Tbaorded emag???!? Oh yes!

[Arstron]

My Internet is not working here at home and I'm posting this from my palm so excuse the sloppy post.

As the title says, I currently have my emag hooked up and running off of a dragun tboard with the ultra chip. I emailed damon at scenario dreams a couple weeks ago asking what voltage range the tboards can handle, after that talk, I found out the tboard can handle the emags 18volts. for testing, I have the board and a micro switch hooked up outside the frame with the solenoid still mounted and the sear still in the frame. once I find a place to mount the board and hook it to the hal harness I will post some pics and a video.

Update 6/7/06:
Here are some pictures for everyone, everything is working with the tboard, including the HES sensor. The only thing I have left to do is to mount the board somewhere and wait until my local pro shop opens back up so I can get some air and make a video.

Warning, these pictures are not 56k friendly:

Oh also, here is a short video, its 3.85 mb...

Enjoy!

Just a quick update, I did get the emag HES sensor working with the tboard today. The tboard is regulated down to 5volts and with a little help from damon (from scenario dreams) I found a was able to wire the HES up and go threw around 200 clicks without a single problem. I am very, VERY optimistic about this project, all that I have left to do is find a place to mount this board and get my tank filled so I can make a video for everyone.

I will have some pictures up soon enough, I still have to find a way to mount the board. I suppose I could take a short video of the light on the board flashing as I pull the emag trigger with the hes hooked up. I would take a picture of the solenoid pulling the sear as well, but a 9volt battery will even do that.

awwwww

still no piks?

still no piks?

Ok Ok! This thread isnt worthless no more! Pictures and videos are now in the original thread.

Nice

Where did you pick up the +5v to power the HES from?

After searching with a voltmeter I found the small capacitor that is attached to the board puts out a constant 5V so I soldered a wire under the board to it.

Nice work Arston....
