Control Your Webcam (or Anything Else) with a Guitar Hero Pedal [Video]

Control Your Webcam (or Anything Else) with a Guitar Hero PedalControl Your Webcam (or Anything Else) with a Guitar Hero Pedal If you have something at your workspace that's a pain to manually adjust?whether it's your monitor, your webcam, a microphone, or something else?DIYer Tom Price shows us how to control it with an old video game pedal.

Tom's project was for his webcam, which he had to adjust every time his kids moved out of the frame when Skyping. So, armed with a now-obsolete Guitar Hero pedal, an Arduino, and a servo motor, he turned his pedal into a manual controller for his webcam. Of course, you may not have these specific needs, but you could adapt this to nearly anything that can be moved by a motor. Check out the link below for the full how-to, and the video above to see it in action.
