Hello everyone! I just wanted to share with you my first successful electronic project (I normally get to a point where I don't know how to progress). I'd love to get into the prop/cosplay building world, so I started by electronics and programming, which is a thing I already have knowledge on. Never made a decent costume before, which you can easily deduct from my lame cardboard rangefinder haha.
This is a Boba/Jango Fett rangefinder, controlled wirelessly by two buttons: one up, and one down. It can achieve 3 positions:
-Vertical (starting point).
-Facing backwards, as Jango Fett does.
-Facing forward, with custom blink sequence (I have no clue on which sequence is the correct one, so I made one I like).
Transmitter has a "power saving" mode, it's on stad by until you push one of the buttons. Next thing would be add that for the receiver too. And then a channel selector so one Mando control doesn't move other Mando rangefinder
I'd really like to hear your feedback, suggestion for extra features and even suggestion for other electronic ideas. I enjoy building, designing and thinking projects, but lot of times I don't know what to create. So, hope you like it and I'll await your comments.
Thanks!
