Tolo[TK] Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Hello Troops, After reading Spycee's thread on a magnetic switch, I decided to give it a try. This is a beta version of a beta version. It's simply a window switch for an alarm system. Now, I can't wait to troop to see how it will go. But, I'm sure I will need to move something around to get it more functional. https://youtu.be/BIVn0isPLBY Eric 1 Quote
Spycee[TK] Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 It is exactly what I want to do, but I prefer not having a cord that runs on my arm. I will place the magnet in the glove, and the other part inside the armor. Thanks for the example ! Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Awesome idea. Loving the static bursts. Just wondering how you want to control this while holding your blaster...?! Quote
Tolo[TK] Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 Awesome idea. Loving the static bursts. Just wondering how you want to control this while holding your blaster...?! Well, it's pretty simple actually ; I don't know yet lolllll I was thinking about last night and I still think the push to talk switch is better, for now, until I managed to get a way to make it work. I did not spend time on it. I used a 3$ switch and an earth magnet. I'm trying a way to make a PTT better. For me, the orginal IComm one is too small. Maybe just a bigger button would do the trick.

Gale Cabur Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Very interested in this from the Mando standpoint. Maybe I could place this in a gauntlet and the magnet in my glove? From the TK standpoint PTT would make more sense but you could always place it in the non-firing hand (the one holding the barrel) and subtly activate it. Quote

That's a great idea! Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote
netslave[501st] Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 To use with a blaster, simply put a second magnet on the blaster at a specific spot, then move your hand over that spot to speak. I'm working on a system that switches from external communication, to a private channel via walkie talkie to talk to my wife while we troop. Would be useful for squad communications too. But I'm looking for a smaller magnetic switch than a typical window/door switch. The recessed door switches can be smaller, if you cut them out of the plastic holders. Like these:http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-951WG-WH-Recessed-Magnetic-Contact/dp/B001UKY1A4/ref=pd_sim_hi_8?ie=UTF8&refRID=093A541Z3JGMGKJPRY7K Quote
