Morgan The Smelter Droid


Say Hello to Morgan.  When you play the video, you will understand how he was named.
Morgan Does the following:
  • Speaks the time on the hour.
  • Speaks Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening on the half hour based on the time of day.
  • Says 30 random phrases when you walk by him.
  • He is aware of the date and time so he will wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter etc.
  • I enlarged his recharge coupling to house most of the electronics.  On his recharge coupling there is a small 1-inch OLED display to allow for displaying the time and other menus that are displayed when specific switches are selected.
  • He has switches for selecting ‘Set Minute’, ‘Set Hour’, ‘Disable Motion’, Disable Night Audio’, ‘Demo Mode’ and an ‘Increment/Decrement’ for changing the time when the desired menu is displayed.  Note: The ‘Disable Motion’ switch and ‘Disable Night Audio’ was is a must if you want to stay married.  
  • He has eyes that are W2812B leds that blink at a random interval.  I changed them to green so they would show up on camera.  When they were yellow it looked odd on an iPhone camera.
  • His chest area uses W2812B leds to backlight the chest cavity.
  • His mouth uses W2812B leds to emulate talking.
  • I made a decal sheet for his graphics and I printed them on waterslide decal paper.  I will attach the decals on a subsequent post with some pictures.

The in the pdf below includes stickers I created for the Droid Division Smelter droid.  I printed these using a color laser printer and printed them on waterslide decal paper.  You can get the paper on Amazon.  Here is a typical link https://www.amazon.com/Sunnyscopa-Urethane-Transfer-Transparent-sheets/dp/B076VFHV1F

Once you print the decals, use a razor blade knife to carefully cutout the decal inside areas as required.  I use scissors to cut the outer part of the decals.

Once the decal is applied, I spray 4-5 light coats of clear acrylic.  After the fifth coat, you spray heavier coats.  If you use a non-acrylic spray, the decal will bubble and possibly disintegrate.  I have used non-acrylic but it is a slow process that requires tons of light mist coats.  I would not recommend it.

If you want to create additional items using Word (WordArt is how I created the letters), the color I use has an RGB value of 193 0 0
