Big Sproinking Flash light
Been a while since I uploaded something, been busy with work and recuperating.
This project stemmed from my digging around my desk when taking a break from Skyrim (it is very addictive). I found a high amperage switch that I had originally used way back when I had my Honda Civic, on which I had mounted some fog lights.
I had removed them before junking that reliable beast; I could not kill the thing even with driving it as if it were a dune buggy. I realized that I still had one of the lights as well, the other having had its lens shattered by gravity+concrete. I went digging for it and came across a wooden case I had acquired a long time back from a nice old man at my moms church. I decided to re-purpose it again, its last purpose for me being a simplistic multi-rocket launch controller. The power source for the light is a basic UPS battery that I had bought for a UPS I found, whose battery had died, and the new battery subsequently fried the aged UPS, letting the magic smoke out. Its really a basic wire job, the second circuit diagram any one learns (light with switch). Next step with it would be to add a 12v outlet for automobiles, and then after that a charge gauge and recharge circuit. Here is the rest of the photos of it so far.
More arduinoing coming, as soon as I figure out some more advanced trig.
