Laser Projector Lissajous Engine Variant 6 Kit with Arduino Mega
Create Intricate Lissajous Laser Projections with the Arduino Mega-Powered Engine Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a blank wall into a canvas of swirling geometric light. This kit pairs two galvanometer mirrors driven by high-resolution stepper motors to sweep a green laser beam at smooth, high speeds, painting mesmerizing Lissajous figures and animated patterns. Every component is pre-verified for system‑wide compatibility so you can focus on the art of precision motion.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble and calibrate a dual‑axis galvo mirror assembly housed in a safety enclosure. Once powered up, the Arduino Mega processes real‑time inertial feedback from the MPU6050 to keep the beam steady, allowing you to project complex, drifting Lissajous spirals, rose curves, and custom parametric designs onto any surface.
What You'll Learn
- Coordinating two NEMA 17 stepper motors with A4988 microstepping drivers for fluid, high‑frequency sweeps
- Implementing a closed‑loop system using an MPU6050 inertial sensor to correct drift and vibration
- Coding Lissajous curve generation on the Arduino Mega with real‑time frequency and amplitude adjustments
- Safe handling and enclosure design for a 5mW green laser module in continuous display applications

Who This Kit Is For
Geared toward college‑level engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) working on advanced mechatronics projects, Smart India Hackathon participants creating interactive art installations, and professionals in makerspaces across IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani. The build demands prior soldering and Arduino programming experience, making it ideal for those who want to push their precision motion‑control and laser optics skills.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.

Can I create my own Lissajous patterns beyond the included code?
Absolutely. The Arduino Mega sketch is fully open-source, and you can modify frequency, amplitude, and phase parameters to generate any Lissajous curve or explore chaotic attractors.
How do I ensure the laser is safe for audiences?
The kit includes a mountable safety enclosure that prevents direct beam exposure. Always operate the projector indoors, pointed at a wall or screen, and never look directly into the laser aperture.
Can I upgrade the stepper motors for faster sweeps?
The CNC Shield supports up to 2A per motor; you can swap in higher-torque NEMA 17s while staying within the PSU's capacity, allowing broader patterns at higher speeds.
Two galvo mirrors on stepper motors draw Lissajous figures with a laser pointer at high sweep rates.
