The Luxor Cab as seen in BTTF2, based on a NOREV 1/18 Citroen Pallas scale model. The model has landing gears driven by servo motors and integrated LED’s. To do get things as 'screen accurate' as possible , I used screen images and footage from the original hero car. Starting from a 3d scan from the Norev model, drawn in CAD and 3D printed (SLA, FDM, Polyjet). Finished with spray paint and custom made decals. To figure out the animation of the 4 servo's and the LEDs I used the EZ builder on a pc. The mobile ez-buider app also works great on this model.

@Jeremie I Checked the costumes you guys built, great stuff.. Back to the future 2 I found such a great movie for prop replica/scale modeling projects! The mobile ARC I find a great feature. I was looking around if there was a way to run scripts on the ARC without a phone or computer connected.. any idea?

Thanks @Buratino!

Yeah BTTF2 was the best:)

As for running an EZ-B without a phone or computer, it’s not possible, but you can use a small SBC (Single board computer) such as a Latte Panda or Raspberry Pi to do both (computer + EZ-B in one).

@Jeremie, Do you have any experience running ARC on a Raspberry? Did that work good? Could be a nice solution to run a ARC without a phone or PC connected..

I have a bit of experience running ARC on a Raspberry Pi, there are some features that aren't supported yet but in general it works pretty good!

Check out the tutorial!
