Boba Fett Chest Display Circuit
This animated circuit is programmed with animations from the Star Wars movies and Mandalorian TV show. Big thanks to the research done by Joshua Kane and the Dented Helmet forum.
Ammo Counter Mk3
The Ammo Counter MK3 is a remix of my previous ammo counter design and is now completely reprogrammable by you with no additional tools! There are 10 clip slots in memory, you can easily switch magazine sizes with a single button press. Each clip slot can be reprogrammed by you for any starting value. I partnered with Nathaniel Deal of AmmoCounter.com to sell these as the ultimate ammo counter solution.
Supernatural EMF Reader
Prop from the TV show Supernatural. Functioning meter needle, light animations, and tone sweep sound effects. This is a well researched duplicate of the prop used on set.
Energy Sword
Prop from the video game Halo. Featuring dynamic and reactive lighting, motion activated sound effects, and an internal rechargeable battery. I built my original energy sword design with the help of Sean Bradley in 2009. This work was expanded by Joshua Kane in 2013. I took Joshua's work to the next level with multiple animation modes with reactive and multi fade lighting. Credit for the sculpting and paint job still goes to Sean.

Mini NES
This is a functioning Mini NES clone based on a Raspberry Pi 3 and Retroarch. What makes this build unique is the NFC reader, which allows you to duplicate the look AND feel of the retro NES. The cartridge slot is functioning. Insert a game, click it down, and press the power to play that game!
Laser Tag NOMAD
Portable hand-held hosting of laser tag games. Compatible with Hasbro Laser Tag Team Ops line of Laser Taggers. This was a collaboration project with Robert Bontrager. The handheld device stores game types and transmits programming to the taggers. During gameplay, additional features are unlocked such as packet sniffing and medpack mode.

Reboot Ghostbusters Proton Pack
Prop from the film Ghostbusters 2016.
After the movie came out, I was dissapointed by the lack of open source designs for the Reboot Proton Pack. It took me about a week to make my own. If you would like to make one of these. All my plans, references, part lists, and source code are on Github and Google Drive.

Ammo Counter for Laser Tag
This was the final Ammo Counter I made for the Hasbro Laser Tag Augmented Reality tagger. This circuit was designed in collaboration with Ryan Bales. The display connects to the LTAR's headphone jack to receive game data. To be compatible with the game data from the tagger, the numerical display of previous versions was dropped for a percentage based bargraph display.
