I wonder if I could fit a normally closed Microswitch in the hinge block or something.

how about a limit switch so the light is off when its folded?  I am in the process of putting together my F11 now and want to add electronics, this post has been helpful.

Hi Sean, yes, the component you are aksing about is indeed for the battery charging, a so called Recharge Port. My Stardust and Proto boards contain an on board USB charging device, a different one though from the one you mentioned. Nevertheless looking at the specs of the TP4056 it seems it could be used to charge your Li-Ion battery from USB. No guarantee but it might be worth a try.

 

 

Thanks, Im relatively new to DIY electronics, but the few I have done have used these boards and I have quite a few laying around.  Im gonna order the parts today.

 

Am I missing anything?

 

Arduino

DFPlayer

Speaker

Micro Switches for trigger pulls

Neopixels

I've recently ordered and assembled all the components for Troopduino and it works a treat. Many thanks to Andrew for his tireless assistance!

 

I've chosen to run on 18650 cells and have moved the headphone jack off the board to allow for a case install. 

 

 

Did you need the "Thick film ressitors"? in the BOM?  Im a little confused looking at the read me, can this run with the arduino, DF player, and electret?

Is this board on oshpark?

I think I see now, this is for recharging the battery, Can you use a TP4056 board in its place to charge over micro usb?

roger that, did you mount the anker speaker on your chest somewhere?  I was debating putting the speaker behind the "rebreather" of the FOTK helmet...havent decided yet.

I just finished printing the F11 blaster from T5h and am in post processing/assembly and would like to incororate this kit into it.  My question is what is this part in the schematic? (Tier 2)

 

I plan on using micro limit switches for the button behind the 3d printed triggers, one to change mode, one for fire

I found the board on OSHPark, Can this run with simple 20mm 8ohm speakers?  Id like to mount this with those speakers inside my helmet.  And since Im ordering DF mini players and arduino boards for my blaster build, it would be nice to use some of the left overs for this project.  If I were to do this would another amplifier be required?
