i am an engineering student. for my final year project i need to use a laser range finder.For my project i need to align the sensor to a particular object and take measurement,also am using a pan and tilt unit for the same. I am also using a camera to view the object ,my question is- how do i make the sensor point to the point i selected on the screen. i need the sensor to automatically align itself to the point i select.
please help. thank you
I think that takes more processing power than a 8-bit, 16 MHz processor can do. Anything involving video generally takes more.
If the laser rangefinder beam is visible, the PIXY camera might be able to track it. PIXY is Arduino compatible.
actully i want the sensor to point at the object not the camera to track it. is there any way i can do that
thank you
Roborealm is an inexpensive computer vision software that can handle this type of problem.

Not with just an Arduino.

You might make a crude setup somewhat similar to a solar tracker. If you can modulate the laser beam at 38khz then you might be able to detect the laser spot more readily with an IR detector type of setup.
