My new RF Light

Goodness, is that all the footprint is? So small..
Can you show some better pictures?

OOOOOO......... Blinky
Looks good mate, i'd love to have one in my helm when I get it and it looks like youve nailed the circuit. Lets see it in that lovely FP rf then
Welsh

here are some better fotos.you see everything is mini :-) tomorrow i cut the long wires away and fix it in the rf.but i am looking for a battery holder for that little batteries.
if there are more people i can make a little run.

Regarding battery boxes/holders, does this help?

i wouldnt even bother using a holder i would use some velcro to hold the battery in place and have connectors taped to the battery less used space

What's going on under that glue?

I'm working on a new rangefinder circuit using a micro controller, to make things more compact.

But the guts of your circuit are tiny!

i think smaller than mine ist not possible :-)
i completed it today and make pics of the ready one later

here is a video at night,but the qualitiy is not so good because it is only with my handy cam made.

i decide not to use a battery holder and to make it like Fett 4 Real says,the holder takes to much space.
if you built it in you can paint it black( like the stones :-D ) so you didn´t see the wires and so through the rf window.


i hope you understand my english :-)

Here are the last pictures of the final version.










i have brazed the wires to the battery as you see,its perfectly.the small black thing is the angle sensor.now i paint it all black,so you don´t see it behind the window.

and here are 2 little videos:

Anyone know the voltage of the battery for this?

I use a mini 12V battery for this, Rob!

That's what I use on mine, they are £3-£4.

You need a 12v A23 or any of the following numbers(all are the same battery) , E23A , GP23A , LRV08 , MN21 , V23GA

Cool, I might have to get one of these myself. What happens when the battery dies, just solder a new one in?

yes it is very easy to change it

Gday mate - just recieved my leds today, many thanks. My only issue is how to actually get them to work. thought I would post here incase anyone else has had the same issues.. I have included a picture - As im not very tech savvy, i'm not actually sure what to connect what to where, and i'm not actually sure what the green leds are for, for my rangefinder. I have bought a mini 12V battery, but if i attach the two loose wires to it, nothing seems to happen. Any instructions or advice would be hugely appreciated

many thanks

Pic - led kit exactly as I recieved it:

The green leds should go near the clear perspex lens block (altough the Supertrooper Dressing sheet says 2 red and 3 white lamps - LEDs). The actual perspex lens block(s) has 3 indentation on the flat side and the light should light through them.
I presume that you tried the wires both ways with the battery, I mean white wire on + and brown on - and then the white on - and brown on +. If this doesn't work, then it might be an interrupted wire or a short circuit.

All sorted now but many thanks Raf. had tried all the differrent wires etc, but spoke to SalamanderKing, and it is actually more a case of the angle the little black box sits at. That makes all the differrence. As for the green lights, got them sorted too - a small case of making some minor adjustments. Will add some new pics including the new RF to my thread when my bobamaker deluxe RF arrives. Many thanks again m'man!

I´ve just received my RF light, and I can´t wait to install it in my helmet.
