Salvaged Mic and Amp

[The Anonymous Egyptian]

So I was doing a little digging on the FISD last night and I discovered that the Static Burst Generator in the 2009 Hasbro helmets yielded a good result for a budget build. I managed to pick a commander rex helmet up a couple of years back for £2 with all the electronics still intact. Last night I managed to, piece by piece, pry apart the helmet and get the components i needed. Now, considering eBay was charging a good £10 for just the electronics, I believe that I have found myself a bargain!! What do you guys think?

 

I also found this cool:

Be neat to see if someone could mod it into an imperial riot trooper!!

 

<EDIT> The mic/amp setup is button operated, is there any way I can activate it with just my voice??

I guess the easiest way would be to bypass the push to talk button, and put in an on/off switch. Which would need a bit of solder work, but then you would have an option to have a constant open mic. Don't think that that would trigger the static burst though as I assume the burst kicks in when you release the speak button.

Yeah pretty much. I'll send a photo later, but for the SBG (static burst generator) to work, the button needs to be held down (similar to a walkie talkie). I'm not entirely sure what the constant open mic would do though, would it be the same as just holding the button down?? Likewise, is there a device, such as a a LDR or Thermistor that detects sound? Because if I could install that the effect would be the same as an open mic, just without the Static.

The constant on mic won't trigger static more then on power up or off.

Just spend £20 on an aker. You will be surprised how good it sounds. Don't need a static burst!
