Scratch Build – In Progress C&C tiberium wars Advanced flame tank

.....wow.....

 

Me too!!! Just not Linux

Your PSU is looking good. Hod does it compare to the PS3 PSU?

 

Sadly I didn't try it out yet.

Currently I am soldering the motor PCB's

 

Thats some neat soldering

 

Thanks,

Now I am soldering and testing my motor PCB's
Hope to show you the pictures soon!

 

Today I also started on the motor PCB's.
These PCB's can drive DC motors and have various feedback methods (motor power usage, step pulses, analog feedback (for servo functionality))

Using the flux pen to add some flux to the PCB, this allows for easy soldering of the small components.


After that I apply some solder to the pins of the chip (I don't have solder paste)


With the programmer I check for any mistakes.
The connector I am using to program this PCB is a piece of an PCI connector salvaged from an old mother board.


This is a close-up, not all components are attached yet.
I only continue when all is checked for errors.


Now the PCB is finisched, no problems have been found, I placed a 20 eurocent coin next to the PCB so you can compare its size.


This is how It will get attached to the motor, the PCB is then controlled using I2c.


And the front of the track, you can see the pcb is well protected on its current position.

 

So many insane things in this.

Did you ever finish it?

 

I was thinking the same thing
I hope you find some more time for it

ITS AWSOME

 

Time is usually the issue.
I am still working on it, the work goes on slowly as I am machining various small parts for the tracks now.
It is hard to photograph all the things I have done, that is why the updates are taking a while currently
Also I have been doing a lot of software for the tank.

 

this is gona be awesome
so
when are going to make the life size version

 

Dear God, that circuitry looks horrible to solder. Amazing work!

 

Ok, another person that's doing aluminum casting? Subscribed. I have tool envy. Your shop is amazing. I would kill for half of your tools and that CNC.

Have you tried lost foam casting? It saves you a bit of time and gas over doing a 2 part impression mold.

 

Hope to see this completed some day, just thought about this & had to look it up again, as far as I'm concerned I think you are Yoda or even his masters Master .

 

live action flamethrower tank??? with ps3 inside??? with cast parts??? definitely follow this!!!
excellent metalwork, awesome soldering and brilliant flamethrower!!!
*subbed*

 

Love this build! What has happened to that 20c coin?
