Building A Laser Spirograph
Posted April 29, 2011 by Chris
This article details out the process for making a laser spirograph using a PIC micro. Laser Spirographs require precise control and can make some pretty wicked images, but they are pretty complex to build. The 8-part article gives you all the hardware schematics, software and information needed to build your own.
