Hey guys. There was another thread about this, but I did not start it. The original poster has not been back for some time, so I am going to start a new one. Tonight I worked on my arduino pack light solution for a few hours. I fixed the waveshield (chip needed resoldered) and it works great now. I have gotten the cyclotron and powercell going. The speed of each is adjustable via a potentiometer(each one has its own). The pack startup sound is there as well as the hum, but unfortunately you cannot hear it in the video that I have shot. Next time I will make it a point to capture that. So without further ado here is the video.

For those of you that were not following the other topic, an arduino is a small and cheap embedded computer. This entire thing has cost me next to nothing so far. The final product should come in at around $100-$120. All of this will be freely available on the internet once it is complete. I will make the board layouts so that you can etch the board yourself, but a simple point to point should also do the job.
Things are heating up here now, so stay tuned

~5 minute demo that shows the project status so far. This one has really low volume for the pack sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbZx_yoDIA
45 second demo with louder sounds

Demo that shows the graph working, correct powercell functionality, and daughterboard working.

in depth video of the inner working with a new feature

here is another new video. all of them inside of the pack and wand this time.
