EDIT: I have upload a stand that uses 4 addtional magnets (10mmx2mm Round) so you can display is with the magnetic feature. Of course I had to add the Goldeneye logo too it but you can cut it off if you wish for a plain stand.

Recreate the legendary remote mine from GoldenEye 007 with this fully functional, Arduino-powered prop. Designed to house electronics and a 9V battery, this model lights up and beeps in the same pattern seen in the N64 game — perfect for display, cosplay, or just sticking to your fridge and smiling.

🛠 Features:

• 6x 5mm pre-wired red LEDs with built-in resistors (recommended)
• SPDT locking push switch to arm the device (just like in-game)
• Designed for Arduino Nano
• Optional passive 5V piezo buzzer support
• Base holds 12x 10mm magnets for surface mounting
• Powered by a 9V battery, secured by the screw-together top shell using M3 10–20mm bolts

🖨️ Printing Recommendations:

• 0.2mm layer height
• Normal Snug supports required for Top Remote, you can orientate another way for less supports but its not that great also adjust your support z offets if yusing cheap or PLA+, it will be very hard to remove
• I use Varible Layer Height to smooth out the stepping on the Top and Bottom

💻 Flashing the Arduino Nano

1. Download the Arduino sketch from GitHub (https://github.com/ASTDrones/Goldeneye-Remote-Mine).
2. Open the sketch in the Arduino IDE.
3. Under Tools > Board, select Arduino Nano.
4. Choose the correct port.
5. Click Upload to flash the code.
6. After flashing, the Nano will automatically run the blink/beep cycle on power-up.

🔧 Assembly Instructions

📍 Orientation Note (Important!)

Before starting, make sure the mine is oriented correctly:

✅ The battery slot should be at the top, and the LEDs are mounted vertically along the left and right sides of the mine.

• Left side (top to bottom): LED 1, 2, 3
• Right side (top to bottom): LED 4, 5, 6

This orientation ensures that the wiring order matches the code and pinout correctly.

1. LED Installation

• Use pre-wired 5mm red LEDs with built-in resistors.
• Insert LEDs into the LED holders, then push the holders into the Top Shell.
• Secure with glue if needed.

2. Push Button

• Install the SPDT locking switch into the center hole.
• Glue or friction-fit it into place.

3. Wiring the LEDs

• Solder the LED positive wires to the following Nano pins:

• Purpose	Component	Connects To Nano Pin
  LED 3 (+)	Bottom-left LED	D3
  LED 2 (+)	Middle-left LED	D4
  LED 1 (+)	Top-left LED	D5
  LED 4 (+)	Top-right LED	D6
  LED 5 (+)	Middle-right LED	D7
  LED 6 (+)	Bottom-right LED	D8
  Buzzer (+)	Buzzer	D9

   

   

   

• Then, twist all LED negative (ground) wires together,
  AND twist in the black/negative wire from the 9V battery snap.
• Solder the entire twisted bundle to one of the Nano’s GND pins.

This ensures both the LEDs and the battery share a common ground.

4. Power Setup

• Connect the positive wire to one terminal of the push switch.
• Connect the other terminal of the switch to Nano VIN.

This setup powers the Nano when the red button is locked into the ON position.

5. Mounting & Electronics

• Use VHB tape or similar to secure the Nano inside.
• Solder the buzzer (if using):
  • + to D9 Pin, – to GND
• Place the 9V battery inside the bottom shell.

6. Final Assembly

• Screw the Top and Bottom Shells together using M3 bolts (10–20mm).
• Glue magnets into the base cavities — 2 magnets per hole is sufficient, though the example shown uses 3 per hole for extra grip.
