Det är kul med radiostyrda specialeffekter!
Igår var jag i “Hallen” och hjälpte Peter att programmera två radiosändare som ska styra en monstermask till ett hemligt projekt 
It started with a small idea…
Well, I promised you the story about the fireCrow project.
Fasten your seat belts ’cause here it goes! 
In the beginning there were only 2 channels…
It all started with an idea about making a small and secure 2 channel wireless firing system primary used for squibs (sfx body hits). I didn’t thought that there was anything like that on the market, all I knew about was a single channel, made in China system that was quite expensive, lack of security and didn’t have a nice form factor (if you aske me).
So i simply started to investigate how to make my own system, what kind of hardware to use and how to put it together, since I didn’t have any knowledge about electronics to start with it was like a jungle for me. Continue reading
Finally!
fireCrow v2.0 PCB’s ordered
Yesterday I ordered the PCB’s for the fireCrow v2.0 and the PyroFyro 4ch module.
Here below you can see the PCB designs:
coming soon…
fireCrow v2.0 coming soon
The PCB design for fireCrow v2.0 is finished, I’m just going to double check everything twice or more 
There also is a 4 channel plug-in card design finished.
The design is especially made after Lennart’s, who’s working with special effects at the Gothenburg Opera House, desires and needs.
By the way, I’m very happy to have such a great opportunity to work this close to a possible customer!

FSCONS III
FSCONS – third day
It’s been a very inspiring weekend indeed!
Today, thanks to the lightning talk, some different peoples came up to me and asked about how and where I made my PCB’s, and about wireless applications for home automation and what transceiver to use.
I take that as a sign of success and a great pay off for my first public presentation, that by the way was a close to death experience but I would definitely do it again!
FSCONS II
FSCONS – second day
Today I did my lightning talk. It was one of the scariest things I ever done, but I think I did quite well!
I said some stuff twice but I managed to get the crowed to laugh and I think I got through to them –
That you can do anything you want if you are persistent enough!
FSCONS
FSCONS – first day
Today FSCONS (Free Society Conference Nordic Summit) started here in Gothenburg.
Maybe I’ll do a Lightning talk tomorrow on Saturday about the fireCrow platform
fireCrow v1.0
fireCrow v1.0 – Wireless tranciver
Overview
The fireCrow is an Arduino inspired microcontroller board based on the ATtiny4313 with a modified Arduino-Tiny core. The fireCrow runs at 3.3V and 9.216MHz, it has 12 digital input/output pins (of which 3 can be used as PWM outputs), a 2-pole DIP-switch to turn on battery power and (ARM) external power, a pin out socket with included power and serial TX/RX pins, and an ISP socket. It has connections for a Lithium Polymer battery. A XBee, or compatible Bee series, socket is also available on the board.

Här kommer en annan video som jag varit med och gjort pyro i.
Det var lite trial and error under den inspelningen, men nu vet jag vilket vattendjup som är bra och att man måste ha en Continue reading
