Motorized aim assist system uses a moving mousepad for laser-accurate headshots — a cannibalized GRBL drawing system and computer vision software deliver perfect shots

Nick from the Basically Homeless YouTube channel created a motorized aim assist system using a moving mousepad that leverages a GRBL drawing system and computer vision software for precise headshots in video games. By combining woodworking, hardware hacking, and software skills, Nick developed a system that tracks targets on the screen and adjusts the mousepad underneath the mouse to achieve accurate shots. The mechanism, repurposed from an Xdraw A4 drawing board, smoothly moves the mousepad to enhance aiming skills. The computer vision model monitors the screen, calculates necessary movements, and sends commands to the mousepad, resulting in laser-accurate headshots.
