you didn't do anything unless you show us some pictures.
and, Nico! this is really one of the best looking mods ive seen yet!
Quoted from Bubo's link above;
Id like to tank you guys for all your help on this one DenniZ, BigBlue30, WillyB, Hova, Nicotime and Scubabatdan This is more of a Proof of Concept that I could actually do this and not solder my fingers to the board..
(Actually did pretty well too, if I say so myself!
The PV isnt Safetyd with shrink wrap, or glued down I am going to be working some more on it . The switch is from Radio Shack, and a bit too long for the AAA boxs height so I drilled out a washer to ½ and shimmed it out (Still a bit tall, the contacts hit the cover)
It took a lot longer than I expected for two reasons the washer took forever, and once it was ready to fire up it didnt. It took me about three hours to figure out that the battery boxes positive terminals werent making full contact with the batteries. I could get good readings, but it would not fire. Once I realized that, I beat the hell out of them with a hammer and nail punch (I was a bit frustrated at that point!)
Anyway, thanks again guys!

Hope you dont mind me coping it to here Bubo...your link goes to the beginning of that thread. Excellent job...nice and clean..
Now you are officially hook...NO...put that toaster down!!!
and Thanks..but I get a lot of help from these guys too...thats the cool thing about this stuff is everyone is learning off each other in a mostly unknown field.
Yeah I would build up some glue or epoxy around the atty connector for sure because those boxes like to flex a lot breaking the connector loose.
Thanks D...you have been doing well yourself...been keeping an eye on your work just not much time to play.

I didn't want to cross post with the big pics and all.... (Yes, MisterD, I know - no pictures, it didn't happen!)
I superglued the atty connector, it seems to hold up 'fairly' well, if you don't gank on it too much... (As evidenced by the already missing green micro wire on the aty!)
