Celebrate Star Wars Day with this list of Force-inspired projects
"May the Fourth be with you" is one of those sayings that has been ingrained in our culture thanks to the popularity of Star Wars, and few things represent its impact more than custom props, costumes, and costumes. projects that fans around the world have built. To celebrate this year's "holiday", here is a list of Arduino-powered versions of a makerspace in a galaxy far, far away that will awaken the DIY power within you!
A virtual platform for Blaster accessoriesThe plasma/laser blaster is an iconic weapon in the Stars Wars universe, with nearly every character having wielded one at some point. To make it easier to create blaster accessories, YouTuber CCHobbyFun has developed a system based on the Arduino Nano Every that connects an ammo counter, animated range display, and LEDs. In addition to these features, it also supports sound effects through a combination MP3 player and speaker.
Ever wanted to listen to the conversations of enemy assault troopers and battle droids? This device by The Last Outpost Workshop on YouTube now empowers you by presenting users with a switch to change from storm trooper mode to droid mode. After making a selection, various conversations are looped using an Arduino Nano and an MP3 player and audio levels are displayed via an LED matrix at the top.
Aside from R2-D2 and C-3PO, no other droid is as recognizable as BB-8 in the sequels. However, rather than just building another clone of BB-8, Eric Ameres blended the droid with DO's form to create a self-balancing platform. He incorporated an Arduino Uno, a gyroscope and some motors to drive the two hemispheres and tilt/rotate the head on top.
Two years ago, maker Manguel Ahumada began designing a fully autonomous Baby Yoda robot inspired by the Mandalorian TV series that uses AI to track him. Beyond processing image data and sending commands to motors via a Raspberry Pi, the robot also uses an Arduino Pro Micro to read incoming sensor data.
Wanting to combine all the most remarkable images from the Star Wars universe into one project, Kutluhan Aktar developed his own smart lamp with a twist. Every component, including the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, fans, etc., has been soldered to the incredibly designed Millenium Falcon PCB and then attached to the 3D printed base. With this, he could view real-time environmental data through a mobile app and turn the lights on or off.
One of the reasons assembling working models of BB-8 is so difficult is the droid's ability to roll in any direction while keeping its head up. Ilge Ipek's innovative design moves his custom Arduino Nano board and two motors inside the main ball while using magnets at the top to maintain head position in addition to providing completely wireless control via Bluetooth.
YouTuber James Bruton is famous for his robot-building abilities, and his B2EMO chassis from the Andor series takes it to the next level. Based on the Arduino Mega 2560 and an nRF24L01 radio transceiver module, his robot can drive in...
