Another change in plan, either same type of relay but in 3v. Getting to many components for my likes, or 5 volt trip wire laser. Either way it will get rid of the resistor for drop down voltage and the having to increase voltage for signal trip.
One small circuit and wires as opposed to 2 small circuits and resistor,sounds less likey to cause issues. Try find the 5v laser first, like the idea of running strait from standard power bank and 5v LEDs are brighter. ]]> Tue, 22 Oct 2024 10:23:02 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11199#11199 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11176#11176 Author: kruzaroad

You lost me ages ago...
But you seem to know what your doing, so keep going. Will be interesting to see it all in action soon.]]> Sun, 20 Oct 2024 17:17:05 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11175#11175 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11167#11167 Author: kruzaroad

That works out well.
Turns out your standard phone charging power bank battery puts out 5v.
So USB from the power bank to timer relay is plug in. That powers up relay.
From 2nd USB port on power bank,run a wire to com (common) on relay, and one from com to negitive on light.
The positive goes from battery to no (normally open) and no to positive on light.
That gave me light on for the length of the timer.
So was stoked with that.
Next will be add 2nd power wire from the 2nd USB port on the power bank to the positive on the laser and the laser receiver. A resistor that goes from 5v to 3v on both laser and reciever wires,after I split the wire coming from battery.
Then both of those will have their negitive run back to com.
From the alarm connection for the speaker it has, I'll get a step up circit from 3v to 5v, wire to that then from that to the trip connector on the relay.
That's the theory.
There is a nc (normally closed) connection as well. From what I can work out, nc runs power till switch trips then it goes to no. So I may be able to wire laser and reciever into that. That could power the laser reciever then switch it off while light is on. Will see.
The USB plug popped off the first relay,so seeing if that glues back on. Brought a spare so that was good.

Pauly,
I'm just winging it.
All I know is,I want a laser to send a signal to a timer, the timer to trip a light for 20sec then reset
If I can get it all 5volt for laser an circit, I cut down on stuff.
Everything else I'm s of rting as I go.

Laser trip arrived.
Pretty much all I need are the 4 pieces below the green block and the block.
The round bit to the left is the alarm speaker which isn't going on,and I'm planning on tapping into it's power activion, as power ro trip the timer.
There's a 5v power out on timer switch which I'll tap into for power. I'll either run a couple of resistors which will drop it to 3.3v for feed in. Or go into the shop with the parts and ask if I they have them in 5v.
Which saves adding stuff.]]> Fri, 18 Oct 2024 10:27:25 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11149#11149 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11127#11127 Author: kruzaroad

Sweet the timer/reset switch arrived. It's way smaller than I expected. Which is awesome. Brought two of them, so had one spare.
22 bucks delivered for both.
That's 32 bucks so far.
Cheers Pauly for pointing those out.
Appreciated

That's sweet metal parts for new trip, 10 bucks. Happy with that.
Hopefully someone with a bit more electronic experiance can help me with the laser side or me the soldering and a list of swear words that would make ya mum turn red will have to have a crack at it. With my soldering skills might have a chance but can see me overheating components. ]]> Thu, 10 Oct 2024 08:05:21 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=11016#11016 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=10953#10953 Author: kruzaroad

Well been doing a few measurements and calculations.
Recon I'll drop this right down in size.
Been looking at diy laser trips on Web. Seems a laser pointer and few bits and bobs make a laser trip at 5v quite simply.
Still beyond me, so ill see about getting one made up.
But the paper work looks promising. ]]> Mon, 07 Oct 2024 07:08:59 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1061&PID=10953#10953
