Yeah, basically. I’m busy soldering everything onto a PC board to install into my pke meter. ChapterMasterTu’Shan is working on making a schematic of it.
We are also looking into making it into a more plug and play kit for others. No guarantees yet though.
I don’t know if this will help you or if you’ve got something better going, but I remember seeing this website in the “make your own proton pack lights” thread a WHILE back:
It’s a program to design PC boards, and then they make them for you. For an electronics novice such as myself, it seems like a good setup. But like I said, you guys probably have something better. Just thought I’d throw this out there in case it was useful. 
I’m designing the PCBs in Eagle at the moment. I can make single sided boards, no problem, so we’re trying to get away with that.
Just a little update, I’m working on wiring up the wings and painting them, then I’ll pretty much be done.
Here’s a short video of the pke meter without the wings or one side of the shell installed. You can see how the screen looks so far atleast and that the speed control works.
mburkit, one for you: :crunch:
ChapterMasterTu’Shan, one for you: :crunch:

Anyone I’m forgetting?
Finally FINISHED!

I’ll be posting a parts list and the code for it soon. TJ is still working on the schematics and we plan (at some point) to sell boards for this that will be more plug and play then the hell that I went through to make this.
That is a thing of beauty!
THAT is sweet!
I have two iona shells here that will get that treatment.. what was the total cost of the electronic parts?
Me wants!!!
Seriously. I can’t wait for the parts list and schematic!
Awesome work!! If you guys decide to sell the boards, I’m definitely interested.
Okay kids, here’s a parts list and the program for the arduino. Now granted you won’t be able to do much with it yet without the schematics but those are still in the works. I figured I’d post this stuff so you had an idea of how much it cost. I’d also advice you not to go buying all this stuff until you see the schematics. I don’t want anyone to buy all this stuff then get frustrated from the schematics and give up, wasting $100+ on electronic components.
So, first the total in parts (w/o shipping) comes to: $108.56
Attachments removed by Author. To be reposted at a later date.
Once there’s a schematic, I’ll repost all this stuff in a Tutorial thread.
Well done! Now I’m just trying to decide if I could figure this out or if I should wait for any potential board you guys make. Decisions decisions…
I found these links for the servo $3 cheaper:

I know most people will come into this thread because of the electronics but in case anyone wanted to hang their pke meter off their belt like they do in the game. . .
(sorry for the crappy picture)
might I suggest a covertec clip:
This is what they used in the Star Wars Prequels to hold the lightsabers onto their belts, among other things. This is what I’m going to end up using.
That looks good… we wear out traps on the right hip though.. the gizmo is on the left… I’m running out of belt space! I guess I need to add more pounds and a larger belt now.. 
Looking good you hairy monkey. :crunch:
It will take a while before the schematics are forthcoming. TJ just moved across the state and is starting a new job on Monday. There are versions of the schematic existing but they’re not refined enough for release.
That looks great. Congratulations. You’ve done the community a great good.
Not yet 
We still haven’t released the schematics for it. And with out those, most people would have to “reinvent to wheel” so to speak to have this themselves. That and you need to be able to read schematics have some ability to solder, because you solder, a lot.
But that’s just if you decide to do it the same way as my prototype. There maybe other options in the future.
Looks Great!
Shock and Awe. I don’t do electronics very well, and that is more amazing (to me) that you know! Great job. I’m looking forward to your kit! I have an empty PKE body sitting here just waiting on some awesome electronics.
