hey Planning on ordering some relays and relay timer wondering how many ill need to got with the same setup as you?

1X knocker - relay

1X Gear motor -relay

1X Shaker motor - relay timer

1X Strobe- ??? (what would i need to drive this)

I also notice on your spreadsheet you had shaker motor 2X???

[chriz99]

for my setup you need

knocker - 1x blue standard relay

gearmotor - 1x blue standard relay

shakermotor - 1x blue standard relay AND 1x grey timer relay (off-delay)

strobe: 1x blue standard relay AND 1x grey timer relay (off-delay)

at the moment you can only set S, L or W to an ledwiz output, but we are working on mixing S/L/W. so you need only 1 ledwiz output for shaker.

Hi Chris,

Would it not be a good idea to design some sort of standard switch board for the interface ?

What i am thinking of is this:

3 or 4 type of boards with 6 channels each.

- first board switches 6 channels of 12 volts up to 1 amp or so by transistor

- second board same as first board, but with build in adjustable electronic timers (555) an max 1 amp

- third and fourth board basic the same as first and second, but uses board relays for higher amp switching

Maybe the design of boards 1-2 and 3-4 could be basicly the same, only with or without the timer element. Board 3-4 would be capable of switching high voltage (110~220v).

[chriz99]

yes, that sounds very interesting. can you make a proto-board for testing?

we talked also about realizing a timer/strobo function via ledwiz/code and klaus is working on a pwm-board either (to drive the shaker with various intensity). maybe it works, maybe not let's do some pioneering and we'll see what the future brings.

I think for the meantime the plug and play relays are a good and working opportunity.

Hey guys, can someone doing a full cab setup like this let me know what colors/lengths/spools of wire they bought for the project? I'm at that point to start wiring things to switches and wanted to get what's best.

Thanks!

I use AWG25 / 0.5mm diameter wire in various colors, check ebay for prices, there should be cheap 50-100m rolls

[gbeef]

Any chance you would have the product numbers on those 2 relays?

Be carefull with the using 555 timers. I built a board using 555 timers and had over sensing due to EM from the relays. The circuits needs to placed far from the relays. Perhaps in the top part of the cab.

little update

little update

Is there no other way then using this very large resistors ??

BTW, i wil check for a prototype of the generic switch boards, but my electronics supplier is moving, so it will have to wait a bit.

[chriz99]

those aluminium heatsink resistors are really oversized for 12v power-led usage, but i got it for an excellent price at ebay so no harm in using

you can also try 9-11watt resistors via 12v or 5watt resistors via 5v to drive the cree leds.

good news about the prototype. can't wait to see it finished

[hicks100]

yeah i was gonna go with a 5v supply for my crees when they turn up.

The resistors should be way smaller then.

who wants to be on page 100?

[shilmover]

oh, pick me!

Edit: Woo Hoo!!! What do I win? Chris, I can send you my address so that you can send me a shaker motor as a thank you...

EDIT: first prize for post #1000 is h4ck3rs hypno dog (aka eyeball led mod) LOL

I met that dog when I was over at h4ck3r's place.

That LED mod is killer!

[pixelmagic]

Do i see this good, do you have a visible metal bracket of the lcd tv ??

Time to fix that then, i used black electical tape with my 17" monitor, worked like a charm !

[shilmover]

That's h4ck3r's cab. I've seen it in person (mine is based on his as he got me hooked! Bastard! ) and no metal visible when the glass and rails are on.

I may have missed it in the almost 1000 posts of this thread, but has anyone come up with a supplier for a similar affordable shaker motor in the US?

** Love the LED mod on the dog!! ;-)

Its called a "bumble ball" Thats what im going to use

[gbeef]

You adding 2 more lights Chris?

[chriz99]

yes, I will add 2 more flashers on the backbox. lets see how it works

one more 999

Yay, 1000!!! Love your pin chriz!
