I made an automated cigarette bot

Have been missing playing with Arduino, and more broadly electronics, since I left uni a few years ago. Decided to do a silly little project to get back into it again, and this was the result.

Very unserious and intentionally pointless; it uses a haar cascade to track my face, and whistle detection to trigger the firing mechanism. Just a bit of fun, will definitely be messing around and doing some more projects like this.

Powered by an arduino nano, and a bunch of servos and relays, cobbled together into a 3D printed body.

(Apologies for formatting, I’m writing on mobile. Oh the horror)

Loung cancer. Automated. For better world.

Don't smoke kids. But also do you have a github?

[u/lensally → u/NegotiationFresh7538]

I do, but I’ve been very lazy and haven’t pushed to it in years.

See what smoking does to someone, boys and girls.

If it actually nailed your mouth, you would have eaten that cigarette 😂

This seems like a good way to choke to death painfully by inhaling a lit cigarette.

Fun build though ;-)

What a way to go though

This is sick as fuck. Definitely consider scaling up production. Please bro 🙏

Tobacco tar with a little plastic too.

Higher angle, lower speed, so you have some reaction time?

Looks cool.
