Deflector and Torpedo Effects
Main code for the Enterprise Deflector and Torpedo effects is now complete.
Tweaks to the timings and/or deflector colours are still possible.
For anyone stumbling over this video by accident, its an Arduino Uno (ATMega328) powered led effects unit to enable fade up/down of a modelled USS Enterprise's deflector dish to emulate the screen model during supposed transition to and from warp drive, and also photon torpedo firing.
Each effect is driven independently from two pushbuttons.
Sound courtesy Eurosport for the Giro d'Italia commentary and son David for comments directed at a hamster!!
For anyone who is interested, I've posted the Arduino code I came up with on my blog:
