I yet have to decide where to place the IR receiver and emitter in the falcon but it will probably be RX in the cockpit and TX in the glass top (top canons). The stock remote can still be used to control the desired color ambiance. This way, I will control the falcon using IR with a higher level scenario (like, engine on, start cruising, engine off, land, chewbacca quotes, luke's saber training etc) using the A/V amp remote and the falcon will automatically reflect the selected scenario part with a different lighting. Then I built a IR gateway / relay / proxy in one of the space wall posts As I hate multiple remotes and I have already plenty enough in the HC room, I sniffed the strip IR remote with a teensy, wrote all the codes, then sniffed my A/V amp (sony) remote that has unused keys and which is emitting with totally different protocol compared with the ledstrip. Regarding control and interaction, I'm using a basic RGB strip for the general lighting. Here's a proof of concept as I'm still waiting for more GTP panels, they had production issues with the storms and floods in china. So the 4 sides will be "coated" with panels and a led strip lighting controlled by IR. As the bottom of the table has a small gap (to retain magazine and remotes) made of very thin teak, I decided to add a shiny black flooring made of a PVC sheet, just like in the death star boarding hangars. I had some space walls panels that (finally) wouldn't fit in my display cabinets, so even if the scale isn't perfect, it was the perfect height for the table and I decided to make the inside of the table look more scifi. Then I realized that it would look very odd to have the falcon just sitting on a wood plate. I sourced a teak table of 1x1 m square with a glass top to see thru and started the project by oiling itĪs displaying anything with an open box collects dust, I thought that I would just close the sides with plywood coated with real teak sheets I was also very disappointed by the lighting interaction of the falcon, the engine lights suck, there NO bottom lighting etc. So I thought the new furniture should be a display for it. I moved it in my little one's room but my girls didn't play a lot with it. To complicate things there's this big hasbro millenium falcon toy Erv' purchased when it came out, which used to be displayed like poop on the HC room wall, looked more like a western hung dude instead of proper presentation. In addition, when we watch a movie in general during the WE, we bring food and we needed a larger table for the 4 of us so the ikea table became a Playmobil house stand for my older one :love: (with parts storage in the side drawers, keeps the mess away) and I looked for options for a bigger table. It just didn't match the colors of the room anymore, it was purchased black to go with the black carpeted floor for version one now it's all beige, egg shell, red and gray. It had a glass top allowing for putting some paper items under (I had an aged middle earth map there, a few pics etc) and the side drawers are handy for remotes and such. It got covered on hack-a-day as well (thank you Tom Nardy) : This got initially posted on the Replica Prop Forum (RPF) : (project started in october 2018, completed in march 2020) Project pitch : The Home Cinema room had a basic but neat table like this one.
