CuriousMarc Holo Lights v2.0

Holo Lights

Ordering the PCBs ahead of time from OSH Park, the only thing I needed for these were the electronics components and the reflector cone.  These were a little tricky to assemble but not to bad.  I installed the .22uF capacitor in the tutorial to show you how it’s done, but I later took it out and added a 10k resistor piggy backing the 100k resistor for a fading effect using an Arduino sketch.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

To start with, instructions for assembly can be found here.  Once assembled, they just need to be tested out and put into your holoprojectors.

Just hook them up to a small 2v batter to test them out.

Making a Radar Eye Lens


The Radar Eye lens is very simple to make. You will need a 4″ half sphere and black spray paint. It doesn’t get much simpler than this. Place the sphere and mark it where it meets with the inside you your Radar Eye. Cut that line and paint the inside of it black. Test the fit and see how it fits inside the Radar Eye while on the dome. You can secure it by using hot glue or JB Weld.

The Dome Topper for R2D2

This one is quite simple.  Using a 1/2″ Hole Plug as the Dome Topper, you just have to use a step down bit to widen the  hole to around 1/2″.  A little sanding may be required.  A bit of paint to match R2s color and just pop it right in!
