Arduino Radar Gun
Introduction
This is a long term project, so this page will be updated as the project continues. The goal here was to take control of an off-the-shelf radar gun. The gun used for the project was a "Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun" and was purchased on Amazon. An Arduino Leonardo is being used due to it having x12 Analog Inputs. Since the Leonardo is based on the ATMEGA32U4, any of the "Arduino Clones" would work, like this one

Video will be coming soon...
