  • Automatically acquire and track the first object it sees
  • Physically track using a directly connected servo
  • Dump a complete image over the serial port

I might be interested. How difficult is it to use with an Arduino?

Hint: Nerf gun tracking turret.

No idea. It’s a kit I picked up and never built. Still sealed up.
