Amulet wiringNote: The wires typically used for an electronics project will not work in a costume! Typical project wires can only be bent a couple of times before breaking. They are not made to withstand the constant (even gentle) bending and flexing...
As shown in the photo, the prototyping card also supported a DIN connector that included the audio output to a speaker, 5V, and a switch cct (gnd+sense) that led to a speaker and ultimately a "kill switch".
The speaker was re-purposed from an old Motorola hands-free set. It is a unit with a housing that included a decent speaker, power ccts, and amplification. A coiled cord ran out one end to an auto lighter adapter and a second coiled cord ran to a jack...
Solder the amplifier circuit, dead bug style.Solder the speaker output of the Bluetooth headset to the 100 Ohm resistor. Cut the heat shrink tube to cover,Solder the resistor now to pin 2 of the TransistorSolder pin 3 of the Transistor to the Power connection...
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,...
To get a good idea how we made the electrodes, you can read the project update entitled "The Hand Thingie". If you want to use the same sensing set up we used, this worked well. Any sort of Object that is fairly ergonomic and can have the...
Jacket Wiring, LED Setup, and Light Pipe Assembly.I never took pictures of this process with the first prototype so I need to complete the second prototype and take pictures to use as visual aides along the way, I should have them up in another week...
If you would like to build one of these for yourself here is the breadboard layout You will need to burn the arduino bootloader onto the atmega328 so that you can upload the sketch from my github HERE. You are free to use what you want...
Tickernut circuit design and hardware:Enclosure:The motherboard is shaped to fit tightly inside a standard ABS jiffy box which set its limited size. The box has cutouts to expose all motherboard connectors on the left side and a small speaker and antenna...
Tickernut construction log:Construction was completed in stages over the period of many months with a design that evolved to suit the available parts. The progression of construction was arranged so that each stage could be completed and tested...
Ripping Everthing Apart!This is the fun part.Find yourself an old LCD Monitor.. Thrift Shops are great for this.I got my LCD Monitor used in the arcade for $8!I took everything apart on it, to save space, weight, and because I was mounting it into a...
Assemble the case: Add a little glue to the edges of each plate (A-1 through A-5) and press fit them together. The arrows and letters on plates A-1 through A-4 should match up as shown in Image 1. You might want to use some...
