E11 blaster with Arduino
« on: January 19, 2017, 04:38:17 AM »

My newest Arduino compatible prop I created, based on the DIYino architecture. An E11 stormtrooper blaster to augment my 501st stormtrooper costume.

It is a hybrid blaster using HP-LED (same as used in lightsabers, RGB-Cree, often used in blasters), enhanced with neopixels for barrel lights and to imitate bar graph. Includes OLED display for status information/ammo counter/trooper designation etc.




The body of the blaster is a DoopyDoo E11 resin kit, inside the blaster I've built in the following parts to achieve the effects:
- a DIYino Prime v1 Arduino compatible board
- 32 neopixel LEDs (in two stripes of 27 and 5 LEDs respecively)
- a RGB Cree HP-LED module for the nozzle
- a 20mm 2W speaker
- an 5V DC/DC converter
- a single Li-Ion battery of type 18650
- 2 neodyn magnets
- a momentary switch with long lever
- an 96x32 OLED display
- an aweful lot of wired :)
- lot of fun programming it

Nice! I've never seen so many features packed into a blaster prop before.
