The aim of this paper is to configure the motorized target positioning system for laser accelerated electron and proton beam experiments with PW class lasers. Since any electronic system is subjected to ionizing radiation exposure during the experiments, as well as sensitive to intense electromagnetic pulses, the control unit for the motorized stages was conceived as small as possible, based on Raspberry PI single board computer, in order to optimize the footprint and its electromagnetic shielding. Consequently, the command control software was adapted to the hardware limitations and it was developed based on Python 3 scripts in order to remotely control the target positioning.
