This video is about my small 5 Dollar DIY Halloween Fogger Halloween time is once again upon us: This is kind-of an of-topic video from me: I saw this lady puffing on this e-cigarette thingy, putting everything around her in a haze, I instantly remembered the battery-powered smoke machine I always wanted ..... so here it is. BOM: To make this you need: - some prototype circuit board - 30cm nichrome wire 0.2mm thick - some cotton pads - some wire - a chipset fan 12V - 4 male pin headers (2pin) - some fog juice (water based) - optional: a switch - optional: 4 crimp wire connectors - a 7.2V 4.5Ah 6Cell battery pack The video just covers making the evaporator, I did not build a nice case for it. If you choose to build this, please be careful. This thing uses and emits a lot of energy. Built wrong or operated at wrong voltage levels there is a risk of fire. Be careful, be safe ! I will not accept responsibility for any damages caused by trying to reproduce this.

There have been a number of requests to make a video about the controllers, arduinos, chips and boards I use, and this is it. I apologise beforehand for my accent, because I am a german from Swabia that grew up in upstate New York..... My own plotter designs are based around the Arduino nano and my (self plotted) controller designs. They work out quite well although I must admit that there is a certain chicken-in-the-egg conflict around. Since this is my first narrated video I value all input towards improving. The files and designs shown here are available for download via github. See here: https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/uCNC_controller It is published under GPLv2 and should be considered beta quality.
