I realy appriciate all you guys helping me. I have another question about the warp feed.

How do you add an on off switch to the feed. I know you can buy parts from radio shack. But what's the wireing diagram and what parts do I buy?

Thanks again Dansim,RogueFactor,tunaman and all you others out there.!

I have done it to mine, do a search and you will find it.

You can do a search or PM Timmy63 or Chupas2. They setup the majority of our team.

Find a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch at radio shack. Make sure you know how big of a hole to drill to mount it. Take the nine volt adapter, that you put the 9 volt battery into, and cut the black wire. Strip a little of each end of the cut wire. Then, tie, or better yet, solder, these ends onto each little prong sticking out of the switch. Then, drill a hole and mount the switch. It's that simple.

I put a Green LED on mine, in parralel (spelling I know, I worked 8 hours then played 4 today I'm beat), so I can tell whether the things on or off.

Here's a pic...

Try this:

it's the 12v mod the on/off switch should just break the positive circut.

P.S. If your going to do a twelve volt mod put in a 10 microfared capacitor (polarized) so that the sensor will work ok and the voltage will have the right drop.

someone could make some money by charging people to send in thier warps to get LED and On/Off

Thanks :) I'm a big electronics geek. Not like it took much. Only problem you encounter is that normal LEDs don't work off of 9 volts, a resister must be added in order to drop the current, otherwise you can watch your pretty LED go POP.

I am replacing it with a blue one. Blue LEDs are rather rare and expensive, therefore awesome :)

If anyone wants me to do this to their warp, give me a PM. I might consider it. I like small projects anyway... Just let me know what you want, and I'll let you know what I can do. I can also do the 12 volt modification, which uses 2 nine volts (my warp doesn't have this right now... I actually haven't really had a need for it yet, but it'll be in my projects list. :)
