Christmas Presents from Codebugs

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

I made a rocket for my nephew for christmas, a colour star provides the engines and a codebug does the countdown sequence.

 

A 2L drinks bottle provided the fusilage and a cardboard box supplied the fins.

 

I had to sacrifice a better battery than intended as the cheap one kept turning itself off during the countdown (power save feature).

 

My brother-in-law was slightly disappointed witn the feedback, apparently the lego millennium falcon was quite expensive so becoming second best present was a little blow.


Here's the code.

Here's the video (you Tube)

 

 

 

I made four christmas trees with a codebug colour star on top of each (two daughters, two nieces).

 

The trees were made out of hardboard and covered with green paper, the colour stars were wrapped in tinsel (as a diffuser, they are two bright otherwise). A USB battery pack was used as the power supply.

 

Here is the code.

    As Clem noted, the links were broken because I copied and pasted them from the codebug forum, so the Hyperlink code format was wrong (different between that bulletin board and here) they should all work…

    It seems the links don't work.

     

    Also can you add some images to the post (rather than a link to somewhere else that could be removed).

     

    I'm sure there are others will will want to emulate these.

    Thanks
