Well, it'll be a while before I get the bottle to face either my NX or my Refit, but hopefully I will carry on with my Voyager soon (started cutting out the windows.) |

I've been playing around with the Arduino programming software again and come up with a lighting scheme for the Revell/Mobius BSG Viper MkII and would like to get some feedback. The video shows the lights running from a 9V battery and is very much in development status on a breadboard. ![]() The scheme has 3 sets of engine lights,each having one constant blue LED and 1 flickering Blue LED. There are also 2 constant white LEDs for the cockpit, 1 general light and 1 for the backlighting of panels. The other 3 LEDs are flashers that will go to the wing tip lights and cockpit lamps via fibre optics. The whole system is run from an Attiny85 8 pin microprocessor and a voltage regulator. On the final edition these will be on a small circuit board which will mount inside the Viper and then 2 wire out to the DC power supply. Sorry for the quality of the video. Comments welcome. Cheers, Warren |

Warren the lights work well in the order you say, my only concern would be is there space to fit it all? |

Mark, The vipers have quite a lot room inside and I'm using 3mm LEDs so should be okay. Cheers, Warren |

Still got a few things to sort out on it but should be about £20. Will be fully wired and include mounts for engine LEDs. Cheers, Warren |

After the Viper lighting kit I've started work on one for the Star Trek Klingon D7 from Revell. Again using Arduino programming but this time with a larger Attiny2313 MC. Video of the LEDs running off the Arduino. ![]() The 4 green LEDs on the outside are the Warp Drives, the 2 red LEDs that flash every 2.5 seconds are the strobes, the red light on its own is the Torpedo, the 2 white LEDs are for the cabin lights and the red and orange LEDs are the impulse drives. I have shortened the time sequence so it runs through a bit quicker than the final assembly. Finally apologies for the Coronation Street sound track, didn't realise I was recording sound as well!! Cheers, Warren |
