    5v box mod question

    Robert that is extra solder you are seeing on that connection. It is actually on fairly well about an eight of an inch in the connector. I know it's not pretty, but I'm not going to heat shrink and clean up until I can get it to work. No since in it if I can't get it to work. I'll disconnect it...

    I have a flashlight that takes 3 AA batteries (the magnum flashlight) could I just stick these in with one AA and see if they work or would they damage the flashlight.

    5v box mod question

    That is a bad pic. I actually bent the pins so they on on a different level. Kinda hard to tell by a 2d pic. I can assure you there are no wires touching that shouldn't be. It may not be pretty, but believe it or not I've actually done a lot of soldering. Back in the old days of soldering jtags...

    5v box mod question

    Well I put them both in the charger one at a time. One stayed green, while the other went red. Maybe one side of my charger doesn't work, and it never got charged. I'll report back when the light goes green.

    5v box mod question

    I'm testing from the inside of the box I hope that is what you mean. When I test without the atty I get 5.8v. The difference I believe is the cheap meter. BUT with the atty atached I get nothing. Not sure why.

    To be honest I'm using a cheap harbor freight multi so I'm not sure on the voltage but it seems to be there the numbers are just weird. this morning they seemed right but not now.

    5v box mod question

    I understand the ti part is better, but I don't have any right now (hopefully be here today.) Is this part not going to work? I just don't understand why it would work before I charged the batteries, but not now.

    5v box mod question

    OK I built this using a rat shack LM7805c. For some reason I can't get 5v coming out of the resistor. Coming in I get 7.7v coming out I only get 2.7v. I have no idea why. Everything seems to be wired right. Can someone think of a reason for this? It won't run the atty at all. The weird thing is...

    Sale For Christmas 510 sale!!!!

    Its not generic? If it has the Janty logo on it you should probably put that in the description. If not its the generic version. Same thing just no logo (hince generic.) Also I have only seen this in a kit never by itself. So I was comparing apples to apples.
