hello. This is an awesome trap, and if i may ask, what electronics did it use, and if used any coding, what was it and where can I find it? also, how did you make the trap open, did you use any kit or did you use a mish mash of elcetronics.
So, I'm looking to upgrade my ten year old ghost trap to something a bit more stable. what files did you use and any step by step build video? GBFans was too toxic for me, and left about 10 years ago. havn't looked bakc.
Hi. I used the www.thingiverse.com/thing:1394492 and the pedal is linked from there, for the print files. I used fidget spinners to get bearings for the wheels. I sourced the chains and sprockets for the doors in the UK. I used a Raspberry Pi Pico for the brain and MCPMCP23017 port expander to drive the LEDS. Used a standard 10 seg bar graph for the display, with my own custom bezel. I found an aquarium pump and ecig for the smoke, glycerine for the smoke. It uses standard USB power bank for power. Has a rotary encoder for the knob on the side. I did my own thing with the Foster connectors as none of the solutions I could see on you tube or forums were up to my standard, i wanted a good connection and it to be not as fragile as some of those solutions. You can see a video linked from my Thingiverse about all that, I was really happy with the result and found it very reliable in public. I made my own belt mount to allow the trap to sit very securely on my belt. The new movie has brought a new generation of kids costuming which is really nice. Any questions or help give me a message and I'll exchange details. I do this for fun and am not trying to be movie accurate and just want to enjoy the build, so no high drama. www.thingiverse.com/thing:5027197 www.thingiverse.com/thing:4916971 www.thingiverse.com/thing:4916963 www.thingiverse.com/thing:4911163 www.thingiverse.com/thing:4894960 www.thingiverse.com/thing:4897811
