I modified the Heng Long HBU to work with the Darkith DBC. I added LEDs and packaged all up in an apple. Works very well.

OK now you must show and tell all. gawd i love this site. so many talented people.

If you go to Darkith's website he basically lays it out for you. Two sets of two LEDs wired in parallel with each set going through a resistor in series to limit the voltage to each set of LEDs. I replaced the Heng Long Sensor in the tower with a 38 Mhz sensor. Everything works great. I used an old DBU board that I had screwed up some of the wire tracing on for this one, but I guy could get some perf board and wire it up as well.

Mato sells the Sensor for $11, and then another $5 for LED's and resistors, and you have a reasonably priced battle unit.

That looks sharp. I wonder if I should consider a PCB with just the LEDs & resistors, plus a spot to mount the HBU. Could even come packaged with a sensor to replace the stock HBU sensor.

Hrm...

D.

Now you're talkin'.

I think that would be an excellent idea.

do consider, do! please.

On the other hand locating the leds in place of, in position of periscope would be cool and should not offend the mo[img][/img]re purist battlers.

very nice clean job their, nice to see the old system being somewhat re-cycled rather than completely ripped out!!

cheers,

Matt

I repainted the unit. Looks a little more "factory" now
