UPS table mount. Power ON Some progress… At first, kit for rust imitation: And then UPS table mount. Accumulators and UPS printed circuit board installed, wiring completed and power on: USB monitoring working too: Part of printed circuit board with RJ-45 protection was deleted (lack of inner space) Next time UPS table mount final assembly!
3D model Both turret and UPS-mount 3D model: Colors show work progress: Green – all ready Yellow – in process Red – even not start yet
Paining, again A lot of fresh painted parts photo. Assortment ): Shield, right: Shield, left: Video card housing parts: MB ports cover parts: A “lighter” (turret visual sensor system to detect intruders in its sight line): Its holder: Turret back holder: Arm swivel holder (joint UPS-mount and turret): “Power ON” indicator (door eye detected The one, on the place:
Turret’s gun Well, its time to make turret’s gun. Barrel – aluminum body from pocket flash, flame arrester –permanent marker cap, threading parts - indicator light, PVC tube – light diffuser (filled with silicon):
It's alive! Finally, ready to test assembly. Doesn’t looks like a turret, but operable ) Testing area: Front part of video card housing – target aimer with machinegun barrel. Red light – power indicator, blue light – hard disk activity indicator. The one, in the dark: PCI-e x16 riser used, 100mm length. Temporarily, turbine from video card housing now cooling CPU radiator (CPU cooler in the housing alongside): Support for video card rear side: URL=http://www.radikal.ru][/URL] Have to replace one 3’5” bay with two 2’5” Hardware monitoring screen (open case):
Video card output box HDMI and DVI video outputs, 2xUSB 2.0, Front Audio connectors, AC power 220V connector, Power and Reset buttons. A lot of parts for assembly: Assembly in process: All ready:
Visual sensor system A visual sensor system (turret from HL2): Rear parts painted: Rear parts assembled: Originally, this part has to detect intruders in its sight line. I used a domestic proximity IR sensor and controller with RGB-led. RGB-led status (depending of the systems state): • continuous green – no intrusion detected (no target) • flashing red – intrusion possibility detected (searching target) • continuous red – intrusion detected (target identified) Generally, visual sensor system looks like outdoor camera with IR-backlight: Assembled and mounted:
My god man!!! Attention to detail is off the charts INSANE on this build!!! So much win!! I'm starting to think you're going to make this into a real weapon!!!
