Future Improvements

The missile launcher as presented in this article is equipped to provide hours of fun, but the following additions and features could improve your firing success, allow you to control the launcher from afar, and test your skills:

  • Add a laser pointer to help show where you are aiming.
  • Add a USB camera and control the launcher from a web interface.
  • Add a proximity sensor to help aim and fire missiles.
  • Create an obstacle course with targets and time how long it takes to complete.
