A cardboard model of the X-Wing from Star Wars, including integrated embedded system components and 3D-printed parts. this project demonstrates embedded programming, embedded model design, and CAD modeling with Fusion 360.
Status: In Progress
This project includes:
- Designing and fabricating custom 3D-printed hinges in Fusion 360 for motorized wing movemet
- Prototyping and testing embedded circuitry on breadboard for power delivery and interfacing
- Programming ESP32 and Arduino microcontrollers to control motors, sensors, and an OLED display
- Current:
- 4 custom hinges designed and printed in Fusion 360
- Breadboard circuits tested for motor power delivery
- Structural integration with motors for automated wing actuation
- Planned:
- Makeshift targeting system with distance sensor and OLED display
- Wheels and stepper motors for movement
- Controller with displays, steering control stick, buttons for various effects, etc.
- Hardware: ESP32, Arduino, embedded components (motors, sensors, OLED display), 3D-printed hinges
- Software: Fusion 360, Arduino IDE, C++
- Other: Breadboard prototyping
- Strengthened cardboard frame with 3D-printed hinges and mounted motors
- Enabled automated wing movement
- Created modular design ready for integration of sensors and interactive features
