cheers chrisb
HI ALL just a small update today on that gun fire an gun flash unit an i wired it up right how the diogram shows an volay it all works ok even though to me it was all back to front but like everyone im still learning on this eletronics its a crazy layout bit its all ok 
Well Chris, that's another hurdle you've overcome. I'm glad it's sorted. You're another step closer to sailing this masterpiece of a model.
A beauty. Good luck w/the 'tronics'.
Who's a clever old stick then.
HI Jim yes im very happy at get that goin but it was only a breadboard wireung layout getting it to fit in the ship is goin to be another thing but ive looked in both hulls an yes i have enough wires goin through the hull jiont to make it all go as ive been studyin how all this will happen but dint take it too seirous till i got it working ATB
Chrisb
AN Cheers PaulE yes im goin to need it as the bits with the leds was the bit that was confusein me but the gent who made it for me told me something i dint know at when i first got this unit but had a good read of his email an i now understand a bit thats it the unit that flashes the leds by negative Aaaaaacccchh
as a neg is normally just a return wire to the unit
CHEERS for stoppin
chrisb
HI Scottie i'll think im clever when its all in the ship an goin but the clever person is not me but the gent who built it for me now he's the one with the brains not me but as i said above its that unit i think its got a CPU unit ( centrall proccoser unit ) in it as that what looks like to me an its the blue unit an that the clever bit an thats what was confusein me as it is the unit to work the leds guns flash leftan right guns an i dont think i will have the small guns in the small turret working as one has broken down as the wires are as thin as human hairs an they brake very easy soit will be just the big guns that will flash min you the small turret will still train an guns elevate so all is not lost AN A SHOT inside the gun unit an i havnt the foggeist whats in there exscept for the CPU
AN I SPOT a heat sink an a 500 mlampfuse but the rest well ..............

AN HI Rick boyo well yes first go i suppoce but ive been studyin the wirein diagram for days but when i came to think in my head how to wire it up well i got in a right muddle in my thoughts an was even dreamin about switchin it on an there bein a big bang lol as the wirein is in my opinion crazy as its doin things that to me dont seem right but that eletronics for you as one major point with eletrics as ive found out to my cost is that eletric will always take the shortest route back to negative an hence there will be a short circut an watchin it all go up in smoke as ive seen this happen on other peoples models hence havin a right amperage fuse fitted inlineAnd you did it on the first go around.......how 'bout a live fire demonstration?:thumb2:
ANYWAY ENOUGH OF ME RABBITIT ON

CHRISB
an sorry Rick but i cant do a vid so you will just have to beleive me on the gun sound but it sounds great but hang on a mo an here is the gun soun firein
chrisb
AN THANK YOU Andy yes as i have said im very pleased as to see how this unit will fit in tiger its a prolem what with all the other wireing so i will have to really concentrate an think what im doin an what wire goes where an im busy at putting my norfolk in a model show over the wk end so it will be nxt wk before i can start an ive also got to modyfi the deck where the back funnell sits to take another spk so more cutting an fittin in a grill so the sound can travel out an thanks for stoppinan havin a look see
chrisb
Well done Chris, you can put the fire extinguisher away!@
cheers Boyo as yes i was very worried about turning this on as its not nice seein a lot of that gents work an exspence go up in smoke but thank goodness he knows more than me as i was goin to wire it up how i think it should have been done an i told him by email that it all worked ok an that i was eatin a lot of humble pie an he laughed an said there was no need as if i read the email rightly it would have worked on how i was goin to wire it up so it could have gone either way boy oh boy ive had bad dreams over this but dont tell MATRON
LOL
CHRISB
YES HI Rick yes the real guns on tiger were auto fire every two seconds or so so the gent has programed the CPU unit to fire every 2 secs an yes i'll have a blasting time with them guns shooting at my m8's boats but not at any birds as i dont want to upset the wildlife but there is never much on there anyway once we had a swan try a take up residence on the pond but the RSPCA came an took it away but fitstly ive got to work out how i'll fit it in tiger goin to be a fair amount of work i think BUT GOIN TO BE A BLAST LOLWow Chris, that's rapid firepower.....as Andy said it'll probably keep the ducks away from the pond when you are out boating with your M8s. :smiling5:
CHEERS FOR STOPPIN BOYO

HI Garry yes ive got it now worked out in my mind now on the wirein it up but still dont really understand how this all works from that gun fire unit but i suppose i will just have to accept that it does work but thats eletronics for you but now the hard part begins this wk an thats tryin to wire it all in the ship an get it workin an will have to have a good think on what the best way to go about it an but will see how i go
ANY more pics from the I/D drydock ?
