Working Pokémon Poké Ball

thingiverse

This is a remix of the 'Pokeball (with button-release lid)' by Intentional3D, so credit to them for the model. This is based on the 80% scale version to make it more life-size, I modified the front button section to incorporate a switch, removed the exposed hinges and added a bunch of electronics to add some special effects. These include the following: Front button to activate the Pokeball Front red LED Rumble motor to simulate the Pokeball vibrating as the Pokemon try to 'break-out' Superbright internal LED to simulate catching Pokemon Opening lid, with the potential to be automated via the use of the servo Everything is controlled by a PICAXE microcontroller and it is powered by 3x 1.5v N batteries.
