    Art Andrews replicated it years ago with all the greeblies and extras over on the MEPD, that's where you probably remember it from matey :)

    i have found for 12$ free shipping from china this electric rifle

    it is smaller but if transformed into a gun maybe it would be ok..

  6. Building An Alternative to Blastercore: E-11 Sound/LED Board

    As for the battery, I think you'll fit a 9 volt easily.

    a 9 volts battery would last very short, their amperage is around 200mAh

    a lithium battery with a minimum amperage of 600mAh is strongly suggested, such as 2x 18650 batteries

    2 of them can fit inside the blaster pipe

    here the boots pictures after 2 full days of trooping

    as told before the paint was lost where the boots and armor shins touch without any protection inside (foam)

  11. arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects

    the module works fine

    while plays mp3 files without problem and with a very good quality; wav files are supported (44.100hz/16bit/stereo) but with issues: the file starts to play only after 1 or 2 seconds of blank sound with a fading-in effect. tried to lower the sampling rate without any change.

    something odd: if you want to keep the files order, firse must create the mp3 playlist on hard disk (0001.mp3, 0002.mp3, ecc) and when ready copy to the root of the micro-SD card. If you rename or change something on microsd card it will messy the order.

    I used 2 watt stereo speakers @ 8ohm: if used in mono no problem, when stereo you can hear clipping. With a mini amplifier no problem at all also in stereo mode.

    The serial code is almost the same of the bigger mp3 sound module (the one i used on my blaster), this one is more basic because doesn't support folders.

    So if you are going to use this sound module you will need to modify the serial commands in the code i released for this project (very easy)

    the video test:



    the code used in the video
    const int buttonPinFire = 7; // FIRE

// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status

void setup() {

// initialize the button pin as a input:
pinMode(buttonPinFire, INPUT);

// initialize serial communication:
Serial.begin(9600);



Serial.write(0x7E);
Serial.write(0x03);
Serial.write(0xA7);
Serial.write(0x1F); // volume max
Serial.write(0x7E);

// start sound
Serial.write(0x7E);
Serial.write(0x04);
Serial.write(0xA0); // A0 for SD card
Serial.write((byte)0x00);
Serial.write(0x02); // track number
Serial.write(0x7E);
delay(3000);

}

void loop()
{


buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPinFire);
if (buttonState == HIGH) {

Serial.write(0x7E);
Serial.write(0x04);
Serial.write(0xA0); // A0 for SD card
Serial.write((byte)0x00);
Serial.write(0x01); // track number
Serial.write(0x7E);
delay(300);
}

}

    below pictures of my dyed boots walking at Milan Cartoon convention last weekend

     

    at the end of full 2 days of walking around i got scratches only on the back part because of armor shins (and hidded by them). Inside the front part of shins i added foam, that protected the boots. So will add foam also on the back side.

     

    I will take care of my boots :)

    Pretty sure it's a promo pic, i.e. anything goes!

    this is the description from swhelmets site

     

     

    Here's a publicity shot done in the UK in late 1977 / early 1978 for the UK release. Its clear that they've just tried to pull together any bits and pieces they can get their hands on including parts from both Stormtroopers and Sandtroopers (check the knee plates and the left troopers stomach box). Vader himself also seems to have a wonky dome and may well be the ANH original, which did not have a reliable fixing mechanism. It featured in the UK Monthly Poster mag (Spring '78).
