Proton Pack with Arduino and LASERS!

[DevilMaster]

You should've said: "Well, THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING, but they sure look nice."

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

could you post a video of the lasers working in the dark? the picture you posted on the site was...er slightly impressive but I just want to see the epic thing in action =D

THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

[gina21duncan]

Hello I am a member of gbfans and I the process of my own pack. For some reason I cany get instructables to work so I wanted to ask if you can send me instructions on installing the lasers. I am on the boards as solodarkprince. That is also my AOL email. Hope to hear back soon. If you email me make sure you state who youe are in case it goes to my spam. Happens sometimes.

Shine a laser in my eye and Ill stick that pack up your ass sideways.

[PEIDanielScott]

can you see the beam on the lasers? Can we get a video of that if possible?

[241Groundhog]

' got to be a lot of work.

[opigir]

Nice work, and every thing is better with lasers!

[quadrangleman]

So awesome. Good work. I was at a bar for halloween where I saw a group of four guys dressed up as the ghostbusters. I wonder if they could see how disappointed I was when I noticed they had on those silly inflatable store bought proton packs. They got nothing on you man.

[memos415]

Nice work man. I just finished working on mine. I spent the last 12 days obsessing over my proton pack for Halloween, although I did not have time to put in lights. Still happy with it. I might give it another shot to make another one next year. I must admit it is addicting to be able to perfect a proton pack.

nice work.

[Cloakedsphere]

wtf is a proton pack

[shiannejessica]

Did you see the thing in the video? That's a proton pack.

[raza133]

nice work

[shiannejessica]

Thank you raza!

[oscuragotham]

Dude, great work!

[shiannejessica]

Thanks for the kind comment oscura!

[thegoferj]

the thing looks great but no power up sound maybe next year. still looks great

[shiannejessica]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to incorporate sound next year. There are some really awesome videos of the more professionally done packs that involve sound, but I've been trying to build this one "on the cheap" since day one. The flight suit was $40 and that was the biggest expense so far.

[ducttape83]

needs a pistol belt. It just looks weird without the belt. You can get one for cheap at a hardware store.

[BrokeToeProductions]

this is amazing you are an artist

[shiannejessica]

Thank you, that's a very nice compliment. I don't really consider myself an artist, I just like to build things.

[2x4tube]

hahaha!!  man thats cool! well done!!

[shiannejessica]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[mzn1991]

very nicee! you should add a mini fog machine so the lasers can be seen. Idk it look cool

[shiannejessica]

Yeah I know, that's definitely a project for next year.

[shrikedecil]

Very solid.

Put chipped dry ice in the "Trap" with a method to open/close + add water if possible.

The resulting fog would allow dramatic improvement in the visibility of the lasers.

[shiannejessica]

A lot of people have been saying something similar. I tried to work out a way to open the trap with stuff I had on hand, but I didn't want to do it unless I'd be able to close it with the trigger as well. These are all projects (along with sound!) that I'm going to try to incorporate in next year's upgrade.

[Shigeo86]

where's the arduino?

[shiannejessica]

In the wand. It just barely fits with all the wires and stuff!

[sassykoala]

who ya gonna call?!!!!

[shiannejessica]

Call India, she's the best ghostbuster!
