Spring is upon us and Instructables user [Mischka] decided it was a good idea to combine two flavors we never considered putting together: The Easter Bunny and the A-Team.
He decided to build the egg as an Easter gift for his brother, who is a huge fan of the A-Team. He found a slightly larger than normal plastic egg, and proceeded to paint the shell white, adding a printed picture of Mr. T once the paint had dried.
The guts of the egg are made up of a Picaxe 08M micro controller mounted on a Picaxe protoboard. Rather fond of buzzing, beeping audio, he decided to forgo a normal speaker and opted to use a piezo instead. To activate the music when the egg is shaken, a tilt switch was added to the board as well. He uploaded his software to the Picaxe, sealed up the egg, and called it a day.
We can imagine his brother will be pretty pleased with the creation – who wouldn’t be? We only wish that there was video of the egg in action.
It should say, “I pity the fool.” when you shake it.
Eggcellent.
I’ll get my coat
Why does this thing not say, “I pity the fool who eats this egg”…even though it is plastic
A crack commando indeed.
I was eggspecting something more eggsquisite, eggsessive and eggstreme.
could fill it with gun powder or nitroglycerine that would be more a-team like.
I pity the fool who tries to scramble THAT egg!!
