Animatronic Berserker Cannon Build

[carss66]

This is my berserker cannon mods to make more screen accurate.Still loads to do and more parts to get,but its coming together nicely lol.This will be controlled by an arduino board and switches.

Looks awesome, but will it follow targets, or will you remote-control it with the switches?

switches will open/close and rotate the barrels.

Looking forward to watching this build.  I see you're using an arduino.  Have you looked into the arduino nano? http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano  Its the same as the uno, but is way smaller (0.73"x1.70") .  It has all the same pins, has the same amount of memory, but is almost small enough to fit inside a match box.  It's what I use in my bomb gauntler and a few other non pred related projects I've done.  I have a uno as well that I use with proto board, but use the nano for the finished project because of it's size.  If you look around you can find it for $15-18.00, which is almost cheaper than the uno.  Might save you some space.

thanks mate.will look into the nano,as i only have a small space to fit the elec's into the body armour.just need to get the rc swashplate and switches to finish this.

One word: Kickass! I wish I had most of the materials for that kind of stuff.

thanks mate.i buy bit by bit every month on payday,so give it ago mate.

So did you fabricate the parts you are showing us. They look great.

yes mate.the cannon barrels were cut from a copy out of the mold i made.still have to work out the parts to stop the front opening to far,and the electrics but getting there lol.

 

[carss66]

update on the cannon.now its all together i just need to work out the programming on the arduino v3 to work it all.

many thanks brian,just need to work out the arduino and paint it haha.

Damn, you guys make this look easy, making my Bio mask was TOUGH!

haha glad you think so.this is doing my head in haha.now the arduino program wont work.

I have no Idea how you come up with great stuff. I am having so much trouble, I'm about to commit myself...
