  1. today i changed the front speaker with this one, 2w 8ohm

    the loudness is almost like the old one and the quality is much better because of wider range of frequencies (170 hz -20 khz)

     

    Edit: this speaker has issues with the mini-amp, had to remove and put back the old speaker!

    so i got the chance to take some pictures of the weapon, battled-damaged after 2 war-events :D

  2. Hi Manuel!

     

    I am interested in purchasing an Arduino for my Blaster, but ... is it possible to somehow adapt to SDS?

     

    Thanks and greetings from Spain ;)

    i don't think u can use the sds blaster with arduino+mp3 board+speakers, there is not enought space; also the mp3 board need some extra millimeters in the hengstler counter as well the battery inside the receiver. This project fit a pvc/metal pipe blaster with a custom hengestler and receiver.

     

    It may be a hi-bright led, you make be able to get a duller one or even add a resister to the led to reduce the power to it :duim:

    you are right, i can also decrease the brightness via arduino but i think it will absorb the same energy and it's not very efficient that way (as well adding a resistor). If i dont' need that light it's better to change the led. So first i will test moving the led and adding a cover, after that i will decide..
  3. today i tested for the first time the blaster with arduino in a big event here in Rome (Romics). It was amazing. So many sounds, so much fun. The battery Phottix Lp-e8 lasted around 7 hours of massive use, that means with a spare battery it will last a full day event.

     

    these 2 shots show the blaster in action (was me and a friend from rebel legion), soon i will post a review video.

  4. i understand why the paint is not yet dry but still sticky: it's a water based acrylic paint, that's the problem. But i couldn't find any other satin black spray than this. :( i hate when big store have anything but not the thing you are looking for. I think i am going to order on internet.

     

    p.s.

    had to remove all the paint because of it. :( a lot of work

     

    Now i painted again with a matte black NOT WATER BASED paint, mixing a bit with the grey metal background

  5. as expected, it was not easy to fit the cables inside, mostly because the speakers fit exactly the inner pvc pipe without gaps, so don't leave much space for placing wires.

     

    but i did it :)

    everything is working 100%

     

    now i should give another coat of paint to cover the colored cables, paint the handle grip, add the vent rails (i have the rubber ones), and it's ready fro Romics event at end of month

     

    Arduino inside ;)

  6. Love quick drying primer, now a bit of silver and bronze, black tomorrow :D

    i am also in painting phase

    painted silver, and now the satin black

    i never used the satin black, it was also quite hard to find (and expensive :( 8 euro!) but i really like this color, gives so close the metal look.

    when dry, the hand grip will be painted glossy black (as for the scope).
