arduino: a cheap board for E11 blaster effects

[skyone]

there is no need to change the code, i used an arduino pro mini to control the speaker of the helmet and no difficult to program it

just get the 5volt version and the USB to RS232 converter to program it

the digital pins and pwm pins are same number as arduino nano

and get a 5v 1A voltage regulator to power the mini amp and the mp3 player, because, as you can see, it's not supported on that board.

[cibcon1]

thanks manuel, i will use the mini pro, if i can do make to work i will post my results, do  you think i can put diodes in the battery voltage to decrease the voltage to 5v?

it's  better you use a voltage regulator

that you need only for mp3 amp and mp3 player because arduino mini pro has its own

[Marshall[TK]]

That's the same route (building a power regulator circuit) I'm taking since I have to power the mp3 and amp with only 3v

ok, thanks manuel and niccolo, i order a nano board but i will try use the mini i have and post the results when the amp and player arrive a my home, greetings from mexico.

Hi all,

 

I want to build an arduino blaster, too. All parts have been ordered (in three different currencies by the way) and the first parts have arrived. Yesterday I tested the Arduino and edited the blinking program. So far, so good. I have some expericences with raspberry pi but this will be my first arduino project. I think this will be very funny.

 

 

Greetings from Germany and I wish you a nice arduino weekend

Hi,

 

I cannot download / see the schemes. Is anyone still able to see it?

I can see it !

[Balders]

Good luck with your build.

 

I made this with some of my left-over/spare parts:

 

[JohnDoe2000]

Hi all,

 

here is is small update from Germany. I received the first parts of my arduino blaster build. With this parts i wars able to activate the counter nice, isn't it The trigger and reload button are working fine. Now I have to wait for the RGB LED and the sound module.

Hey Christian,

 

pic's not working ...

 

Try a photobucket account and copy the url in your post.

 

Works guaranteed.

OK, folks. Do you see it now? I used TinyPic

Hi all,

 

I have an idea and perhaps anyone can help me. I plan to control each LED of the 10 segment display and not only 5 LEDs. At the moment the nano always turns two LEDs off at the same time. For instance after 8 shots the first tow of the LEDs turns off. I want that the first LED turns off after 4 short and the second after another 4 shots.

 

Long, long ago I've learned that I'm able to get 16 states out of 4 bits. So today I googled a little bit and ordered this decoder:

 

http://www.ebay.de/itm/231737470476?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

The main idea is to get more flexibility to control the 10 segment display and you only have to use 4 instead of 5 digital outputs. If my calculations are correct I have the use 150Ohm resistors instead of the 30 Ohm resistors.

 

What do you think about my idea? Does the decoder fit the project parameters? Can anyone help me?

Hi Christian,

 

you don't need the multiplexer. The Pins A0 - A5 can also be used as digital pins (only in case that the Arduino copy will work like the original one).

 

Today my WT5001 arrived and i will build a test circuit. I will work on this problem,too.

 

Best reguards from Germany

[skyone]

i avoided to use all pins to control each segment of led bar because so many wires would be hard to fit inside, hope you can do it

Hi Nik,

 

a coworker of me told me exactly the same today. I already tested to control one LED of the 10 segment display with the analog input pin A0 and it works very well.

 

So if the extra wire fit in the pipe, I think I implement the other 4 LEDs, too. It wars vary easy to use the analog pin. The syntax ist the same and you don't need to initialize extra libs and you don't have to implement extra methods.

 

Very cool

 

regards,

Christian

I've made a somewhat lighter version of Skyone's Arduino Kit:

 

 

Unfortunately, the sound of the trigger switch is behaving funnily in the sense that it only plays the switch sounds irregularly but without any frequent pattern. This is a Link to the code:

 

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=58488474502670898710

 

Any ideas are much appreciated

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

I have had the same problem, it is caused by sending the single no cycle command all the time, even if it already set.

I added a function which checks if a change is needed and only sends the command in this case.

Sadly i can´t post the needed lines as my code differs pretty much from the original one.

 

But if its ok and does not create confusion with the original project i can post the whole layout/code here.

 

Regards

[StriderX[501st]]

Hi Rainer,

 

sure, would be cool if you could post the code here or a link to the code file.

 

Cheers

[Talltrooper]

Hi,

 

So here is the full layout and code, its still pretty much in beta state, especially everything with the counter needs a rewrite. And not everything planed is supported yet.

The layout is based on the arduino nano, i used the internal pullups on the arduino board, thats the reason why the whole triggerlogic is inverted, and its missing the trigger resistors.

I was not able to get a 2GB SD card so i testet a 8GB SD HC and is does the job flawless, even when the soundmodule descriptions told that you are limited to the small ones.

 

Regards

Rainer
