And another thing is working! I went back to my voltage meter / battery monitoring sketch. This time I decided to use the voltage divider that is already on board the Adafruit Feathers. See also the Adafruit learning guide for the Feather M0 Bleufruit (it's also on the Basic Proto version). I...

I finally got around to uploading a video about the battery monitoring sketch I mentioned in a previous update. It’s actually a voltage meter that turns on a red LED when the voltage drops to a set voltage. Unfortunately it’s not yet working correctly when it’s not hooked up to my computer. My...

Thank you Darthy. Glad to hear that! Stay tuned for more making goodness ;)

Whoops, missed the comments. Being on holiday and getting busy with work didn't help ;) Thank you erv. I'm very glad I'm getting there ^^ Cool to read about your solution to monitoring battery life. I have been working on writing a sketch and got that working. However it still needs some work...

It's all coming along a lot quicker this time. Over a week ago I finished the first 3 video's on the Arduino sketch and today I finished and uploaded the last video. As I progress I will of course create more video's on the sketch. I also created a video about ripping audio from a video file...

Thank you propmaster2000 ! Really cool to read you've been active in the industry for so long. I've seen a number of your posts in the past, it's really really cool what you do. Thank you for appreciating my first effort at prop making :) The whole Arduino thing was new for me aswell, made...

Thanks Soulintertia, it's greatly appreciated! :)

Hello Everyone finally shot and uploaded the long awaited update. I'll be working on a few follow up videos that will explain the different steps I took whilst I was writing the sketch. Had to learn a few new things. All in all it was very educational but it did take up "some" time. But the...

Hi propmaster2000 Your disc definitely looks great! I would not feel bad having that one! :) I had it easy with the NeoPixels ;) Good question about the discharge voltage. I'm aware of that and on of the things I want to add is a voltage devider. That voltage devider will be connected to my M0...

Hi everyone, Quick update. Was hoping to post more details but unfortunately I ran into a snag while making a video update. I have to reshoot it. It's getting too late for that right now so a video will be posted tomorrow. Anyway, the disc is finally spinning using the animation code from Erv...

Hi, I think a fast/easy way to add sound would be using a small speaker and the following board from Adafruit: Adafruit Audio FX Mini Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger 16MB Flash I thought of that one in my initial design but did not go for it since I wanted to store the entire soundtrack album...

Look great! Thanks for sharing, glad I could help you :) I like how you took smaller printers into consideration in your design. Good thinking! I might get one in the future but I'll probably start out with a smaller one first so stuff like this would help someone like me a lot ^^ Good luck...

No problem! Glad to help ;) We have to stick together indeed, that's why I'm sharing my build and plan in sharing other stuff I do both here, on my website and on YouTube. I feel it's very fulfilling to help others as stuff others have shared helps me. Thing is people usually stay interested...

Back with another update! :) Unfortunately the last few weeks have again been busy so I didn’t get much work done on the disc. I did finally get all the hardware finished now. The Adafruit Push-button Power Switch Breakout has been installed and I added the 1000µF 10V capacitor to the...

I double checked. The blade adds 1cm on both sides of the disc. So without the blade the total diameter is ~20,8cm
