![]() ![]() Once dry, insert one light per pipe so that the wire is running through the pipe and the light is just at the opposite end. Paint them silver (metallic paint is even better). Solder about 15 feet of wire to the right LED's connectors.Ĭut the PCV into two sections, about a foot long. Solder the opposite ends of the wire to the other LED. Solder one wire (about 6 feet in length) to each connector of one LED. The LEDs are wired to a circuit board that turn on and off quickly to simulate the guns being fired.įor this step, you will need the following:īe sure to keep track of the positive side of the LEDs when wiring this up. The machine guns are ultra-bright LEDs housed in PCV piping. The forward-facing machine guns are meant to clear enemy gadgets out of the way. Various devices that can be controlled by 110v circuits To get these gadgets to work, I pulled these components together (more details in the following steps):ġ laptop in the car that controlled the gadgetsġ laptop that displayed a simulation of the chase (with music and sound effects)ġ Phidgets circuit board for controlling a 5v circuit for LEDsĢ Phidgets circuit boards for controlling 110v circuits (4 circuits a piece) I toyed with the idea about using a servo to have a license plate that flipped over (ala Goldfinger), but the servo stopped working on me the night before, so I scrapped the idea. Real honking car horn (signals the start and end of the simulation) Once I thought of the theme, I started thinking about the gadgets that I could put in the car and how I would pull it off. Who hasn't wanted a car that would shoot missiles when someone is in your way? I came up with the idea of having a simulated car chase through the streets of Paris, as if James Bond was being pursued by enemy agents and he needed to rely on the gadgets that Q blessed his car with. This Instructable will instruct in 5 seconds. If you like this Instructable, or at least the effort my son and I put into it, be sure to rate it or drop a comment. Spy School: Test Your Powers of Observation I've divided this year's Instructable into these following categories, with the car getting the most focus: Last year, we took third place in the Gadgets and Gizmos category for the Recoiling Cannons of our Pirate-Themed display. We won second place in the Halloween contest Video category in 2008 for our Mutex Lab Tour. The goals are simple: the theme should be interactive for the kids, interesting, and give us an opportunity to work with new technologies. I also include some instruction on the interactive overall theme (Spy School) that we had this year.Įvery year, my son and I do a grounds-up build of a new Halloween display. Here are the instructions needed to convert a Mazda 6 (my Aston Martin is in the shop) into a James Bond spy car.
