  1. So, question here :

     

    currently i've noticed that the "start-up sound" doesn't work at every start-up....

     

    When i've uploaded the code in the Arduino and turn it then it works.  I turn it off, back On again... no startup sound? When i reset the Arduino it'll work again...

    And i've noticed that the LED bargraph is starting the count-down from the bottom, so Red turn's off first.  I've checked the connections between the Arduino-pins and the LED Bar-graph and they are as stated in the scheme with the WT5001M02.

     

    Anyone here who could point me in the right direction?

     

    as for the bar graph you can easily change the light-up order moving up or down the  code line of each bar-pin

     

    as for the sound issue can't help much, be sure to use DriveSort on the sd card as showed in the first page

  2. under many request to re-up the gone pictures posted in the early pages of this forum, i decided to start a facebook page where i published all the schematics and pictures about this project

     

    this is the address

    to view the schematics at max resolution, on every picture you need to select "option" and then "download" (it works only if you have joined facebook)

  3. The first post looks like it was written for people who already know how to wire and code... not someone like me who rarely does that sort of stuff.

    i know, maybe you can check some arduino tutorials; i started this job with just a simple test: turning on a led with a microswitch

     

    in the meantime i finished the scheme of the version with smoke generator

  4. and here a new version with smoke machine addition!

     

    the fog machine is from RC car toys, sold for just 20 euro over ebay china (oil included). It is made by:

    a small board that control the intensity of smoke

    a small electric pump

    a (?) resistor that burn safe oil

     

    to control it by arduino i had to use the servo library and a small transistor as power switch. With the servo library i can control fog intenstiy, with transistor i can turn it on and off when i need.

     

    So that's all, it was made especially for boba flame thrower weapon but it can be used with any weapon stored in arduino, as E11 fire as it was seen on  ANH

     

    i will add the scheme

  5. there is no need to change the code, i used an arduino pro mini to control the speaker of the helmet and no difficult to program it

    just get the 5volt version and the USB to RS232 converter to program it

    the digital pins and pwm pins are same number as arduino nano

    and get a 5v 1A voltage regulator to power the mini amp and the mp3 player, because, as you can see, it's not supported on that board.

  6. I've finished the electronics for my MG-15/RT97 build now. I've changed a little bit from the original design in order to fit the weapon:

     

    - Random Sandtrooper voices at start up

    - Green light to indicate weapon is online

    - added MG-42 sound

    - changed Wookie sounds agains Boba Fett quotes

    - new LED setup accompanying the respective weapon

     

    Here's a video, hope you like it :)

     

     

    it's cool but still i can listen too much noisy on background. I would try different speakers, differente amp, or adding a small capacitor to the mp3 power source.

  7. Yup. Even tried triggering manually (ground to k1 pin for example) and nothing. The led lit up as if it was trying to play something so it might be my amp is playing up. Will try again tonight, although I do have another wt5001 en route from another supplier.

    serial commands look differents

    from datasheet in china-english:

     

    0x12

    The former 01 refers to the folder while the latter refers to the file. Note 1: 【7E 04 12 01 01 EF】 play the file 01 in the folder 01

     

     

    i would try

     

              // play file 01 in folder 01

              Serial.write(0x7E);

              Serial.write(0x04);

              Serial.write(0x12);

              Serial.write(0x01);

              Serial.write(0x01);

              Serial.write(0xEF);
