  1. I just finished soldering and testing everything and its working GREAT !!! I have 2 questions:

     

    1- How do I setup the minimum time the Teensie waits before turning the mic channel on ? I will start talking and it takes about half a second to turn on the speaker, so my first word comes from my helmet, not my aker.

     

    2- I don't understand how to properly wire the PTT. you are talking about pin 0,1 or 2. Do I choose any of these 3 pins for one wire and where do I take my voltage from ? Would you have a quick sketch ?

     

    Thanks again

  2. Everything is fine tuned and working like a champ. Added padding per ukswrath, adjusted mic sensitivity per lerxstrulz, added pots for fan control, added individual switches to power each fan, fans converted to usb power on the old power pack instead of the AA battery pack, and the new usb battery arrived to power the TK Talkie... WHEW! Do I have a lot of wires to clean up!

     

    Thanks all. This has been great!

     Pictures pictures !! We want pictures !!

  3. Hi ! I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this but feel free to move it if needed.

     

    I was wondering when I will be issued my EIB certificate. The topic thread as been closed for the last 6 months and the elections are now over and no one took over. I would be more than happy to help out if no one wants to take care of issuing certificate to the members who worked hard on improving the level of accuracy.

  4. Woo! I made it through all 48 pages. Glad I did, as a lot of the questions I had were answered. On the shorter side at 5'7", 160-ish pounds, I think that I've determined AP would be a good option for my first build--I'm hoping for a sandtrooper that I want to get to level 3/SWAT approval and start trooping. I emailed Mark a few days ago through a link on TK409's webpage. I keep getting returned-undeliverable emails from Chris (TK409, copied on the email link) but haven't heard anything yet from Mark. Hopefully my email went through to him and I hear something soon, as I'd like to get in line for my order. I might also contact some of the other builders that have been mentioned just for my due diligence on pricing and availability. I've been a fan of the 501st for years and really want to get involved ASAP. Thanks for this site and the wealth of info. I have a friend that built a TK years ago before resources like this were available and he had to do a LOT of work to find stuff. This is way easier.

    Get in touch with ABS80 (member here) for your AP kit

  5. We will find out once it's all put together. I'll probably use PVC for the barrel rather than printing since that'll be the weakest large part.

     

    PVC barrel sounds great but I wonder if all the printed parts that go on the barrel will need adjustment  ?

  6. Thanks Tony, I do have an aker unit also. Point 1 works good. Point 2 does not trigger with a magnet at 20k but when I switch the DVOM to 200 Ohms instead, I get the tiny LED light to light up when I approach a magnet, the reading breefly changes and goes back to 0 even if the switch is still triggered by the magnet. When I tried with the aker and icomm, the led light goes up on the switch but the channel doesn't open. Would I need to add a load to the reed switch ?
