Is there any possible way to negate the randomness of the wires re: diffusing?
I want to use this as a prop, but without any sort of reliability, it could waste a lot of shooting time…
I imagine that I coudl hack it to get that effect… but I have 0 experience programming hardware, and I don’t want to dive in unless I know it’s possible, or that there isn’t an easier way…
Thanks!
The behavior can be easily changed with reprogramming. If you have an FTDI USB to serial cable or adapter, it’s fairly easy. I could make the code changes for you.
OR, if you are willing to pay a nominal fee (say, $7 if you are in the US) I can ship you a reprogrammed ATmega328 chip with no randomness. If you are overseas, I’d need to charge more for shipping.
Sadly, the prop plays in a couple of days…
HOWEVER!
You have encouraged me to have a go at it, so we’ll see what happens.
Seems to be a skill I should delve into anyway…
Great product!
Without adding a TV B Gone, is there a way to add code to send SONY remote codes? I know how to modify and flash the original code. I’m looking for some fingers to point me in the right direction… I know where to find the TV B Gone code, but I don’t want to muck up the entire project.@Michael wrote:

Hey, I know this may be a dead end but if code change to specify a wire for det and one for disarm is easy enough, could you post it or message it out. I’m still learning the programming aspects of this stuff.

Is this still an option? I would like to have a fixed disarm wire if possible. Is it code I can just drop in or will it require a major overhaul?
Thanks
setting the wires to be fixed instead of random is simple. Just change the assignment in the function countdown().
For example, if you want the defuse wire to be wire 2:
defuseWire = WIRE_2;
Michael,
You state that the wires can be fixed…”just change the assignment in the function countdown().
Then you show DefuseWire=Wire_2;However when searching for “DefuseWire” in the program it can’t be found. Please clarify or let me know what to change in the following function:
void countdown() {
int ledCounter = 0;
int ledCounterThreshold = 100000;
byte ledCurrentState = HIGH;
byte defusePin;
byte detPin;
boolean defused = false;
countdownRunning = true;
int fractionalSecond;// assign random pins
defusePin = random(WIRE_1, (WIRE_4+1));
detPin = defusePin;
while (detPin == defusePin) {
detPin = random(WIRE_1, (WIRE_4+1));
}
