The Repulsor Ray Rifle, Arduino Halloween fun in Outer Space

current revision video

https://youtu.be/t-4IWkrXu9E

 

 

Protect the Universe with an Arduino Nano, qty 84 WS2812 NeoPixel LEDs, a DFPlayer module, and recycled household junk.

The repulsor is powered with an 800mAHr LiPO battery. Always fuse the main circuit, and branch protect multiple module projects for ease of troubleshooting later.

 

A 15W audio amp and a repurposed iHome player (only reused the enclosure and speakers) adds some kick to the sound effects.

  • Really great project and salvaging of parts to built it with.

     

    Kind regards.

  • Sir you are really dangerous! Distigrators abound!

  • Thanks John, I just uploaded latest rev with bigger and better audio.

    Thank you for the tip.

    I used to just paste the photos in directly into blogs and reports, not sure what changed.

  • Hi Gary,

     

    This is a great looking Ray Gun and l suspect you salvaged it off an Imperial Star Cruiser. In the future if you use the picture upload tool your photos will print directly into your blog. Keep up the great work.

     

    John
