I had it wired up to the 5v but there was a ton of noise. Have to separate the fans and everything else. Worth trying one more time with this step down. If I blow another teensy I think I'll retire my efforts and stick with my icomm until someone else figures it out.

Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Ailavi-Converter-6V-24V-Output-Module/dp/B00XPZ7I4I/ref=pd_sim_23_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=G50300K5VZR84YN3A02Z

I'm not sure. I use an Antigravity Micro-start XP-3 to supply my bracket with 5v and 12v. The fans run on the USB 5v 2.1a but the spec sheet doesn't say how much the 12v jump start runs. I have my setup like Ukswrath's gen 4 electronics build except I have a bigger power supply to easily run all day on one charge

And just like that I managed to pop another teensy. Going to have to order another one and figure out how to downstep 12v to 5v on the teensy. If not I'll just have to get a 18650 cell phone charger to power it. I'm still trying to maintain using my hovi speakers or I would have bought an anker speaker by now

I got my wiring working but since it's on the same power as the 5v fans, there's a ton of noise. Will have to get a 12v step down and move it. I'll keep this updated in case someone else is/plans on doing things the same way I am.

I'll have to look at some photos since I'm much more of a visual person. I guess I'm lucky enough to still have a radio shack nearby. I just saw the part about scrapping the connectors a part on the teensy that seemed like I would screw up

I've used heat shrink wrap on all solder parts. That one picture was me testing (and failing) before figuring it out. The reason I haven't gone the diode route is when I update or modify the teensy I don't want to rely on my USB power supply and just be able to plug it into my computer.

I figured it out after some difficulty. Red to red, black to black. Wired in another switch into the 5v power supply per ukswrath's Gen 4 electronics schematics. Everything turns on but I'm pretty sure I managed to fry the audio shield. I am able to read the teensy and compile when connected to my laptop but nothing is coming out the speaker. Just ordered a replacement audio shield with hopes that's all it is.

Now my issue is trying to figure out how to provide power to it externally. What I want to do is use a JST connector spliced into a 5v external source into a micro usb cable. I want to be able to unplug that usb cable and use a regular one to still hook it up to my computer if needed for updates/changes. If it's better to run the leads straight to the teensy board, I'm fine with that too just not sure where it goes. Something like this but I'll add a switch too. I can get it to power on usb to my computer but not the spliced usb to my external power. The reason why I'm not going straight to a tube usb supply is because I already have everything else wired up like ukswrath does.

There's a lot of online services that are reasonably priced. I had my TKTalkie case printed at 3dhubs. Pointed me to a local printer and I picked it up the next day.

Disregard previous post.... I read back and did mostly what lerxstrulz did in the TKCONFIG file except changed a few lines for my setup. I think my volume knob is not connected to the board well enough so I had to bypass it using the volume command in the text file. Here's my current config: TKTalkie v2.0 www.tktalkie.com [volume=0.5500] # sound to play when TKTalkie is started [startup=STARTUP.WAV] # chatter loop settings [loop=CHATTER.WAV] # 0 to 32767, 1 is pass-thru, below 1 attenuates signal [loop_gain=7.0000] # VOICE SETTINGS # 0 to 32767, 1 is pass-thru, below 1 attenuates signal [voice_gain=2.0000] [voice_start=0.1868] [voice_stop=0.020] [silence_time=350] # PTT (Push-To-Talk) SETTINGS [button_pin=2] [button_click=BUTTON.WAV] # 0 to 32767, 1 is pass-thru, below 1 attenuates signal [button_gain=1.0000] # MICROPHONE/LINE-IN SETTINGS # input settings (1 = microphone, 0 = line-in) [input=1] # 0 to 63 [mic_gain=5] # SOUND EFFECTS (STATIC BURSTS, ETC.) # 0 to 32767, 1 is pass-thru, below 1 attenuates signal [effects_gain=7.0000] # EQUALIZER SETTINGS # 0 = flat (none, 1 = parametric, 2 = bass/treble, 3 = graphic [eq=3] # for parametric/graphic = 5 bands, for bass/treble = 3 bands # bands are low to high: -1 (-11.75dB to 1 +12dB) [eq_bands=-1.00,0.00,1.00,0.00,-1.00] # BITCRUSHER SETTINGS - VOCAL EFFECTS # Format = bits1,rate1,bits2,rate2 # Set to 16,41000,16,41000 to just pass-thru (disable) [bitcrushers=12,16384,10,10240] # PINK NOISE GENERATOR # 0 to 32767, 1 is pass-thru, below 1 attenuates signal [noise_gain=0.5000] [debug=1] Demo time:

I can't figure it out. I increased the effects gain up to 100 and play the startup wave file and it's a tad louder but sounds really grainy and no where near the levels my iCOMM produce. It can't be my amp because it pushes volume plenty loud thru my hovi speakers. I haven't even bothered messing with speaking thru my mic yet until I figure this out you won't be able to hear me. Hoping someone else using Tony's hovi speakers and Amp2 option attempts this so we can get this working.

Gotcha! This is still such an awesome project. If only I could bring my stuff to work......

So cool seeing things people come up with. I have v2 installed and I noticed I can change all the settings. Just need the time. We are slowly moving a mile down the road and should be done by the weekend hopefully! One thing I noticed when I did play with it, is there a way to confirm the teensy is using the text file settings instead of the compiled code?

I'm in the middle of a house move so hopefully in a week I'll have my workspace set back up. I think the volume knob may be the issue or I'll have to cave and start using a Anker speaker instead of hovi tip speakers.

I used 3.5 HDD screws I had laying around at work. Just had to drill the holes a tad larger. <br><br> The problem I have right now is I can hardly hear it coming out my hovi tip speakers. I'm not sure if it's because I still have the teensy plugged into my laptop for power or there's something in the settings. My mic is plugged into 3.5mm I added on the teensy. On board out is connected mic on Ukswrath's amp2, and hovi connected to speaker on amp 2. The teensy volume is turned all the way as well as amp2.

I got the v2 case printed thru 3D hubs for $13. Not bad. Looking forward to getting everything in the mail this week. This will be installed in my helmet and used with my hovi tip speakers.

Anyone with a 3d printer offering cases?

I FINALLY ordered my kit and hope to have it next week. Looking forward to the added capabilities and less room taken up inside my helmet by the iCOMM. I run everything inside my helmet minus the power supply so space is at a premium.

Looks like I will need to add another branch from the 5v that supplies the fans to power the teensy. Easy enough.... Did you ever plan on doing anything with the spare line, the Green and Gray?

Last I checked Tony uses the RomFX setup like you said. I use his setup with the Amp2 + iComm and a larger Anrigravity though. Works great although I may replace the iComm with a teensy setup to have more control over the sound effects

I need to take a photo of my bucket for you guys and share. I've come a long way lol. I own just about all of Tony's creations. If you haven't checked out his Gen 4 electronics thread, do so! Pretty rad to just run a cat5e cable to my chest and power everything up all day with no worries. Only difference was I opted for the bigger power supply.

I have Joseph's hand guards glued with E6000 on my Amazon bought nomex flight gloves. I wear them every troop as the chemical gloves are way too hot. I'll never use the ABS guards.

No more SQL errors on my end. I'll add the items to my excel spreadsheet of things to buy

Can someone post the part lists? The tutorial website appears to have a bunch of SQL errors. Edit: If you get the board with the pins pre soldered do you still need the socket and header? 1 of each?
