pc, and used a haarcascade full body, It works like a charm, cheers great work, keep going.
I would set up some sort of tri-camera setup, to where you have 1 regular camera, 1 night-vision camera, 1 thermal/infrared camera. That should prevent the camera from losing target as easily. I would also play with some sort of facial recognition software in the camera, so it can at least try to distinguish between targets.
Great video!👍 I'm addicted to your channel! Keep up the great vids!😁
Very cool. The core idea could be stepped up for a real battlefield weapon system: E.G. - A remote operated gun, or autonomous sniper system, or some combination of the two.
The rotational speed of the platform is slow enough to simply walk around it as long as you are in hitting distance.
Try to mount the nonessential parts under the swivel. Lower center of mass and it would probably swing around quite a lot faster.
If you do it smart, the only things that really need to rotate are the sensors and the airsoft gun. Everything else can be housed in the ammo box, right between the legs.
Not if it's in a hallway it's meant to protect a specific area not to do the job for you
At one point you mentioned that you decided to go with printing a part instead of just fixing a (part of ?) the gun directly. IMHO the more you repurpose and minimize amount of unnecessary work, the cooler it will be. Thanks for the video
if fallout were only that easy, we'd be building turrets for our settlements
Other people in air soft match: why that banging his sentry gun
Me: *laughs in engineer*
Very cool. You could maybe make a knockdown target to disable it if you planned to use it in a game? Nothing worse than being shot at by something you can't fight back against. Then again the tracking is fairly limited and it could be area denial. Would be up to the site manager I suppose.
Sentry goin' up!
Bro, you got a nice little Ted Kaczynski shed over there, and with your camouflage clothes its spot on 😉 I would almost kill for having a well equipped shed with a lot of scrap metal laying around. I dig it, awesome! Good job with that turret also. 😊
Next generation weapons, nice job!
I dreames of building that as a kid. Just remote controlled was what I wanted
make the stepper faster, give it more compute/ lower target certainty coupled with a wider angle camera and that turret will become kill on sight
Awesome vid dude. Would like to see a paintball marker version.
I'll take 30 if you can make it come in 45acp and recognize friendlys via a RFID tag.
i don't need "auto", i just want to control the barrel with mouse and aiming with the screen and crosshair, whilst projecting a barrel mounted cam's view (incl. night vision): this would be ideal for varmint/hog control in the South. Just mount on roof of go-cart, or any vehicle
"Hey buddy, I'm an engineer, and that means I solve problems..."
Yes - replying to video from two years ago, but your turret video has LOTS of info I can use for a nerfy-foam-blaster turret in my local post-apocalyptic LARP.
Just call it The Airsoft in any future features - the important people (your viewers) will know what you mean.

Buildin' a sentry!
You can’t fool me Skynet!
I thought about building on of these about a year ago. just a bit of AI to track faces or bodies, a few lines of code to center it on that object, and fire. Then mount any gun and equip a trigger pulling device.
And that children is why u get a protective lens for your fancy gopro
That's a great anti porch pirate machine!
Next time, they walk right up & knock...
Nice, now make one using a
9mm Glock. 😎👍
Legally I have to say that is a horrible idea... Thanks for the comment!
@@randomn6473 wink, wink.😉
@@randomn6473 depends where you use it I think using this in an active war zone inside a building with an akm as a trap
I've always wanted to do this under the edge of the roof for visitors dogs mailman😂
Now we need michael reeves's psyche to deteriorate enough to make tazer drones. And voila receiver irl!
They illegal in warfare, but I god damn guarantee "they" got these already. Friend or Foe Tech probably really good these days.
Love to see one of these with one of those mini gun ones ... but whom has 2k laying around for that experiment I don’t know. This would be really cool using some photo eye sensors or proxy sensors in the sourcing position then it would give you 360 degrees of detection
Randomn great video man! Keep up with the cool projects, and your editing is getting really good👍🏻
Gear down that azimuth stepper, it's probably 400 or even 200 steps per rotation, that gives you a VERY jerky motion.
Bushwhacker: ,,Attaboy, lil' tripedal friend."
When are we gonna have a level 3 of this sentry?
What!! Wow that's impressive
Thank you!

DARPA is watching and excited to swap out bbs for a .30 cal on this.
Wasteland Commonwealth ready!
Just a legal thought for those in the U.S.: If this was hooked up to a real firearm and then shoot someone, even if that person had to break in and 100% was illegally trespassing, you’d be facing years of prison time and potential lawsuits.
But ONLY in BLUE States!
You should add a speaker and have it say things like "Senty mode activated" and "There you are" in a computer voice.
Build it inside a 50gallon drum. With an initial motion P.I.R. causing the unit to raise up from the barrel, with a voice stating. " Defense Systems Activating. Lethal Force Authorised ".
Looks like something from the early 80s to 90s👀
"There you are" !
Take a look how timing advancement is used with centrifugal force & armatures with springs...then incorporate that into your horizontal circular track... because centrifugal force will push the spring back compressed and when it slows the spring will move weight closer to the axis of rotation, speeding it up, if that weight is magnets who knows how far you'll go!!!!
Awesome 2 Amendment Ideals on the Cheap ❤
You should make it where it doesent shoot a certain color like blue blue sticks out enough that it won't attack it
For something that small that Thing is powerful
And the next project might be an artificial eye. 😆 Good that you showed the power from the thing. I would never try this without protection goggles.😉
if it learns how to sing, I'll bring the cake...
There's always cake in the end...
Sentry going up
Now we need a portal 2 turret, just because (:
Always wanted to build a turret :P
Now that is just terrifying. I am extremely Prosecco amendment but with all these crazy ass mass shooters and this stuff coming out I may change my opinion.
I really like it good job
What would happen if you tipped it over?
Will it freak out spin around on the ground and shoot all over the place and then shut down?
Feels like autoturret from Aliens which is sweet
Nice job. As far as tracking goes you could go a few different routes for more precise results. LiDAR would be the obvious choice but you could also use motion detection software or an infrared heat sensor to track the enemy movement accurately. Well done though. Great to see.
Nice work! I tried to get this working a while ago, any chance of a copy of your working code?
Sentry goin' Up!
For the authentic ‘Aliens’ experience you should pick up an old Toshiba laptop with a plasma display from eBay.
Add some LoRa modules and with the right antennas you could get over 30 miles of connectivity
