PIRATE'S COVE GAMING BOARD – pt.2

Marko Paunović, 22nd August 2020

This article finds the second and final part of the step by step tutorial of the building process of a gaming board for a board game called Pirate's Cove that my club's (terrain workshop did a couple of years ago.

The Design:

In the previous article, Andrija and I made the basic outline of the board with the frame, ran the wires underneath the board and made all the ships. The next thing, before the actual build, would be to have all the electronics installed so the terrain could be built around it. Before installment, we needed to check all the calculations and agree on the final layout of all the features.

Electronics:

In this model we decided to fit the smoke generator (hereinafter - fogger), and in every house an LED would be built in order to evoke the effect of burning lamps or candles. As the power source for the board we chose the electricity from the grid which meant 220V AC current (in Croatia). Therefore the alternating current must be mentioned here, since the fogger is powered via the adapter from the city grid. The adapter which goes with the fogger changes AC 220V current to 24V AC also. (NOTE: If the device transforms the current from 220V AC to 24V DC for example, it is then called the transformer - author's note).

The advantage of using city power grid (ie adapters and transformers) is that there is no concern about the consumption of electricity, namely, no batteries which could be spent.

Since the LEDs are working exclusively on DC, it was necessary to connect the LED circuitry in parallel with the fogger. Apart from the fogger branch, we needed to extract one branch to go through Graetz bridge which would be connected to all the LED circuitry. As explained in a previous issue, Graetz combination (ie single-phase full-wave rectifier) only corrects the voltage, but it does not ''straighten'' it. In order to straighten the voltage it is necessary to add an RC circuit. In this gaming board, that was not necessary to make because the local electrical grid works on frequency f = 50 Hz (meaning that the voltage is sinusoidal and makes 50 cycles per second). Using a single-phase full-wave rectifier that frequency doubles, so the frequency is 100Hz. The human eye does not notice the higher frequency of 20Hz. What does this mean exactly? That our LED will be flashing 100 times per second, but you will not notice it. Indeed, it will look as if the LED were constantly lit. It should be noted that Graetz circuit losses of approximately 10% and that voltage 24V DC will therefore be around 22V DC.

The calculation of the LED circuits is relatively simple because there is a lot of repetition. Each branch (except Crew Island) looks the same and as far as the resistance calculation runs as follows:

and for Crew Island:

Here we calculate the electrical power in each branch :

which is relatively high power. It is no surprise when one considers the fact that the resistor reduces the voltage for 20V! This information is important when choosing the resistor, because when you buy it, you will need to emphasize that you are looking for such a powerful resistor. For the Crew Island two resistors of 50Ω and 0.04 W are required

This result is also not surprising because the resistor reduces the voltage for only 2V, and through it flows a current of 20mA.

We now return to the beginning - the adapter, which in this case has Imax=1200mA. The next step is to add all the currents in the branches.

So, to run all the LEDs you need 240mA which leaves 960mA for fogger to work, which after testing with a multimeter showed that is enough. If it were not,the calculation should be revised.

Finally, the elements needed for this project are:
• Fogger (with adapter AC 220V → 24V AC)
• 2 pairs of male-female Jack's
• Graetz bridge
• 7 switches
• 10 R = 1kΩ resistor R, P = 0.5 W
• 2 R = 50Ω resistor
• 27 LEDs (yellow, 3mm)
• 2 LEDs (red, 5mm → Treasure Island, the eyes of the skull)
• 1 LED (red, 3mm → Tavern Island, the upper floor tavern)
• a minimum of 10m of wire.

The Continuation of the Build

Once the electronics were installed and the Graetz bridge was prodected inside a box that was made from balsa wood, we did a test run. The LEDs indeed did not flicker, the volcano produced the fog and we could proceed with the terrain build.

The first island we tackled was Crew Island. We decided to have a small sea town with a town hall and a church with a graveyard on a hill. The streets of the town were made from plastic pieces of a 1/72 medieval castle. The buildings were built by Andrija from 1,5mm thick balsa wood and thin card. The window shutters were about 1x1mm in size and were each cut from a piece of paper. We placed most of the buildings on top of 3mm yellow LEDs that were drilled through the bottom of the plastic street construction.

The fortress on Gun Island was done from the same medieval castle plastic kit. Sides of the octogonal bastions were carefully cut using a scalpel blade. The guns were salvaged from a Revell plastic ship. To finish the job, we placed a chain at the port entrance.

The body of all the islands was made from 2cm thick HD styrofoam. The beaches, cliffs and the rest of the features were modelled from air drying clay (DAS). The piers were done from 2mm thick balsa wood. Once the clay and PVA glue were dry, the islands were coated in watered down PVA glue. The top surfaces were sprinkled over with coarser sand while the beaches were covered with smallest grain sand we could find. In this case, it was chinchilla sand from a local pet shop.

With this, most of the islands were done. All that was left was to do the Pirate's Cove island and make a removable volcano. We had to make the volcano removable to make it possible to fill and empty the vessel for the water that the fogger uses to make fog. If we left the board in one piece, it would have been impossible to empty the tank which would eventually cause the formation of calk or something even worse. Again, the body of the island was built by HD styrofoam. Using styrofoam boards made it possible to have a straight cut between the island and the removable volcano. Once the island part of styrofoam was dry, the tank was placed in its spot and around it another layer of styrofoam was placed and glued to the tank from the top side. Once it was dry, we made the island and volcano features following the same procedure as we did for the rest of the islands using DAS air drying clay. Once it was dry, we textured it with sand (two different sizes).

The islands were painted using Pebeo Deco colours (Black, Brown, Ochre, Ash, White and Grey) and flocked using static grass. The trees were made from twisted wire trees bought on Ebay. When the islands were done, I painted the seas. As I wanted the blue to be really bright, I used a white undercoat that was hand painted using a large brush as I didn't want to risk botching up the rest of the work by accidental spillage by using sprey/air brush. After it was done, I mixed several shades of blue (by mixing Pebeo Deco White and Blue). Each progressive layer had more Blue in it. Before pouring in the resin, we decided to make a compass with a club sign. The painted design on a piece of paper was simply cut out and glued using watered down PVA glue. All that was needed was to mix the resin and pour it in carefully. For this, we used Gedeo Crystal Resin. A quick calculation revealed that we needed 600ml of resin in order to make the water 1,5-2mm deep. Carefully we mixed the two part resin (mixing ratio is 2:1 vol which makes it easy to work with). Once the mixture was fully mixed I added a couple of drops of Pebeo Vitrail Sky Blue colour. Be careful when mixing, because you can easily overdo it and be left with too dark a resin.

    Vikend radionica bojanja minijatura održana je u subotu 13. i 14.09. u Kino dvorani ZZTK. Tema je bila korištenje kontras/speed paint boja na većem broju minijatura.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Radionica se provodila kroz dva dana (cijeli vikend) i polaznici su bojili nekoliko (2-3) različitih figura koristeći Contrast boje za brzo bojanje minijatura. Fokus ovih predavanja bio je bojenje više minijatura odjednom, no znanja s radionice jednako su primjenjiva i na bojenje vojski za boardgame igre te kolekcija figura za pen&paper rpg-ove. Svaki polaznik je složio dvije do tri figure iz našeg fundusa, ali po prvi puta im je omogućeno i donođšenje vlastitih figura za rad na njima. Na radionici su bile predstavljene boje i pribor, priprema figura, nekoliko tehnika bojenja minijatura od osnovnih do naprednijih, te tehnike i trikovi za brzo i efikasno bojenje većih količina figura odjednom. U sklopu radionice bile su korištene akrilne boje na bazi vode s posebnom pažnjom posvećenom Contrast bojama. Predavanja su bila prilagođena tako da je voditelji posvetiti jednako vrijeme svim polaznicima i mogao se prilagoditi svim kategorijama minijaturista (od početnika do malo naprednijih).

    Radionica se odvijala na sljedeći način:
    Prvo, predavač sjedi za svojim stolom te objašnjava i demonstrira pojedini korak u bojanju minijature/makete na svojem primjerku. Njegov rad se preko kamere i projektora prikazuje na platnu što polaznici slušaju, gledaju, ali i postavljaju pitanja.
    Potom, polaznici primjenjuju stečeno znanje. Voditelj kruži između polaznika i provjerava kako svakom polazniku ide. Na taj način, može se prilagoditi svakom polazniku ponaosob.

The program called Agram Group Build was created after our members discussed joint projects on Wednesdays and how it would be convenient to gather more people on Wednesdays at our Hobby corner to work on a common "something"... #Project2 presents a dieselpunk diorama of a flying island with a fast food stand and several docks for flying cars, and the wonderful art of Alejandro Burdisi serves as a template. The main effects on the diorama will be LED lighting, but also the application of the tensegrity principle.

    Recently, we received new LEDs as well as 3D prints of bits and figures that will go on our diorama. The cars will get a new drive that looks fantastic. For each vehicle, we printed "wheels" in their size.

    It's been a while since the last article. In the meantime, we've done the calculations for the electricity, but also confirmed the practical calculations. We decided on 6 circuits - each of which is powered by its own Cr2032 battery at 3V. In addition, we decided to create a parallel power supply for all circuits via a single transformer from 220 V AC to 3 V DC. The switch will determine which power supply is used. In theory, it sounds feasible, but it needs to be tested.

    Click for enlarged picture

    According to the sketch, the most loaded circuit is the one from the flying car, which has as many as 9 LEDs in it. Therefore, we put together a circuit with all nine LEDs on the test board - four blue, two white, two red and one green and connected everything to one Cr 2032 battery.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Everything worked so we decided to let them burn overnight. All the LEDs burned for about 10 hours. Which is satisfactory for group performances – because they will certainly burn for the duration of the performance. And for the exhibition, it will still be necessary to connect the diorama to a 220 V transformer.

    Prošlo je dosta vremena od zadnjeg članka. U međuvremenu smo odradili proračune za struju, ali i potvrdili praktično proračune. Odlučili smo se na 6 strujnih krugova – svaki od kojih je pokretan svojom Cr2032 baterijom na 3V. Pored toga, odlučili smo da napravimo i paralelno napajanje svih strujnih krugova preko jednog transformatora sa 220 V izmjenično na 3 V istosmjerno. Prekidač će određivati koje napajanje se koristi. U teoriji zvuči izvedivo, ali potrebno je to i testirati.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Prema planu, najopterećeniji strujni krug je onaj iz letećeg auta koji u sebi ima čak 9 LEDica. Stoga smo na testnoj ploči složili strujni krug sa svih devet LEDica – četiri plave, dvije bijele, dvije crvene i jednom zelenom te sve spojili na jednu Cr 2032 bateriju.

    Sve je radilo pa smo odlučili pustiti ih da gore preko noći. Sve LEDice su gorile cca 10 sati. Što je zadovoljavajuće za udružne nastupe – jer će sigurno gorjeti dok traje nastup. A za izložbu će ipak biti potrebno spojiti dioramu na transformator na 220 V.

    Here's a little tip for hobbyists that have been useful for me lately.

    It's a phone app called paintRack. 

    Click for enlarged picture

    It's an app made specifically for our hobby, and has many useful features. 
     
    Among these features are the Library where I register every paint color I own and from which paint brand. This gives me a good overview and I can always refer to it when I'm planning a project. 
     
    Sets is where I write down my color schemes for different projects, so I'll remember them if I ever have to reproduce them again in the future. 
     
    Click for enlarged picture
     
    Color tools is my most used feature. If there's a paint I don't own and I want to know the closest color possible within my paints, I find it and open it in color tools. Someone recommended me Vallejo's Light Brown, but since my local hobby shop doesn't sell Vallejo, I check which other color from for example Citadel or AK is a close match. The feature even provides you with a number showing how close of a match it is. A 0.00 is a perfect match. The closest one here is a 4.10 which is decent.
     
    Click for enlarged picture
     
    The color tools also has another useful feature where you can upload any image and select any part of that image, and it provides you with the closest color match. Either from your own paints or all existing paint ranges (you can choose which paint brands you want it to show you).
     
    Click for enlarged picture
     
    The last useful thing I want to mention about the paintRack app is something I only discovered recently, as I'm integrating more use of AI in my work and hobby. From the app you can export your library list of paints as a file. In my case I have all my paints registered in the app, so this provides me with an extensive list of all colors I have access to. This list I upload to an AI, and this lets me have a very useful conversation with it about color schemes and paint ideas.

    Evo malog savjeta za hobiste koji mi je u posljednje vrijeme bio koristan.

    To je aplikacija za telefon pod nazivom paintRack. 

    Click for enlarged picture

    To je aplikacija napravljena posebno za naš hobi i ima mnogo korisnih značajki. 
     
    Među tim značajkama je i Biblioteka u kojoj registriram svaku boju koju posjedujem i od koje marke boje. To mi daje dobar pregled i uvijek se mogu pozvati na to kada planiram projekt. 
     
    Setovi su mjesto gdje zapisujem svoje sheme boja za različite projekte, tako da ću ih zapamtiti ako ih ikada budem morao ponovno reproducirati u budućnosti.

    Alati za boje su moja najčešće korištena značajka. Ako postoji boja koju ne posjedujem i želim znati najbližu moguću boju unutar svojih boja, pronađem je i otvorim je u alatima za boje. Netko mi je preporučio Vallejo's Light Brown, ali budući da moja lokalna trgovina hobijima ne prodaje Vallejo, provjerim koja je druga boja, na primjer iz Citadel ili AK, bliska podudarnost. Značajka vam čak daje broj koji pokazuje koliko je blizu podudaranja. 0,00 je savršeno podudaranje. Najbliže ovdje je 4,10, što je pristojno.

    Alati za boje također imaju još jednu korisnu značajku gdje možete prenijeti bilo koju sliku i odabrati bilo koji dio te slike, a ona vam pruža najbliže podudaranje boja. Bilo iz vaših vlastitih boja ili svih postojećih raspona boja (možete odabrati koje marke boja želite da vam prikaže).

    Posljednja korisna stvar koju želim spomenuti o aplikaciji paintRack nešto je što sam tek nedavno otkrio, jer sve više integriram korištenje umjetne inteligencije u svoj posao i hobi. Iz aplikacije možete izvesti popis boja iz svoje biblioteke kao datoteku. U mom slučaju, sve moje boje su registrirane u aplikaciji, tako da mi to pruža opsežan popis svih boja kojima imam pristup. Ovaj popis prenosim na umjetnu inteligenciju, a to mi omogućuje vrlo koristan razgovor s njom o shemama boja i idejama za boje.

    This summer, Željko visited Ingolstadt, and its Bayerisches Armeemuseum is full of military history (albeit with a short gap for obvious reasons).
