motor that moves pointer in random directions

Post by liminal »

hi all,

total newbie here. i am thinking of making some kind of gadget to which you attach a laser pointer to be moved in random directions or at least in some kind of circular motion. something that can be hung on wall.

any help will be appreciated.

Not a lot of detail there to go on. An RC servo might be what you are looking for. This guide explains the differences between various types of motors.
