[pokeswithstick]

@boganinasuit Wow. Thanks man. Your diggin' the Nerf thing huh?

[sbonkosky]

Wow man that thing is awesome, great work!!

[pokeswithstick]

@sbonkosky It was a lot of fun to build. I'm probably taking to Seattle MIni Maker Faire this June.

[jamarjones]

[JKLNproductoins]

Put an airsoft gun on it like an M60 or something like that

[ace20123]

cool keep the nerf gun on it though looks great

[philbrick5]

Did you have any experience writing code? So far thats been my biggest issue with my project is learning how to write and implement code.

[pokeswithstick]

@philbrick5 The code was the hardest part for me as well. I started REALLY basic. Incredibly basic. Read that "Starting with Arduino" book. Super easy read. I also spent some time in the Arduino Forums messing around with other peoples code. Its fun to learn. Good luck.

&Gensocouger im gonna have to side with the yank on this one although i agree with you that those kids could use those chairs the goverment should give them full working ones rather than broken ones

[pokeswithstick]

Its wireless now. will make new video soon. . . .

[Santuni3]

NICE :) 

[Genscocougar]

@unaclocker quit being a bitch!!!!!! You are probably from the U.S. and think that violence is the only solution. This project will probably be coming to a city near you with a real gun on it shooting innocent people! You are probably the same daft wanker that is throwing mines into villages for children to mame themselves with....bloody yank! I dislike anyone who watches these violent videos on youtube to satisfy their need for violence! Warmonger!

[mrgeraldbrent]

Please, make more videos of this remarkable project!

[Genscocougar]

you should be ashamed of yourself!!!! There are children around the world who have stepped on landmines and need this chair, and you make a toy out of it. Be ashamed good sir, be ashamed!

[unaclocker]

@Genscocougar Get bent. These wheelchair bases are tossed in the garbage by the truck load all the time in the US. You can thank lawyers and lawsuits for that problem. Repurposing used devices that are deemed no longer safe to put a person on is what I call recycling.

I also was wondering what the round pcb is?

[pokeswithstick]

@fellowsjeff The round PCB was originally in the base of the joystick. Power came from the chair to the joystick base where it first connected to the round PCB you seen in the video. Then to the actual joystick. I relocated it due to space issues in the joystick base. Then just ran a Cat-5 cable from the black box to the joystick base for 5volts, ground, X and Y axis. This made wiring the whole thing a little easier.

Beautiful job, well done on all fronts,

[pokeswithstick]

@getFreal Thank you. It's been tons of fun to build. Its constantly changing.



[pnazmaestro]

You've done pretty well on your own; can't wait to move home and show you how it's done! I mean...help.

[pokeswithstick]

@pnazmaestro Huh?
