Microwavenono Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 are you selling this mod kit yet? Quote
Stormtrooper1 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Hi Manuel. Inspiring. I have ordered parts from all over the planet. So when I get all my parts, hopefully you could help me too as I am a doofus at this kind of thing? Or anybody else too can chip in. Much love to all. Quote
Stormtrooper1 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Also I am having no luck finding the constant regulated led driver mr16 1w 320 350ma..any ideas? The cheapest I could find is $20! Amazon do not stock it at present but price was $2...I am based in the UK. Quote
ptbenz Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Im building my kit this next week (hooray, vacation!). I will post as things happen. I'm pretty much building this exactly as the sketch is laid out, just adding a vibration motor of recoil effect. I would love to add some sort of LED screen for pics, scrolling effects, status updates, etc. Thatay be a mod I add down the road though communication from the JRS DL Edited May 30, 2015 by ptbenz Quote
Stormtrooper1 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Can't wait to see that ptbenz...sounds amazing. Quote
Khazid[TK] Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Get the LED driver from DX-Extreme (they ship from China). There is a link to the site and the part in the first post in the thread. 1 Quote
Stormtrooper1 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 Khazid..you're a star as earlier I tried that link,it then sent me somewhere far far away and total cost was £16 or $23..now clicked it..& £1.60 or $2.40 delivered RESULT!!!! Big hugs..so all I'm short now is the battery. Quote
Khazid[TK] Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 The best bet for the battery is amazon. You can find them normally with two batteries and a charger. Around 18-20 dollars if I recall correctly. Good luck with your build. 1 Quote
djrue[TK] Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 If anyone wants to build this in an entire kit for sale that would be awesome! Quote
ptbenz Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 About 2/3 done. I ran out of LED drivers so waiting for those to finish the build communication from the JRS DL Quote
Khazid[TK] Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) If anyone wants to build this in an entire kit for sale that would be awesome! The issue with building this as a kit for sale is that there is no good way to predict the final installation of the electronics. Circuit board sizes, wiring lengths, etc. An option would be to do it as a full production item, providing the customer with the electronics and fully assembled replica. That has its own issues (shipping restrictions, etc.), and you have hit the wall again. Sadly, while Skyone's work is amazing, it is a DIY project. If you take the plunge and hit the wall he is incredibly helpfull in troubleshooting. Now that mine is done, I would offer help as well, though I do not know electronics as well as Skyone.

Wraith[501st] Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 I really wish my local Radio Shack hadn't just closed its doors permanently. What an amazing idea and build! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Have started gathering all the needed electronics, and have a few plans for Easter eggs (Hidden features) as will be building one for me and one for another garrison member. I no doubt will be hitting you up with a few questions along the way. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Chivo Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Hi Sly11 If you get stuck I can help you a little, have done about 7 of these and still have a few parts left over if you get stuck. Not sure if you had seen ours at DW15 From the Desert Scorpion Squad. Cheers Michael 2 Quote

Unfortunately I couldn't make DW this year, had a damn bike race on up at Noosa that weekend. Currently have parts coming in from China, so once I get started I may very well drop you a line.

ptbenz Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 E11 arduino: Almost done! Everything works but Im going to mod a few things, flip the led bar the right away, adjust some audio files and add a vibration motor to replicate recoil. I customized some sound and added a Wampa set. I will be removing the jawa and adding fart gun back in. Now to install. Im putting it in a new Disney Parks Hasbro with modified resin parts, working folding stock, laser site, and reticle. Feedback appreciated communication from the JRS DL 2 Quote

Sly11[Admin] Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Have a steady stream of parts coming in from around the world. Will be doing two of these side by side with another Redback member. this is definitely a DIY job, so will spend much of my time with the wiring and programing. Intend to use only some of the sound effects and then add a few surprises, call them Easter eggs to the second build. My fellow trooper will do more on the build side for the resin kits, and am even considering casting a few modified E11 parts to better fit the electronics. Many thanks to Skyone for his inspiration build, am very excited to start this project. 1 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Ha ha problem solved, I just worked out where i went wrong. please disregard the below. Below is what i have posted on Khazids thread, with regards to my Arduino and uploading files to it. As you will read i am having some trouble and have explained at the bottom what I have done. Any pointers and help is greatly appreciated. Did you ever get messages like this when trying to upload the program into the nano board? Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"Sketch uses 7,332 bytes (23%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes.Global variables use 237 bytes (11%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,811 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified.Hi Skyone Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.c...shooting#uploadfor suggestions. This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" enabled in File > Preferences. So basically, as an experiment, I took your files as per the link, opened up the Arduino software put them in, plugged in the Arduino and hit the upload. It starts to run through the process, then gives me the above message Problem uploading to board. Only just started to play around with the software but thought it might be a simple thing, I am doing wrong. Edited August 12, 2015 by Sly11 Quote
Balders Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 Hi there, I've just ordered all the parts (mostly from china, hengstler from Germany) to build my sound system for my hasbro/doopydoos conversion. Any chance you could pm me the sound files package please? Quote
