Default RE: IR version T34 to HL saga

Sorry Guys trying to be too clever there!!

Right, the last schematic includes the wiring needed for the T34 headlight and hull mg to operate. This uses the HL electronics via the connector block. If you follow the advice from Wackywheels thread, he uses a cheap multi connector strip to mate the HL wiring loom with the WSN cabling headed for the turret. In the UK we sometimes know these connectors as "chocolate blocks" because of their similarities to a bar of chocolate, but basically they are just lots of screw terminals in a long strip.

I've shown the wires FROM the HL loom coming in on the l/h side of the connector block. All the wiring on the right hand side is WSN stock colouring as per my machine. The only wire I have a problem with is the thick black wire which sets off from the cannon mounted microswitch. I have routed this to the connector purely because with my limited electronic ability, I don't know where it SHOULD connect. I assume it has something to do with the cannon flash, but as to where it would need to be attached ........
So, in a nutshell, other than the wires entering the connector from the left side, this is all WSN turret wiring. I omitted the wiring inside the hull because Wackywheels had done a far better job on his thread than I ever could.

By the way, this IS a WSN machine, (it says so about ten times on the box and transmitter!!)

One final update guys:
Missed-off a wire!! On the Recoil motor at the green wire connection, there is also another blue wire attached. Now I somehow missed this and I "think" it went to the mg alongside the cannon on the mantle to the thin black wire, but unfortunately this wire has snapped-off in all the moving around, so cannot be 100% sure on this.
I was hoping to double-up the wiring for this mg so it fired with the main mg, but once again one of the LED legs have snapped off at the LED base, so the cables are useless, oh well never mind.
