Introduction: Darth Vader - Papercraft Toy
In this project I create papercraft model of the Darth Vader that blinking red eyes and singing a song.
Step 1: Papercraft
At first you need to download, print, cut and glue a paper-model. I chose a Dath Vader model: http://www.cubeecraft.com/cubee/darth-vader
Step 2: Electronics
At this step we need some electronics:
- 2x red leds;
- 2x 330 Ohm resistors;
- 2x 1uF capacitors;
- 1x L7805 voltage regulator;
- 1x power supply (12v in my case);
- 1x Arduino board (DigiSpark);
- 1x speaker;
- 1x breadboard (you can buy it hear);
- 5x wires.
You need to create a PCB, as well as I (see images).
Finaly you need to flash a firmware (imperial.ino). If you prefer GitHub, go to this link.

Step 3: Final
At the last step you need to add 2 leds from previous step to your model (I use 2 long wiers to do this). I fixed it by hot glue.
Now our Darth Vader model is made! Turn your power on and enjoy Imperial March :)

This is a neat idea :) If you would like to break down the steps into written instructions and add some progress/step photos so that others can replicate your projects then it will receive more attention from the community and be possible to be featured on the site. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-Fe...

Thanks for you comment! Today I was added some new materials (schematics, firmware, photos, bill of materials etc). And what you think: is it a good instruction or not (at this point)?
