That looks very cool, and maybe I am weird but I think that is going to look killer with the tank rocking some also!!!
Shoot now I really want to install one of the units I have, but probably won't be able to do that unitl Sunday..[:-]
Thank for posting keep it coming, I want to hear that boosted sound!
The Blitz
Blitz, I might suggest the following: if you plan to keep the DBC set in 'block recoil' mode, then use the stock muzzle flash system (if you don't like the red led, just change it with a white one): so you will have a flash at least when shooting with the left stick.
If you plan to keep the stock HL recoil (as I do), you can assemble it as I did, connecting the flash led to the mainboard.
One side note about the internal microswitch. It has to be positioned in such a way that the barrel recoil movement begins BEFORE the micro is closed. That's a critical point.
In fact, if the 'K' is pressed before the recoil motor is activated, any current to recoil motor is cut off by the HL board itself and no barrel recoil can be obtained. The shooting signal coming from the left stick forward movement is ignored.
But if the barrel motor starts to move before it, the barrel recoils and at that point the mainboard is bypassed by the direct connection of the barrel motor to the power supply (through the recoil micro and the additional black wire connection), and the barrel returns to its original position regardless of any mainboard signal.
This is a great post,,, you are making my job so much easier, your R & D is excellent, you want to move to Southern California? Ok what about this I have a new super Flash that I have been sending out to a few customers where I combine two LED's ! It sounds like I could do the same concept, but seperate the wire connections, and depending on what is used I have a flash either way!
You know I was hoping when they came up with this design that they had a solution to truly integrate the functions of both of the buttons but it sound like that would take some kind of power IC to distribute the power correctly! That is why I have been asking so many questions and when you showed the little micro switch on the other post, it just did not make sense to me? But now it does they just used that little switch to close the circuit, but the two switches are not really integrated!
All that being said it is still a very cool function and the recoil seems to be nice and quick like a blast should be....OK its daytime borealis where is that sound video??
