Love it or hate it (I know all too well you can't please everyone) I've got a new pke built including the potentiometer controlled lights/ sound.
And I KNOW the sound is what people are going to either tolerate or hate. And I get it. But I've tried 3 different sound boards and multiple lines of code to get it to work with "movie accurate" sounds that change speed with the potentiometer and they just don't work or they lag too much when jumping from one sound file to the next. They are after all just MP3 players playing designated tracks. Where as this the break between "beeps" is controlled solely by the potentiometer. So lights sound and wing movement is all copacetic
And the finished containment unit. As you can prob tell I've taken inspiration from the video game, the cartoon and the movies with all the elements on this. It's essentially a peppers ghost illusion, with an iPad hidden in the top projecting down onto an angled piece of perspex
We got one!!!! ;) caught and contained
How the new PKE are looking with potentiometer control for the lights and arm animation
It's coming together nicely
Update.
I've got a date for surgery. It's not until March. So I've got a bit of a wait. I'm going in for spinal surgery so it's pretty serious and I'm still in a lot of pain. BUT I am also trying my best to work. The next 6 months are going to be difficult. Happy to say though I'm doing as much as I can to get all previous orders out before I go under the knife
I am also back to taking orders, there is definitely going to be limits spots available though so I don't over work myself.
Currently working on a new PKE, this one will have the rear wheel control the opening of the wings
Also FINALLY working on a pack for myself, some of you know which one, I'm going for the sparking phoebe pack from frozen empire
I also have an idea for a portable containment unit. It'll show slimer trapped inside and had elements of the containment units from the cartoon, the movies and the video game
A few orders have already gone out and that's not too mention the dozen or so orders that are almost finished. It's just taking time and money of which I have little of either at the moment due to my slightly limited work capacity, which is why I want/ need to get back into working whilst trying not to over stress my injuries too much
As I continue to fulfil orders as fast as I can in still working on a side project for myself too.
Slime scoop in action ^_^
Almost forgot .... I also modded a toaster ;)
