This is a simple one axis version of a laser gimbal I made that can be controlled by any MCU like an Arduino.
Uses a single coil with AC current to manipulate the angle of a mirror. Attached to the back of the mirror is a simple rare earth magnet with poles perpendicular to the coil's magnetic field. Rubber bands provide the restive force that pulls the mirror back to the center position but this can also be accomplished by reversing the current in the coil repetitively until the middle position is found.
The design inspiration for this project came from the Peachy Printer 3D printer: http://www.peachyprinter.com/
