Gundam Artifact II - GM Thunderbolt Ver.

Gundam Thunderbolt 雷霆宙域戰線

38xLED植入，市售最小型的0201 package LED用量今次是歷來最多；除了光與聲效之外，同時亦加入了可動元素，以遙控控制，企圖用兩個Servo來控制x,y軸動作模擬太空飄浮及飛行效果；雖然已經盡力，不過出來仍似70年代特攝🤣

運行光效早在紅彗星及高達頭製作已用過，當計算適當就能控制多組LED開關。

不過另一大挑戰卻是漏光問題。

小統計

• 頭部 :4 x 0201 White LED, 1 x WS2812 LED
• 身軀 :26 x 0201 White LED, 1 x 0603 White LED, 4 x 0402 White LED
• 武器 :2 x 0201 White LED
• 其他 :2 x Servo, 1 x 4017 Digital Counter IC

38xLEDs installed, the smallest commercially available 0201 package LED usage is the largest compare to my past work; in addition to light and sound effects, movable elements add also with control by remote controller, which is trying to use two servos to control x, y axis motion to simulation Floating in Space and flying effects; although I have tried my best, it still looks like a SFX in 70s🤣

The running light effect has already been used in my previous work of Red Comet and Gundam Head, which can control multiple sets of LED switches when calculated properly.

Another big challenge, however, is light leakage.

Statistical Information

• Head Unit : 4 x 0201 White LED, 1 x WS2812 LED
• Body : 26 x 0201 White LED, 1 x 0603 White LED, 4 x 0402 White LED
• Weapon : 2 x 0201 White LED
• Other: 2 x Servo, 1 x 4017 Digital Counter IC

Build Process

活動

用兩Servo推動 x, y axis 連接幼繩索，達至疑似活動效果

LED - 整體LED安裝的位置 (Location of overall LED installation)

頭部 - 可改造體積小是一項挑戰，當中塞進了前往兩棵另加兩棵為火神炮，眼睛參考原設計，感覺前身是Baymax (The small size is a challenge to install those LEDs, whereas 2 x LEDs are used for Vulcan cannons. The eyes is reference from original design, which feels like Baymax.)

手部 - 根據設定兩肩膀三面都有噴射口，設計功用似乎是姿勢調節；另外槍口亦開孔落LED (According to the mech. design, there are 3 x jets on both shoulders, which the design function seems to be posture adjustment; in addition, the muzzle also has holes for LEDs install)

腳部 - 同樣雙腳都都充滿噴射口，共加了18棵LED (Both feet are also filled with jets, and a total of 18 LEDs are added)

伸延連接 - 用以將原有地台伸延控制外掛較大型的裝置。安裝兩個Servo，用來控制x,y軸動作。通用地台製作請參考前作Zaku III的介紹。(It is used to extend the original platform to control external devices. Two Servos are installed to control movement of x and y axis. For the creation of the general purpose platform , please refer to the introduction of my previous work Zaku III here.)
