xl97's Iron Man motorized face plate tutorial

[xl97]

glad it all worked out!

 

[vincentallen2]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this world of Arduino. I definitely have to give thanks to xl97 for helping making affordable costume motorization possible for other users and myself

Now for my question to any experienced user here:

I just bought two Dccduino Nanos (arduino nano clones), one for practice and future usage and the other to actually use on my current helmet. My helmet already has led and sounds, so the only this that's missing is servos for the faceplate

Along with two 12kg metal gear servos, jumper wires, and a breadboard that I'm ordering would this parts kit be sufficient enough to just for a pair of servos for my helmet?

The kit is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291928605228

IMHO...

if all you need is the motorized portion..

then a voltage regulator (whatever your servos need.. usually its +6v)...
servo(s)
battery pack
and button

is all you would need.

resistors, pots, and header pins I dont think will do you much good here..


post some specs on the servo and get a voltage regulator to match...

remember to connect all ground wires together.. (battery, Arduino and servos!)

Nano clones should be fine.. are they +3.3v or +5v based clones?

Hey! Thanks for the reply xl97, I really appreciate it man!

The two nanos I ordered from ebay are supposed to be 5v

Specs for the servos are:

Gear Type: All Metal Gears
Operating Speed: 0.17sec / 60 degrees (4.8V no load)
Operating Speed: 0.13sec / 60 degrees (6.0V no load)
Stall torque:12kg/cm(6V)
Operation Voltage : 4.8 - 7.2 V Temperature range: 0℃ to 55℃
Power Supply: Through External Adapter

What are the specs of the 'power supply'...

Are you sure you want to use an external power supply? Wouldnt a battery pack be easier to use for your costume?

I would use a +7.4v li-ion pack with enough current (mA) as you can find.

I would still get a +6v voltage regulator for the servo side of things..

same as the diagram posted around here.. but make it a +6v regulator instead of a +5v regulator.. (might need to read the spec sheet and see what, if any, caps are required for it)

Oh that part about the power supply can directly from the description box

These are the servos I was referring to:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/262744766375

Me personally, I would like to power the setup using something rechargeable. Maybe a small portable power bank used for mobile devices? But if you think battery would be better, then I will try to fit one into the helmet

You can buy/use rechargable li-ion batteries.

you can even wire in a re-charge port, so they batteries never need to be taken out of the 'prop/project' if you like.. but you would need a li-ion battery charger than as well.

its done all the time in the lightsaber scene.

or you can still use re-charageable li-ions but remove them and charge them.. (still need a charger then)

I'm sure this stuff can probably be found elsewhere for cheaper..

but you can rest assured that the quality and shipping is top notch from The Custom Saber Shop: http://www.thecustomersabershop.com


Batteries:
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Li-ion-Packs-C85.aspx

Chargers:
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Li-ion-Chargers-C86.aspx

Re-Charge Ports/Kill Keys..etc (misc):
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Clips-Connectors-C37.aspx

What you need is something that not only can deliver the correct voltage (to both the Arduino and Servos).. but also have enough current to run things for a while.

A single servo can draw upwards of 1 AMP in current when under load or spiking.. (you'll have 2).. but the Arduino..etc and whatever else

A Panasonic 7.4v Li-ion 3400mAh 18650 Battery Pack but in side by side style might be a good option. (have to source elsewhere for side by side packs.. they wont fit in any current saber hilt styles.. so they arent carried at TCSS)

Hi @x197
Thanks for posting all of this great info. I'm new to the boards and to the world of electronics. I've been reading through this board and the other massive board, as well as watching lots of videos, trying to figure everything out. I guess right now my biggest question is how does your wiring schematic translate to testing on the bread board. I've bought all of the supplies and have been tinkering with everything with different levels of success but ultimately am still feeling pretty lost with all of this. Thanks.

 

[xl97]

Sorry.. I'm not sure what your question is?

Using a breadboard would be no different than how you see things wired up in the image/diagram.

any time wires connect.. make sure you are using the same ROW in the breadboard.

if there is something more specific.. just ask.. we'll help if we can!

Hello,
First of all, thank you for all your explanation, I started with arduino, I just found your code with the servo and I can not get it to work properly with RFID module.
My servo works, but by compiling your code with mine, nothing happens as expected, the LEDs do not go off when I close the headset.
could you help me to redo the correct code with arduino and RFID?
thanks again
Have a good day

1.) Please wrap your code in between CODE tags [ code ] code pasted here [/ code ]

* remove the spaces in the -code- tags as well..

That way its more readable, and easier to copy/paste into the IDE

2.) Post a link to your RFID reader.. so we know what your using and the documentation..

* dont believe I have the same one?.. so testing will be hard..


That code compiles?? hmmm..

Also.. I dont even see where you are trying to trigger any state change in your RFID routine?? I dont think you are. (hard to tell)

 

[xl97]

Why didnt you use the code with the led and servo stuff in it? (together)

And just add your RFID checking routine to the IDLE state/loop..to call your readRFID() function?

then on active 1 or 0 you can change the STATE to start routines already there/established?

I'm sorry if my english is not good, I'm french: D
I am new in arduino, I learn a lot but I have no basis in electronics or electricity.

Thank you very much and I will try to continue to edit, but I do not know how to start the code by replacing the buttons (as you have posted) by triggering the rfid.

Hi, I'm really happy, I managed to work as I wanted!
I post the code that works for me!
I managed by modifying, adding, a lot of codes, I started to understand what some codes do !!!!!!!
I am far from being an expert but happy to have succeeded !!!!
Thank you again for your help, I will see on the forum because it has been a gold mine for me, a lot of explanation and support!
Good evening to you and thank you for your patience !!

You arent using my code.. and you dont seem to need help any more..

please post in your own thread.

This thread is for the assets posted here.. and help with that code/schematic..etc..

Thanks

ahh sorry, I did not know!
Sorry to have invaded your thread.
I wanted to post it so I could help other people.
I did not create a thread!
Thank you again for your help !

do you want me to delete my messages?

 

[xl97]

I'm saying.. if you post in your OWN thread.. others will see it and benefit from it..

If they see it here...

It might be confusing since it does NOT use the code supported in this thread/initial post.

- nothing to be sorry about!
