  9. Fans set up!

    in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

    Posted

    I use velcro as well in my bucket...

    Got me a set of fans from EvilBoy and they are placed with velcro, the good thing about velcro is that if you find the fans not

    doing there jobs you just simple adjust them to better position, with glue they stay on target all the time. 

    so if ya ask me, try get a better velcro and stay with it :)

     

    i would try at first with velcro, then (after found the best position) with glue e6000

    I told you that I would have more questions! :)

     

    Will this LED Driver be suitable?

     

    1) it's 12Volts 300mA

    the one i linked can work at 8volts 320-350mA (or even less voltage because we save energy cutting out the transistors/resistors)

    2) it's not clear what IC uses and then if can be controlled with arduino

    the one i linked uses PT4115 IC that supports a DIM pin input to turn on/off or to set the brightness each led via Arduino

    Hi Skyone

     

    Could you please clarify which speaker you settled on?

     

    I'm starting to get the parts together I need to make sure I am ordering the correct part.

     

    Thanks

    it depends of the inner diameter of your pipe, everything above or equal to 3 watt @4 ohm is fine (the mini amplifier board works better with 4ohm speakers)

    i am using a pairs of this one but they are 4watt @16ohm:

    they works fine but they can't make the mini amplifier works at max power (3 watt)

     

    i also tested with success another set of speakers from sourcingmap but now they are out of stock

     

    70mmx30mm Rectangle Shape Aluminum Internal Speaker Loudspeaker 4 Ohm 3W

    p.s,

    i see finally another arduino blaster set around..

     

    p.p.s. i see other arduino serving the empire.. :D

    Hey mate, you think all this gear would fit inside a doopydoo kit? Obviously the trigger etc would be a problem though.

    with dd kit there are severals modification from original project needed:

     

    - the battery should be moved inside the pipe and replaced with cylindrical batteries (for example 2x 18650 li-ion 3.7v)

     

    - the arduino board should be moved inside the receiver, wich internal resin should be removed

     

    - speakers should be smaller (i don't remember the internal diameter of DD pipe)

     

    - you will need to build an henglster counter to place the mp3 player and bar-led

     

    this is only a temporary list of the changes required but not having the DD kit may be others not mentioned

     

     

    in the meantime i just upgraded my arduino code because i noticed something about the laser effect:

    20073145_firing-sterling-stormtrooper-bl 20073146_gallery_12157_11_483237.jpg 20073147_gallery_12157_11_264016.jpg 20073148_gallery_14191_18_405602.jpg

     

    they added in post production a white smoke effect that last less than a second and disappears completely after the laser is gone.It does not always appear, but is mostly present in foreground scenes.

    so i updated the code adding a very short white light emission before the red light of the E11 laser

        delay(30); // pause to wait mp3 start
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); //red
      digitalWrite(ledPin10, HIGH); //blue
      digitalWrite(ledPin9, HIGH); //green
      delay(1);
      digitalWrite(ledPin10, LOW); //blue
      digitalWrite(ledPin9, LOW); //green
      delay(80);  // partial lenght of sound
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
      delay(250); // pause to wait the sound finish

    would be nice to have a real smoke, which could be easily controlled by arduino adding a small device derived from green cigarettes, but it would be 'problematic its control (may be set only once every 10/20 gunshots or activated via a switch)

    "Full metal  7.4V Lithium Double pack"

     

     

    "i see u guys copied the MGC's Sterling modelgun. therefore it's Canadian ''C1'', and it should have flat-faced muzzle like MGCs do.  Also i hope those little screws around the chamber would disappear on final products.  Other than that, it looks super attractive! ï»¿"

    Just curious, can you use the MP3 player module I linked below for this setup? Apologies if I am asking a ridiculous question, I know almost nothing about how all the components need to be compatible. I happened to come across the slim type version of an mP3 module and thought that might help reduce space issues.

    i think yes

    you can control it via TTL serial commands with arduino

    but it needs 12volts

  23. Painting my black Chelsea boots white

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    Posted · Edited by skyone

    Paint is coming off in the creases in the leather, but I figure that it did that on the original boots as well

     

    did u clean boots leather with any solvent before painting?

    i also used the angelous and it still resist well after already some events

     

    i also used angelous paint on the textile, it cover well, but i noticed that it lost elastic property
