Skills, software, and hardware you will need: A live visualization of this is shown in the Tech demo video. This is an approximation of the sequence, and logic flow of the proton pack sounds: from power on, to firing, to overheat / reset, and power off. Neutrina wand / pack: Overheat warning, overheat, shut-down / exhaust / restart sound sequence.Neutrina wand: “Fire start” (press), “Firing” (hold), “Fire stop” (release) sounds. ![]() “Shields up” sound (first time pressing “fire” button).Pardon a few redundant wires, and the breadboard for the power switch and fire button. Aside from the Adafruit Sound Board, most other components can be found via places like Amazon or hobby / electronics shops. OGG files with relatively low latency, and it can be controlled by the Arduino via (serial) UART. For playing sound, the Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board module (16 MB version) looked like a good fit. I decided to use the Arduino platform based on prior experience. “Generally you don't see that kind of behaviour in a major appliance.”īased on the first Ghostbusters film, the proton pack has at least one power switch and one “fire” button for its typical operations: Powering up, down, and fire start/stop. The sound was okay, but not great - and it didn't seem to have all the features I expected. In my case, the Matty wand's line-out ran to a 12V car audio-style amplifier and speaker in the pack. The wand had its own sound effects, as well as a 3.5mm line-out jack. ![]() In 2015, I got a prop shop-made proton pack which included the then-standard “Matty Collector” Neutrino wand. This does not cover any other Ghostbusters-related props, or lighting, or anything else. Note: This project is about assembling and programming the sound effects module, only. In short, I wanted both CD-quality, and more, sound effects for my own proton pack-or should I say-unlicensed nuclear accelerator. ![]() “You're never going to regret this, Ray.” YouTube video: Tech demo, hardware, wiring and code walk-through, ~35 min. ”Ghostbusters“ (1984) Proton Pack: “DIY” Sound Effects Module
