AlmightyArjen Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Hey folks, I’ve uploaded a new video about a fully automated 10128 level crossing! It comes completely with switching lights in the control room. This is also my first stop motion video, not perfect but it came out pretty nice. Have a look! http://youtu.be/M_pFPKx6WKE Quote
marook Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 That is a cool video - and nice crossing! To be fair, the speed of them closing/opening is a bit fast, but otherwise the sensors would need to be further away.. ;-) I guess the lights are mostly custom LED's - right? Quote
engineermax Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 It could be geared down but otherwise nice video. Well done. Quote

To be fair, the speed of them closing/opening is a bit fast, but otherwise the sensors would need to be further away.. ;-) I guess the lights are mostly custom LED's - right? Yes, the barriers are pretty fast on purpose. Just like you mentioned, when closing slower, you need to put the sensor further away (2 meters or so at least), which is not always practical. And yes, I've used ordinary white LEDs. 3mm for the barriers, the rest is 5mm. It could be geared down but otherwise nice video. Well done. Thanks for the tip, I'll take it in account for future projects. Quote
JopieK Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 You could make your delays in the loop just a little longer ;) this one will terminate the heads of your minifigs as well! Quote
Hobbythom Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Great video and a pretty good Arnie imitation to boot! I loved the first 'I'll be back' joke with the train crossing. Quote
jaesroe Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Very good!! and funny as well.. it is also interesting to see that such an automated level crossing is also possible with 9v~ Quote
dr_spock Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Good video. Was that your voice? You could try worm gear to slow it down and/or PWM the M-motors. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 To be fair, the speed of them closing/opening is a bit fast, but otherwise the sensors would need to be further away.. ;-) I agree, but that is very minor. Other than that, its a an awesome video and the the dialogue was very funny. Great work around man. :thumbup: Quote
AlmightyArjen Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks for the nice replies! And no it's unfortunately not my own voice (think of the possibilities! :D ) but that from a voice actor. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Cool video. I like all the movie references and the voice acting. Quote
Doom2099 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Really fun video! Great way to show off a great system you've got. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 It's always a pleasure to see your hi-tech & funny videos! :wub: Great work! Quote
sens1992 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Amazing work here! Cool to see it in the dark! I need a crossing like that for my Lego city! Quote
