Hmmm....no one is shouting AYE! Perhaps my PhotoBucket account will be non-functioning for now

Ahhhhh...I'm feelin' the love, lol. Thank you, Road Rash, for leading the way and showing others how it's done

Third try to respond

I hope this works....I think the board is not "right" yet.

Ok...I'm still trying to understand how to equate a schematic to how it lines up on a PC board.

So...you would want to hook the switch up to pins 1 & 3. It's the row (on the pcb) that confuses me.

Look at my post #69 in this thread. The N/C switch would go from D-3 (pin 3 or ground) to D-1 (pin 1 or inhibit). This will replace the "fire" switch on the battery line.

Hey..I guessed right. Thanks for the confirmation BigBlue.

Folks who are new to this should know PCB board covers a lot of territory.

You want this, often called 'strip board':

Not this (below):

 

[Bahnzo]

What's the best way to cut the strip board to something useable?

I found a hacksaw with a fine tooth blade works great. I notched the board where I wanted to cut, then braced it against my countertop and sawed away. Probably not the easiest way, but it's what I had.

some members don't get it.

Susie not happy , Big Blue not happy glare: .: LOL

I just score mine with an x-acto type knife three or four times (both sides) and then snap it off... Then rub it on a big ... ....... file to smooth it out...

 

[susie22321]

Road Rash, how right you are! I thought others would take the HINT

**sigh**....apparently not.

You have yourself a great evening, dood!

Next to my soldering iron.... My dremel is my most used tool.....STOP reverse that...My dremel is the most used tool I have for mod'ing.

Ditto on the snapping, but then I attack it with a dremel to tidy up the edges.

Bunch of sissies.

Well,,, I did use a belt sander with 80 grit sandpaper one day on a few (but I didn't want to scare anyone)

View attachment 18073okay i got a 5v regulator from ti, if i wanted to just make a 5v box mod, instead of using these boards i see people using, can i just connect the poss lead from the parrelelled batts to the pin of the regulator to the right and then another wire from the lead all the way to the left that goes to the switch and a negative on the middle to the neg terminal of the batteries? that sounds easier to me.

 

[Justin25]

oops messed up the picture above, heres the new one

 

[o4_srt]

without knowing the specs on the regulator you are using, it's hard to say. Do you have a part number?

Denniz did a great how to. He did not use a board.

I have a question. I mistakenly ordered some N/O switches instead of N/C. But, the schematic below shows how to use a N/O 50ma switch w/a mosfet (which I have). I'm still learning how to equate the schematic to the pc board that bigblue posted as well.

So.....wiring the mosfet in with the pc board:

Take the positive from the battery and wire to switch. Run wire from other switch lead to B2. Take a wire, also from B2 and run it to the mosfet gate.

Negative from battery to mosfet Source and then wire from Drain to B3 on the pcb. (and of course a resistor across the mosfet gate and drain).

Is that correct? I'm feeling kinda stupid right now.......
