"Five Stars" according to Anthony Greenberg, Sr.. Too Much Fun!!!. ArduTinkerer said A really fun read; look forward to my own blaster project. I didn't really expect to read this book from cover to cover in one sitting. I did simply because it is a really fun book to read.Written in exuberant style, it is one part instruction manual, one part autobiography of creative evolution, and three parts shout of encouragement to new tinkerers and old geeks (TLSF Death Blossom!!!). I look forward to giving my copy to a 10 year old neighbor who loves to build stuff and loves graphics and games. I don't think his little sister will thank me for setting him up to build a fully robotic Nerf launcher, but this project is s. shunoheiwa said helpful, entertaining intro. Intro books don't come any better than this - the author provides clear instructions for navigating Processing and Arduino to build a robotic NERF weapon. The step-by-step directions are easy to follow and not too complicated. (The pictures really help too!) I was surprised how funny and entertaining the writing is, since I was expecting just a how-to manual. Some of the side stories about Adobe and MailChimp are actually pretty cool.I'm a complete novice to programming, but I've played with NERF guns for years, which is what drew me to the book. It's an awesome proje

Design and build your own robotic, Arduino-powered sentry blaster!Break out the big daddy blaster--and teach it to act on its own! Build Your Own Autonomous NERF Blaster walks you through cool DIY projects, such as working with motion sensors, remote monitors, and facial detection software, all while building up to the ultimate goal: a robotic NERF weapon that finds and fires on its targets! Have some serious fun along the way as you learn about creative coding with Processing and Arduino.Step-by-step instructions show you how to:Construct and mount a servo, NERF blaster, and webcam in harmonious alignment Program Processing to receive video, search it for a face, and then pass instructions to your Arduino board via USB cable Configure Arduino to process the message and instruct the servo to move to a new position Specify your target radius in Processing and, when met, send the message to Arduino that it's time to "open fire!"
