hello this is my project to add sound and light effects to a scratch built stormtrooper blaster (E-11 blastech) as seen on Star Wars "A New Hope"
the project is almost completed, this is the video that shows how it works
i attached the code, it's not the best and rational program ever made, i am quite sure that if array variables were used, the code could have been far shorter, but i am not so expert..
Very cool indeed, and that's exactly what I had in mind for my V gun. Could you list the Arduino hardware you used and shields for sound? I see a Wave Shield right? And you said you were using a nano Arduino?
Thanks again. I don't have access to that forum yet. About the board you bought, I bought the same board yesterday. It is SOMO-14D compatible in so many aspects. You could read about it here:
It is quite expensive, but they used the same chip.
Did not check the code yet, cause I did not installed Arduino IDE, but basically you are sensing the button, and each times some triggers it, you play the sound and turn on the led? At the same time or that is synchronous?
Bellissimo! Really. Congratulations! Thanks to you I met this Arduino thing, and I am really happy about it. What's the story about that RGB led. Where did you get it and how do you use it?
the RGB led must have 6 pins (anode and cathode) as this and it's powered by 3 constant Current Regulated LED Driver 1W 320~350mA (with minor mods) as this
the smoke generator 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
