Light tracker demo
ccrause:
I had some fun building a light tracker with an attiny24 controller, 4x light dependent resistors and a home made pan & tilt platform driven by two servos. Firmware written in Pascal of course!
Short video and project code.

Thanks Davo!

I watched the video, you did a great job, congratulations.
I'm asking this out of curiosity, don't laugh.
Can this project be modified to track a fly in the air?

It would require a different kind of detector, perhaps something like a matrix of directional microphones tuned to the typical frequency of a fly's wing beat. Or maybe image processing can be used to identify the location of a fly based on a video stream - but this would probably be beyond the capability of a humble 8 bit processor.
Anyway tracking something small like a fly will be a lot more challenging than tracking a light source.
