Working desktop Stargate and DHD!

3 years ago

Kristian's Stargate project:

• The Stargate ring spins and places the dialed symbol on the correct chevron as the traveler is inputting the address by using the DHD.

• All 7 chevrons move and light up when engaged.

• The Stargate can dial any Milky Way address used in the show.

• When a correct address is input using the DHD, the wormhole is established.

• The wormhole effect consists of a animated infinity mirror of 122 LEDs.

• As in the show the wormhole can stay open for 38 minutes. When the time limit is reached, a random quote from the show where the time limit is mentioned is played and the wormhole disengages.

The DHD is a 39-key USB keyboard matrix on a custom PCB.

         There is perhaps someone better to ask.
