Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) - Nuke remote trigger device

[sschueller]

A small progress update:

I designed a new PCB which just arrived that is simpler but still fit into the case. Next is to test it works correctly with the LCD.

Any news on the progress of this?

Wish i had your talents, you're making this look very easy

 

[The Searcher]

How’s this moving along? I’m anxious to hear more.

Sorry, I have not posted in a very long time. I am still working on the project, it just slow going

I now have the board tested and will be ordering the final version. I also made some more changes to the main case to make the board and everything fit correctly.

I am still hoping to find the key off the shelf somewhere but my searching has not found anything even close. I just seems so specific in design that it may actually exist. If you look you can see the rectualgar pins have a bevel in the center.

Have you taken a look at the FOG-FSG firing systems, the prop seems to be modelled pretty close to it

I wonder if the switch/button is from a modular F1 type steering wheel

Sorry for not posting for so long. I got side tracked and build this (not a prop but movie inspired). I got some new PCBs for this project, a new 3d printer and I hope to continue now that my other project is done.

Hello everyone!
I just started to build the same prop (variation) and this are my first results. My plan is to convert this prop into a gps synchronized alarm clock and a remote light switch for my phillips hue system.

For the electronics I am planning to use:

- ESP-WROOM-32U with external antenna
- Waveshare 2.4" LCD
- GPS for precise time
- some kind of buzzer for the alarm
- 18650 or 21700 battery for power

Here is my first rough (partly) finished cad assembly:

Right now, I am still thinking about the buttons and their labeling. The preferred solution are custom casted buttons out of silicone with a widened base, whitch can be glued to the top cover plate and are supported by tactile buttons below.

I want to create the three cover plates out of 3 mm aluminium sheet metal and the body out of some sturdy pastic. My dream would be a cnc machined anodized body, but that is probalby a little bit too expensive.

Any progress on either of these builds? It's been awhile...

I believe the arming key is bespoke.

That’s what a laptop should look like.
OT…in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE…was the chrome feature over the destruct button off a refrigerator?

I like coverings over distruct switches…any compilation?

Has anyone attempted the whole actual bomb that goes with this remote?

I am find a LOT of discrepancies between various shots of the weapon in the Blu-ray.
The timer on the weapon is added using CGI.. Pretty sure of that. There are various shots of the 2x timers and they are entirely different.
I believe there are 2x timers on the main weapon.

Close shots show a plastic enclosure with an Acrylic/Plastic front cover. Kinda home made look.

Bigger/wider shots show simple ABS recessed lid enclosures which I think they may have overlaid graphics onto. Can't find those with the hinge on the end.

Been trying to scale the whole bomb and there are discrepancies there too. Not much info on this thing.
Don't want to hijack this thread, so once I get going, I will start my own thread.

Only got Tinkercad which I am somewhat pushing the limits of. REALLY awkward shape to work with this...

This Apem (if indeed, that is what it is) toggle switch cover is proving a pain to source.

It doesn't match any Apem toggle cover they currently make. Various screen shots show it to be a different shape at the end, and also there is no hole in the cover as a few previous images here have shown.

Apart from the mentally expensive ones I have found (that are not correct anyway), I am stumped. This might be a make from scratch thing

 

[EngineeringDeck]

OK. The toggle switch cover in the movie is indeed an Apem part (red, bezel at each end and no hole in it). But not available through their usual sources and is now actually discontinued.
I contacted Apem and managed to get their last 6 they had for free samples. Excellent.

Remote is now nearly finished. I did start another thread, but I don't think anyone is following this at all, so I will stop the story here.
