"Hello, everybody!" "Hello, Dr. Nick!"
Been a lurker here for a while, and I really enjoy reading/seeing what other people are working on and the different designs and such. I'm a huge Iron Man and Spiderman fan from my childhood, but I enjoy a large gamut of sci-fi, fantasy writing, anime, and general geek.
I'm an elec eng student in Thunder Bay, Ontario, but originally from Newfoundland, and primarily I'm involved in electronics and the sort, but as a kid I build model cars and planes and such, so now it's kind of drifted into props and "active-models" with lights and action. My last couple of projects have been my Mk. I wearable Arc Reactor, and a prototype Repulsor arm-unit is in the works along with a new MkIV PCB light board and mask so it can be worn under a shirt for fun.
I'm currently working on a design for a Guardian Keytool from Reboot, but rather than just the box on my arm, I want to make it functional and interactive so I'm integrating a voice-rec board and a microcontroller to respond to voice commands with gear movement and RGB lighting. This is still in the design phase, but I hope to get my development VR board soon.
I hope to talk to many of you soon, and here's to happy building!
