Hi, everyone. I just wanted to share some work I did on my Imperial Raider - added lights, sound effects and a control app via wifi. The entire project source code, links to hardware and some notes on how I did it are available on GitHub: https://github.com/jychuah/imperial_raider

If you'd like to see the effects in action with the app, I have it on YouTube:

Do you have any hints for cracking open the Falcon? I have a ton of blue LEDs left over and I never roll her out anymore. (I'm sure adding LEDs would make me use the Falcon more.)

It’s realky not amazing. They look much better on film. The camera can’t handle the light so it gives it that sweet glowing aura. It’s far less impressive in real life.

You're in luck. I happen to have a video on opening a Falcon up.
