Lion's electronics cornerAs you might know, I'm a bit into electronics, and decided to publish all my projects on one thread.
I'm not a very inventive person, so any ideas you have or something you'd like to see built I'd love to hear an attempt them. Also if you need help with anything, I can help you too.
DisplaysRecently I got an OLED display and I've been playing with some ideas. My main goal would be to integrate it on a rangefinder stalk.
For these I'm using a cheap 128x64 display, with Adafruit SSD1306 libraries.
Important note: I have yet to make a lot of tests, but for some reason these very simple interfaces consume A LOT of Arduino's memory.
TRAMP copycatLike I said, I'm not very creative. TRAMP display is what made me interested on these little screens and so my project was to replicate it.
X-Wing instrument panel displayNot entirely happy with it, movement should be smoother.
Blaster ammo counter and light kitI think this might be a cool project for all those converted nerf guns. Would be even better if it had sound. I'll work on that.
Rangefinder display screenDecorative display for the rangefinder of my future Mandalorian helmet. Bit useless 'cause it's too close to my face and my eyes can't focus the screen properly. The distance indicator needs a lot of work to look realistic.
LED effectsJynn Erso's NERF gun sequenceCopied the Jynn Erso's NERF gun light effect (
referene here). When shooting, theres a light sequence moving forward along the barrel of the blaster. I don't know what it does when you press the trigger multiple times, but what I wanted to do was to concatenate shots and be able to shift multiple lights.
Same concept, but with a WS2812 LED strip.
LED Ammo counterAn ammo counter, (4 green, 2 yellow and 2 red LEDs) idea by Hik'aari Kelborn.
Wireless Rangefinder controllerThis 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 Mandos rangefinders .
