Aliens' M314 Motion Tracker Brought to Life by RobSmithDev
A creative maker, RobSmithDev, has brought the iconic M314 Motion Tracker from the film Aliens to life using modern technology. The device, now functional, works similarly to the one seen in the movie.
Rob, a skilled maker, replicated the M314 Motion Tracker using 3D printing and microcontrollers. He aimed to mimic the functionality of the original prop as closely as possible.
The motion tracker can detect movement within a few meters. It achieves this by employing a 60 GHz transmitter and three receivers. This modern electronics setup elevates the tracker beyond previous attempts to recreate the prop.
Rob used the DreamHAT+ Radar HAT for Raspberry Pi to create the functional motion tracker. This innovative use of technology brings a classic film prop into the realm of practical, everyday use.
RobSmithDev's functional M314 Motion Tracker, using modern electronics and 3D printing, successfully replicates the motion detection feature of the iconic film prop. This creation showcases the intersection of film nostalgia and innovative technology.
