This is military kind of engineering. Amazing. This suit is going to be off the hook.
Thanks Manny!
@@kerseyfabs hello do you know the lattepanda alpha for your central computer. It's way salles than yours but i think its powerfull enough
The problem I saw the the LattePandas is they don't appear to have camera inputs!
🎉
youre so underrated man, keep up the good work and the grind
I appreciate it! Thanks, will do!
Kris, very interesting to see the design process and your implementations. I don't know how you juggle so many things at once, a day job, family and multiple projects. You are a master juggler!
Thanks David! Oh that reminds me, I should really learn to do some actual juggling! 😂
Get the repulsors from operation theatre 🎭..... Then see people flying messing with you 🤣🤣
Working repulsors is definitely on the list!
Very cool. Will be interesting to see how having a bunch of wifi boards on your suit then handles being in a convention space, where I assume the RF interference is going to be pretty high. I suppose the end game (hurr hurr) would have a full suit and so you could be running wires then anyway, but still be cool to see how reliable it is.
The plan for me is to keep it all wireless. I've seen other cosplayers deal with the wires and it looks like a nightmare. I think the proximity of the pieces should keep WiFi really reliable. Ultimately they will be connecting directly to an access point on the central computer.
You can find more details about this project including the 3D models and source code over on PCBWay's community site: www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Prototype_Iron_Man_Repulsors_42bb6cdc.html
If all of the details aren't up yet, they're coming! I'm still finalizing the source code for sharing.
BTW, if you didn't stay all the way until the end of the video, go check it out! It's actually a teaser for what's coming up!
You should collab with Hacksmith industries. This suit is going places.
Thank you! I hope I can make it up to Canada and we can talk shop!
Kris do you have a screen firmware to go with your firmware for the Ender 5 Plus for the stock board?
Not currently. I need to figure out which ones go together but I haven't had time.
duuuuuuuuuude.. these are amazing!!!! really digging how you used the accelerometers!!!
Glad you like them! Mutual love for your suit and IG feed!
This is one of those things that slowly gets upgraded without even noticing at the end a couple of thousands in you have a full iron man costume that kinda works😂 looks great
That's the plan!
@@kerseyfabs going to be crazy 🔥
so I guess all that's left is doing the rest of the Iron man suit since the helmet, arc reactor and repulsors are covered that is.
Not at all! Big plans! Keep watching!
It's great to see a fellow wireless build, and your presentation is outstanding as always! Out of curiosity, did you consider other wireless protocols like Bluetooth/BLE or low frequency radio?
I really appreciate all of that and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I did consider both RF and Bluetooth. I didn't consider RF very long due to it being dependant on special hardware or custom protocols. I don't like the pain of Bluetooth pairing, especially sometimes with custom embedded work.
With WiFi, it automatically connects with the WiFi credentials and I have a reliable connection that nicely connects to MQTT. Also, so many things have WiFi, so I've left a lot of options open. Some of them... you'll see in a few months.
Love this!!! Have so got to build myself a set of Repulsors
Go for it!
How awesome!!! This video deserves much much more views!
Thank you!
wouldn't it be a thing to put the flex sens in the wrist, like when you bend the wrist up as you were to fire the repulsor like in the movies. that would have been a better solution on the mk3 then bending it with the finger.
It's not a bad idea at all. The only issue is how it work when putting on the suit. There's usually no armor or even a seal around the wrist.
@@kerseyfabs that's a fair point, didn't think about that. i assumed it might be put in something like a frame. such as the prototype repulsors from the first iron man movie.
Any plans for a Gundam in the future? Haha
That sounds like a great plan! Adding it to the list!
This is amazing. Do you have a background in electrical engineering? Or are you self taught if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you! My background is in embedded software. That means I have professional experience with low-level computer hardware development. I'm still self-taught or have gained work experience on a lot of this.
@@kerseyfabs very impressive stuff. Thank you for answering :)
No problem! Thanks for the question!
Hey man, love the videos! I'm finishing up my full size Mk 85 armor... Just getting into the final paint. Anyway, I was wondering if you'd be willing to sell a personal-use-only copy of the code you made for the HUD?
I appreciate it! Mark 50 and 85 will be the hardest to fit this in due to the tighter helmets. As for the tech/code, I'm working on an official release and hopefully by then it will be easier to find a main board.
SRB
I did come back with ... yeah / ...the last one /had three laser / aimed at a doom / back through a lens/
4:13 Very Nice!
8:02 That is tiiiiiny!
Thanks! 👍
Very similar repulsor. Too bad it doesn't shoot.
I'll get there once I've worked out the science. 😎
@@kerseyfabs I think that the most difficult thing will be for the iron man to fly. But such a problem can also be solved. You need to think of something so that powerful miniturbines open on his back, thanks to which he quickly took off, and some fire turbines of low power should also be installed on his arms and legs to release a fiery stream, like in the movie when Tony Stark flew. Then it would be very similar.
I would just be concerned on the limited use of that battery not being charged amd sitting for it swelling up
Hi kersy I have a question I installed a micro swiss direct drive on my ender 5 plus and the stepper motors progressively got louder please help 😢
Stock main board?
No silent
@@kerseyfabs it is silent
@@hestonalmendinger1971 You'll want to turn down the current to your extruder. If you check out the silent board video, you can see how I did that. I'd do 0.1 increments until I was happy.
Damn bro you're awesome,everything you do is actually story accurate!
That's the plan! I really enjoy making these things a reality!
Interesting to see you using a gyro sensor for the effect activation! It probably s better off since you are just doing the hand units. Otherwise, I thought you could use the flex sensor on your wrist if you are building the whole gauntlet, it'd allow activation when the palm is down too (to emulate flight positions). But in any case, cool effects with audio syncing!
Thanks! I like the sensor because it really offers an unlimited number of options in terms of using hand gestures. In the future, I may move to a sensor specifically designed for gesturing.
Nice!! (Excited for pt. 3!)
Thanks! I have a part 2b coming first. 😁
@@kerseyfabs 👍🏻
I really love your work e.g programming, coding e.t.c
Thank you! I'm enjoying making this kind of content!
I'm looking forward to be like you one day.
@@InventorKM2007-pl1vs 🙏 I'm honored and I'd love to see what you build!
l will try my best.
This is ligit lit🖐
I appreciate it!
This is awesome
Thank you!
You are Great.
Thank you!
Amazing
Thanks!
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Incredible progress, Kris! Dang, that V3 is so SWEET!!! You know, in the things that I build, when I want to limit functionality to a certain position, I simply might use a type of tilt switch whether it be gyro/electronic, mercury, ball, etc. It's often the simple solution that fits the application. That might work for this application. 🤔
Doggone it... I was commenting as I was watching. I submitted that comment just before you mentioned this exact thing...😂🤣
...always wait until the end to comment! 🤦♂️😅
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad we ended up with a similar ideas. The ability to do gesturing with this sensor is a big plus!
your ironman helmet is way too big , i can imagine when u wear it with costume , your head look bigger than your body,can u tune it to look more aesthetic
It is a little big but probably not as big as you think given that the armor would be quite bulky. I'm working to make the second version even smaller.
Hey buddy!. Epic progress! I got an awesome idea in mind but no way to make it happen. I'd love to share it with you...
I'd love to hear about it. You can post it here or contact me on pretty much any social media.
@@kerseyfabs this is the only social media I use, but I'll figure something out to contact you. I don't want to blab this out in the open, because it is a really kick-ass idea! Appreciate your time, your videos & especially the fact you take the time to interact with your viewers! 😇
@@Administrator_O-5 That's where all the fun is at! Feel free to send me an email kris @ kerseyfabrications.com
@@kerseyfabs sent you an email with attached image files & an MP4. I put "SCP0001 from UA-cam" as the subject line. Thanks again for your time & willingness to hear my idea. 😇
Anytime! I'll get back to you soon!
This is amazing, definitely gotta keep that flex switch in mind. I used a simple reed switch for my repusors when I did my suit.
Yeah, there are a lot of great options these days!
@@kerseyfabs yeah definitely alot things now, can’t wait to start my next Ironman build one of these days!
All the best on your next build!
The development of the culmination of your helmet is very interesting to me. I couldn’t care much less about the iron man cosplay. But the idea of a Kevlar ballistic helmet that wraps the whole head and uses multiple cameras and screens to the user to see, sounds like some real world somewhat practical advanced armor. Just needs to be made and developed and refined. Then you’d have some real armor.
Thanks! I completely agree about the real-world applications of all that I'm developing and I consider it seriously. While the backdrop of what I'm doing is Iron Man, there's real tech here. The Iron Man universe is used for fun and, as history has shown us, science fiction is a great guide for the future of technology. I use it as a vision of what comes next.
@@kerseyfabs I’d just love to see you continue to develop it, integrate it into a real armor product and market it. You may not be interested in that but I like seeing people in the arms field (armor is counted) make things from their ideas that are actually useful and helpful and successfully bring them to market.
Heck I’d be all over this if I had the income time and know how to program and combine parts like you do. Regardless of how far you take it or if you ever make a real world application, I wish you success sir.
@@kerseyfabs I could see that something like that might one day be used by our service members. Especially with the improvements in digital night vision and thermal /IR are becoming more affordable capable and some companies are starting to try to fuse both IR/thermal with low light amplification with digital overlays like compass’s and such.
All I can say right now is that at some point in the future I may pursue this. Right now I'm happy with what I'm doing and I need to continue on this path. We'll see where this road leads.
gets better and better nice job i dont see the other have this on there suit so its gonna be great when its fully done but a hell of a work omg
Thanks! Yeah, once I release the code and everything, I hope this helps a lot of other customers out with their projects.
@@kerseyfabs oh for sure it will help allot not everybody is good in everything but we all are smart in his own way and if we share that knowledge for sure it helps allot. And i think you save them allot of time and headache So they should be thankfull🤣
For the switch you can reprint with an incurve (like inside a ball) so you can get your finger in (or fingernail) to turn it on and off
I may do that at some point but this protects the board and prevents accidental switching. 😁

Yep! Spread the word! 😀
...Also want to say that I absolutely love the format of this video. And, thank you so much for being so generous and gracious with all of your intellectual material, ideas, designs, Etc... You are truly a Class Act, Kris...much respect...thank you!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying these. The next video will be a direct follow-up to this one.
