Solder up the AVR + regulator onto a perf board, according to the schematic. Include programming headers (MOSI / MISO / SCK / RESET) and a 6 pin breakout for the PS2 controller wires you soldered last step.The schematic for this is below:
Glue a 3xAAA battery holder to the outside of the case. Connect the power switch in series with the positive side of the battery. Re-assemble the case. You should now have a self contained unit with batteries on the outside and a switch....
PLEASE NOTE: Before you dive right in and assemble your Wave shield, there are a few things you will need to take note of: Make sure that you use the 'Stacking headers' on your wave shield. It will be in the middle of the stack so that...
Now that you have gotten some of the parts, and hopefully stocked your parts bins and caused some carnage in the process, we are ready to proceed. This is the end goal of this hullabaloo:You will wind two large inductors using the cores you salvaged...
Winding the inductors is easier than you might think! I used about 4 feet of 18GA Magnet wire to wind the inductors for this particular power supply. Each inductor has ~30 turns on it for an inductance of about 90uH. If you don't have...
Now that the PSU is done, Arguably the most difficult part, the rest is pretty easy. There are two major components that need to be built now: The control circuit for the HV psu, and the Hand sensor.These are the last two critical custom...
In this step, how the Arduino shield stack gets assembled, and how to wire your wave shield will be discussed. If you remember the note from the top in step 1, You hopefully used stacking headers to build your wave shield. If you didn't,...
