With thanks to Alastair from Playful Technology for the code. (www.patreon.com/playfultech/) This system is a great way of having a pub quiz type of “fastest finger first” operation without the need for phone apps or any cumbersome wires. It also avoids the whole tedious "passing around of papers" which often leads to far too much discussion about what constitutes a correct answer :) I have use...
Portable smoke machine battery powered for cosplay and props
zhlédnutí 380Před 3 měsíci
Hi everyone. I've made a number of "smoke machines" in the past but have honestly never been completely happy with having to use different voltage adaptors and the like. So I've taken a discarded disposable vape apart, replaced all the fluid with smoke machine fluid (the vape is USB C rechargeable) and modelled up an adaptor in Fusion and printed in TPU. This allows for a snug fit so the 12v ai...

Wireless voice changer for Rex type droids
Hi,I would like to purchase one of these
can i buy the code off you? i have all the same components
Very cool!
Unplug the battery prior to connecting the usb mini?
What does this guy use to have his voice distorted is it in person or in post?
Hello, I realize this is an older video but do you have any idea where to get the sound files for the ID10 droid? Thanks in advance!
I like different than the original Proton pack designs nowadays
This isn’t ghostbusters. Sorry this was a left wing propaganda shit feminist abomination
Are guys still making these lights and the headsets?
This is awesome! I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages! Still learning script tho and i don’t think I’d be able to manage from scratch aha
Worth looking at AI to get you started with writing code, ChatGPT (whilst purists will shudder) can get you off to a really great start and can get you very close with just a few prompts.
ive been at this for 8 hours and cant seem to get it to work ive tried so many different codes through chat gpt, any chance you could share yours? i keep getting #include <SoftwareSerial.h> const int motionSensorPin = 2; // Pin connected to RCWL-0516 OUT const int rxPin = 0; // Arduino D0 connected to DY-SV5W TX const int txPin = 1; // Arduino D1 connected to DY-SV5W RX const int ledPin = 13; // Onboard LED pin for indicating motion detection SoftwareSerial voiceModule(rxPin, txPin); // SoftwareSerial instance for voice module void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial for debugging voiceModule.begin(9600); // Initialize SoftwareSerial for voice module pinMode(motionSensorPin, INPUT); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Initialize the DY-SV5W Voice Playback Module delay(500); // Delay to allow the module to power up sendCommand(0xAA, 0x02); // Command to set module to MP3 mode } void loop() { if (digitalRead(motionSensorPin) == HIGH) { Serial.println("Motion detected!"); digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn onboard LED on playRandomTrack(); delay(2000); // Delay to prevent multiple detections digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn onboard LED off } } void playRandomTrack() { int trackNumber = random(1, 6); // Generate a random track number between 1 and 5 Serial.print("Playing track number: "); Serial.println(trackNumber); // Send play command to voice module sendCommand(0xAA, 0x03, trackNumber); // Command to play specific track } void sendCommand(byte cmd, byte para1, byte para2 = 0) { voiceModule.write(cmd); // Start byte voiceModule.write(para1); // Command or parameter byte voiceModule.write(para2); // Data byte (if needed) }
This is amazing, I was talking about doing a C-3P0 head with a motion trigger earlier today. I'll be dropping you an email about this once I finish my current R2 project.
Look forward to hearing from you
These things are great, I used to have one until I lost it on the bus

Do you think an Arduino Giga R1 would work well for this as well?
Sorry I have no personal experience with the Giga R1 so don't really feel qualified to answer.
Hi Steve, how can I reach out to you about a build request?
email imperiallandm@gmail.com sir :)
Would it be possible to do a voice similar to Half Life Combine Ordinal? If its able to do voice similar to him I swear im gonna order it right now.
Quite possibly yes, skip to around the 2 minute mark of this video: czcams.com/video/S8A1GSk-QCY/video.htmlsi=KGhAOrxNAhv2dQrD
noooooo
Nice 👍🏻
This looks great. Thank you for the build.
Glad you like it!
This is amazing! I wish I found this months ago. Would have saved me lots of time and money!
although i wasnt fond of the 2016 movie. i Loved the new models.The new models did Look amazing. and the proton pack has A FREAKING FARADAY CAGE
That's great. It could also display bAng. Subscribed.
Thanks, appreciate the sub :)
I’m sorry Steve for getting your name wrong apologies again, watching so many videos to get my electronics right
Hi Mike Are you using the Pololu Mini Maestro, PS great video
Not sure who Mike is? :) Yes, the mini maestro is a 12 channel board, although software wise, I think they are all the same regardless of mini, micro etc.
I am using flysky FS 16X TRANSMITTER AND an Arduino Uno
I'm making an R5 and don't need the sabertooth or syren10 I was planning on using ESC does your software control esc I f I'm using FS-IA6B receiver.
No, this system is build specifically to use the xbox 360 transmitter and USB receiver.
@@ImperialLightandMagic aaah ok, thanks and keep up the great work.
Hey Steve. If I’m seeing this right, you’re powering the Arduino through the Sabertooth?
correct
I would love to purchase a set if by chance that you still have any available or even schematics. This is what I have been looking for for my BB-Chopper build.
Thanks for your email, hope I can sort you out :)
Nice work! :D
Thanks buddy
measure the volatage on the 3,3V Line with the HC125 - the 3,3V line goes up to 3,9-4,0V.... this voltage stop the MAX USB Chip... With a long USB Kabel on the Ardoino Schield - Drop the 5V voltage so much that the high voltage on the HC125 drop to 3,6-3,7V and the MAX still work.... In my test USB Shields work without a Voltage Pin on the HC125, lift the PIN 14 from the HC125 - pls reports y results
Hey Steve, thanks for this video, seems to be I had issues also until you got me squared away, Much Thanks !!! is there a different sketch needed for the ADK Board or will the same sketch work?
Any mega sketch will work (I host one on my GitHub page which has maestro support already coded in) but make sure you select ADK board when uploading, not just mega (I’ve done a video about this too!)
@@brunobernier8870 to what?
@@ImperialLightandMagic Hey Steve! it's me again.... so i picked up a Mega ADK board, i have included all the libraries from Dans GitHub page, the sketch i copied from your page. loaded it to the board (i think) but the Xbox receiver does not appear to be working. the xbox controller just continues to flash the green circle. I know i have got to be overlooking something simple. can you give me a clue as to how i am fat fingering this....... Thanks... Pat
@@pgocon when you say flash the circle, do you mean it’s spinning (which is good) or all lights flash together? If spinning, you are probably good to go. If they all flash together, either they receiver and transmitter are not bound together, or the sketch is giving you problems. I have a video elsewhere about binding. Did you upload with the ADK board type selected (rather than just mega)? Hope this helps
@@ImperialLightandMagic All the lights flash together like it is not bonded, however if i plug the receiver into my PC, the controller and receiver link instantly. board i selected was the Arduino Mega ADK.
Hi, i need help with my Usb Host Shield and xbox 360 wireless receiver. Ive done what you said in the previous videos but its still doesnt work. I soldered the 3.5v and 5v, checked for the name problem but it didnt solve my problem. İ need to fix in 2 days for my school project. Can u help me?
By the way ive seen your Mega ADK video but im very closed to deadline so i cant buy new parts and its a lot expensive. İm waiting for ur answers its very very very important for me, thank in advance.
@@emrecakar5732hi, did you confirm that the chip labelled AHC on your board is actually an AHC or a HC?
@@ImperialLightandMagic Hmmmm.... İdk what is AHC/HC, im using clon UNO R3.
@@emrecakar5732 look for my video about fixing issues with USB host shields. There is a huge batch of shields made with an incorrect chip onboard which renders them useless, until you change the chip Hence why ADK boards are MUCH easier
@@ImperialLightandMagic İts AHC
Great video, thank you! Is it possible to have the servos manually controlled via the thumbsticks? For example, moving the holoprojectors manually using the thumbsticks.
not via the maestro no, it would probably be possible to edit the main sketch such that you could manage a couple of servos but this is a bad idea, as anything you do inside the main sketch (ie anything that your transmitter is able to influence) has potential for you to lose control of your droid.
Thank you!!
Hi Steve. I was able to upload the Arduino sketch for my mega ADK successfully. I do have a generic Microsoft controller. I changed the settings to the generic controller receiver, and everything seems to pair once I plug in the receiver to the Mega. However, when I press down on the joystick button, it does not seem to rotate through the numbers on the circular dial on the controlled like you were able to. Am I doing something wrong?
This is amazing! Thank you so much for these incredibly detailed videos. Sorry if you mentioned it as I missed it, but is there any way to control servos via the thumbstick, like if I wanted manual control over the holoprojectors? Thank you!
The exact same vape was delivered today and with the adaptor and air pump works incredibly well. One question ... how did you get the cap off to refill am scared of putting to much force on it. Thanks again... PS This.whole project cost less than £15 which is an £85 saving on the cheapest solution on Aliexpress
Force :)
If you think I’ve deserved a cup of coffee out of your savings, the paypal address is in the video description ;)

Hi Steve, like you I've been trying to get the Vape tip solution to work consistently with poor results. This is amazing and just what I'm after, thank you. I'll be popping one into my Daleks gun ASAP. Great work, thank you.
That's Brilliant, I have been looking a portable rechargeable units and they are very expensive. Your Solution produces far more smoke than the expensive units as well.
Glad to help
Awesome project

Great video Steve. Can you please tell me how many AMPs this system pulls? I am very new to electronics. If I had a 24v battery with 10 AMP hours what kind of run time would I get? I am using 24 v motors for the wheels and dome. I am really trying to figure out what battery specs I need and I am struggling. Any help would be awesome! Thanks
I'm removing the 5W laser from mine my ORTUR 24V Laser Engraver 2 Pro and adding the 20W TO my ORTUR Laser Master 3 10W moving the 10 W laser to my Laser Engraver 2 Pro. where did you find that expansion board? I will take the power supply from my other one and swap everything out. I just need that control board. Can you please send an extension where you purchased it thank you.
It came with the new laser module and also included the power supply.
Hi Steve...thanks for the video with the new Arduino Mega ADK. So much easier than the Host Shield. Another question for you.....I am seeing that there is no Ground Loop Isolator on this set up like you have show before. Is there a reason for that? Also....trying to find the AVI Link Ground Loop Isolator is near impossible (especially in the US). Can you please recommend a Ground Loop Isolator for me to buy? Thank you sir! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this tutorials.
Hi Steve...hopefully this is an easy question. I have an Arduino Uno and USB Host shield connected. I have ensured that the Host Shield is soldered appropriately to ensure the USB port provides power to the XBOX receiver. I am noticing, however, that the XBOX receiver is not powering up when plugged into the USB Host Shield, however, it does power up when plugged into my PC. So.....I tested the the USB host shield by plugging a USB cord into in and connecting it to a simply LED light....which worked. I am wondering if the USB Host Shield is not providing a full 5 volts to power the XBOX receiver? Is there something I can do to resolve this?
On some receivers, the light only comes on when the device is communicating (why it lights when plugged into your pc) so that’s more than likely an issue with the host shield (have you seen my video about faulty usb host shields and changing the chip?) or the hardware ID
Hi Steve. Yes. I did change the IDs per your video…still no luck.
@@rprealitycosplay Have you checked the "AHC" chip? If you don't know what I mean, check out my video about fixing issues with USB host shield.
Hi Steve...I love these videos...thank you so much. Please...help me understand. How can you use a 24 volt battery with parts which require less that 24 volts without a buck converter. I love how straight forward and simple this design is. I am just trying to understand how you get away without stepping down voltage. I appreciate any help you can lend me.
Not sure which "parts" you are referring to. In my build videos, the amplifier is rated to 24v so no issues there. The speed controllers are both fine, and the arduino and sparkfun mp3 take 5v out of the two speed controller 5v outputs, so they are fine too. That's all the parts on my board. If you wish to add extras like servo controllers etc, then you may need to add a 5v buck converter, but that's not what these basic boards have. Hope this answers your question.
Thank you Steve...yes....that is very helpful. I see now (looking at the video more closely) that your 24 volt battery is not plugged into the MP3, rather the Syren 10 is powering that component. Another question.....how to you address, with this set up, any worries about back EMF when the batteries are unplugged?@@ImperialLightandMagic
@@rprealitycosplayI unplug my foot motors when pushing the droid around, just in case. (I use XT90 connectors between my sabertooth 2x32 and the wires that go to the feet)
Thank you! Also….what 24 or 12 v batteries do you recommend for your setup?

Hello....thank you for these amazing videos! Question....where is the "range" on the controller? Do you need to be fairly close to the R2 unit for good signal (assuming no nearby interference). Is there any type of antenna needed to increase the range?
range is pretty good, certainly further than I would ever want to be apart from my droid in a public setting
