Laser Galvanometer

Set up a pair of galvanometers (electrically controlled mirrors) to direct a red laser (laser level) using a arduino to test the setup. The galvanometers are too heavy and slow to make anything other than patterns, so I shall make patterns! The mirrors were fluttering like butterflies on high speed and the pattern was loopy. Used scrap plywood and 1/4-20 screws to mount the galvos and laser level (laser level is tapped for a tripod mount)
