This Automatic Lego Turret Has AIMBOT

This Lego Turret can AUTOMATICALLY AIM at targets, using a PHONE camera, OBJECT DETECTION and Mindstorms.
Written in python using ev3dev and the opencv and ev3_dc library.

Hello everybody!
I made a new robot, and this time I made an auto-aiming turret!
I was on the verge of quitting, but I am so happy I kept trying.

Do you have any ideas for what i can make?

Fun video! Maybe you can make it into a car or tank, just put it on top of some wheels.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

That is actually a great idea! I do have two motors left to make a tank, so that's actually a good Idea! I am going to think about if it isn't repetitive to build it into a tank after this. The people that watched this video already know what it does after all.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

I just realised... I ended up using usb, because bluetooth just didn't work, so a tank wouldn't really work since it would only be able to go as far as the cable can reach. But: maybe (quite possibly) I'm going to build a V2 in the future and I would try to make it wireless. Then it would work with a tank!

[@AstonishingStudios]

That 2nd to last song was great! Loved the video, and I hope you make the videos twice as long in the future since there's so much interesting nerd engineering BTS stuff you could unpack!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks! I was a little dissapointed with the length of the video, but I always look at what I want to say in the video and don't want to stretch it just to get more time. I prefer quality and pacing over length. With my last video, I did more segments, but that just made the video too repetitive in my opinion (and the graph says the same).

[@puzzLEGO]

I really love this machine! It’s super cool how you get straight into it, but it’s now missing a bit of structure, keep it straightforward I reckon. Otherwise I was super engaged, great job!!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bricklejar]

Absolutely more genius than half the stuff on KZbin you definitely deserve more views

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks man, that truly means a lot and thank you for watching and commenting on multiple videos!

[@JaxIshYT]

The story behind the video is great! Also the build is just awesome 👏

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! Tried to keep the pace high. I didn't want to repeat myself like I did in older videos

[@APStudios]

You definitely are a GENIUS! Amazing machine as always! Great job!

Dit was echt een goede video, goed geëdit! Was echt wel tof om naar te kijken! volgens mij had je de video zelfs nog langer kunnen maken zonder watchtime te verliezen! En je hebt alweer bijna 600 subs! ;-) Nogmaals een hele goede video!!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Dankjewel! Ik wil inderdaad in de toekomst langere videos maken, maar ik wil niet te lang op een onderwerp blijven hangen om de kijkersloyaliteit hoog te houden.

[@Creative_Electronics]

​@@CreativeMindstorms Het is dat ik het vermoeden heb dat je editing en dan vooral storytelling goed zijn voor echt lange video's te maken in de hoop dat er natuurlijk niemand afhaakt doorheen de video.. Maar deze 4 minuten video voelde in ieder geval als 1 minuut!Het voelde heel kort en dat is natuurlijk heel goed, nu in 2022 in youtube-land ;-)

[@apren9569]

more videos like this!! please , love it

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! Soon!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Your persistence paid off. That turned out FANTASTIC!!!! Also, excellent work on the video. There is so much good stuff going on here that I'm going to need to watch the video a few times to see everything I want. Perhaps your evil plan? 😂 Great job!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks! Guess you'll never know my evil plans... 😂

That’s a really cool project! Could you share the source for connecting the Mindstorms to the computer? I’ve tried doing this for so long but nothing works. Thanks and great video.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! I will share it later today when I am at my computer.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Everything I had to do for the connection is on this page: ev3-dc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples_ev3.html#connect-with-the-ev3-device Good luck, and let me know if you need more help

[@djabirmoutari]

Hi my friends please i want to know what mathematical function did you use for the detection and orientation of the turret and the gun towards the target?

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Shall I tell you a secret: 1:39 I didn't calculate the aiming, I just tweaked the numbers until it hit it *almost* every time, which worked as well. When it detects a target, it moves till the center of the target is on pixel(340 , 275). This works because the target isn't very far away. Calculating it wouldn't even make sense, because lego isn't really acurate and the dart could wiggle and go out of it's trajectory. You can see it in the code if you don't share it as your own and credit me: drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1dqyNbJQtlU4n3-H6qUkt-B0f-K8-s8H8

[@djabirmoutari]

@@CreativeMindstorms OK I understand I want to make an algorithm with MATLAB in which the algorithm to design is to rotate the turret towards the coordinates (XYZ) of a target. target coordinates can come from a camera

[@CreativeMindstorms]

@@djabirmoutari Well, I wish you good luck with that! Because that's going to be a difficult project!

please can i see the algorithm. I have a project like this to do at school

Hello! You can have the code for inspiration! Just please don't share it without letting me know and don't claim it's yours. I would love to hear more about this school project if you have any questions, or when you are done with it! You can always send me an email. I have explained the code a bit better inside the code file: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dqyNbJQtlU4n3-H6qUkt-B0f-K8-s8H8?usp=sharing I learned a lot from this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYnPqIqYip2faNE Good luck!

@@CreativeMindstorms oh thanks thanks verry much my Friend. I will do what you Say me. Send me Your mail now i will chat you. Iam in university of Clermont Auvergne (France) and my projet is : conception of balistique launcher and the Platform of work is NXT. The mission is: target detection, positioning of turret and launch

[@CreativeMindstorms]

@@djabir My mail is in the 'About' section of my KZbin channel. If you are going to work with nxt, you are going to need a different python library than ev3_dc, like this one: ni.srht.site/nxt-python/latest/index.html
