    Borderlands 2 is Five Years Old Today

    Borderlands will always have a special place in my heart. The co-op with friends was SO much fun!! The D&D DLC was such a good time, and all of the characters I actually scrimped and saved and was able to get a flight to Pandora a few years back. Wandered the waste lands for a bit, had a...

    That video doesn't do it justice :) I think we need a better video camera if our cases are going to continue to have rapidly flashing colorful lights. It got a great reception at LANFest this weekend, Moxxi put on a great show. I was able to get the 13 RGB LEDs strung up to the arduino as...

    So we were looking to fill the top front of the case with something to cover the water-filing access port, since the donated case was missing the rubber cover. This is just a little matrix of RGB LEDs I made for messing around with, my kid gets to program shapes and animations and...

    So my work on the side panels is done for now; now it is Lisa's turn to work her magic on the case and truly make it a Moxxi case. These need to get the 'Borderlands treatment', these things are way too clean!!

    Tonight we also laid down the first layer of conductive paint on Songbird's beak. We then made a mixture of powdered graphite and three different acrylic paints. The graphite/paint mix should be a really lumpy mixture, you don't want it too thin or else it won't give you any...

    Tonight we nailed down the colors and animation for Songbird's eye. I've been playing with a lot of timings, colors, speeds, fading, up, down, etc. to get these LEDs to mimic the animation in game. The dome of the acrylic causes it to fill with light using the previous animation sequence, so I...

    Yeah me too! The mechanical bits will be clay, as well as around the eye, then all painted, can't wait to see it truly come to life! Thanks!

    So over the last two nights I've been able to get the acrylic lens mounted to the case using four rivets. I picked up some extra-long aluminum rivets because of the thickness of the acrylic. You can see the tiny little nubs sticking through. I soldered three wires from the top...

    We tried a few different thickness acrylic sheets to see the difference it makes when shining the LEDs through them. I got a really nice dome shape with 1/8 acrylic, but when it blinked, it seems to more fade than blink, so we had to scratch that. We got a nice dome shape in some 1/4" stuff...

    So I've started working on the touch interface for Songbird, and have been wracking my brain on how to best accomplish this. It has to look like its a metal fixture, but allow conductivity, and not tarnish. So a painted surface is out, and a bare metal surface is out, but what about some kind...

    Hi all, starting a new build that we will be donating as a prize at Intel LANFest Sacramento this October. Since we got such a good response from the last Borderlands case mod that we did, we decided to stick with that theme, but change it up a bit. The case is a Cooler Master Haf 932 that...

    Here's an updated pic, Lisa got some test paint on to mimick the eye in the game. It is coming along nicely! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56p_7Y7kGxE

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaxuT6NPu5U Here's a video of the 40% opaque white acrylic held over the RGB LED matrix. Here's the rough artwork for songbird on the side of the case, and the hole marked for the eye window. Yay, 78mm circle! Cut out a 78mm hole out of 1/2 inch ply...

    So I started on the mount for the arduino made from acrylic. I tapped 6-32 holes in it, and used nylon screws to hold it down. Test fit in the case, the assembly attaches with 2 screws from the inside of the case. Here's the assembly mounted. I still need to figure out how to make...
