Dalek gun and sound effects

http://www.stephenhobley.com/blog/daleks/

Got most of the bugs out of the system regarding the sound fx module - a wave shield from adafruit.com on top of an Arduino.

I built a gate circuit that turns pulse width into a logic 1/0, effectively hooking the arduino TTL into the servo control signals from the RC receiver.

This is processed by the Arduino that plays the sound effect, then raises an output pin high to trigger an optoisolated power transistor to activate the water pump.

(That sounds waaaay more complicated than it is)

hi mate, im not sure what im doing wrong i want a water pump iin my dalek wree using a electric one but its just not powerfull enough do you have any idea what i could do

[shobley]

I tried a couple of pumps - but I found a 12V car pump to be the best one. Just make sure the nozzle hole is really small, and your tank is on the same level as the pump and you should be OK.

where did you get the laser beam sound?

[Agui007]

All it needs now is a Kaled mutant inside it as there are so many electronics to make it look real :)

no alien from the inside :(

It does a wee.

Say, I have a real life dalek that shoots water and would like to know where i could get and atomic moduliser from

[kittenluvermeowz]

...Is it just me, or does the water seem to come out of the plunger side?

i have i life sise dalek were making it in 2 dalek sec can eanyone give my some tips lol

Personnaly i would have put something like a 25 or 50 MW laser pen inside. They dont harm anyone, but its just a simple visible laser rather than a dot on most laser pens.

You could make it come out of the gun

it sounded like you just flushed....
