Arduino Rising Phoenix Electronics

Open-source electronics project for the Rising Phoenix jetpack worn by Din Djarin in 'The Mandalorian'.

Includes LEDs with flame effect, sound effects, and smoke that is all controlled by a wireless remote.

Parts list

In addition to the 3d printed parts available in the files section, you will need the following:

1. Arduino Nano - controller for this project.
2. Rising Phoenix board (or blank prototyping PCBs and connectors).
3. DFPlayer Mini - get an authentic one made by DFRobot. The knock-offs didn't work in my experience.
4. Micro SD card - any size should do.
5. 1k ohm resistor - for the DFPlayer's RX pin. (This is included with the Rising Phoenix board.)
6. 12v mini amplifier - to increase the output of the DFPlayer Mini.
7. (2) 25mm exciters - these stick to the inside of the pack to create the sound.
8. (2) 16 bit Neopixel LED rings - to place inside the thrusters for the flame effect. Other brands with WS2812B or SK6812-based LEDs should also work, but you may need to change one line in the Arduino .ino file
9. (4) 5v relay modules - to activate the various components.
10. (2) 5v 5015 blower fans - used to increase airflow of smoke.
11. (2) 12v mini air pumps - used to push air through the vaporizers.
12. (2) ecig vaporizers/atomizers - the Kanger T2 design seems works best and what this project was designed for but they are getting hard to find. Optional (2) 510 threaded connectors - Makes connecting the negative wire to the atomizor much easier
13. (2) 18650 batteries - need a high current output. These power the vaporizers.
14. Talentcell 3000 mAh rechargable battery pack - provides both 5v and 12v power to everything except the vaporizers. Will not automatically power off like most USB battery packs.
15. Wiress RF remote - to activate the jetpack.
16. Silicone Tubing 4mm ID X 6mm OD
17. Silicone Tubing 8mm ID x 11mm OD
18. 24-22 AWG hookup wire
19. Ferrule Connectors - Optional
20. Wago lever nuts - Optional - for some of the 12v wire connections
