The problem was solved in what best way I could - I used R4 to run the strobe. So you did not use the LM3909 N side of the board at all? Nope, she was dead as a doornail. Due to time constraints i had to make the quick fix and button her up. The build has been running behind and wouldnt handle a de...

Weird, I wasnt getting post nitifications.. The problem was solved in what best way I could - I used R4 to run the strobe. I ended up just doing the strobe behind the bridge, so it worked out fine. Due to time constraints the client preferred not to have to wait an extra month, so I went with the qu...

i used the socket.

Yes,

I posted this here too just in case.

Hi all,

I'm just putting this out there,

I plugged in my federation flasher board and had running lights but no strobes.

is it my LM3909?

all connections have been checked and seem solid.

any ideas?

Cleanup is not difficult, I would recommend immersing the tip in water or thinner when it's not going to be immediately used to keep things from clogging up. Nice clean operation, paint flowed smoothly, it feels like a $200 brush. I used to have a badger professional 150, and I like this unit better...

Go to the Auto parts store and purchase a "GROUND CLAMP" take a wooden box and install a block of wood (with holes pre drilled through the wood) inside across the narrow axis. now, thread ground clamp screws through wood and install clamp. Drill hole in top of box, put pipe in, tighten gro...

So I ordered the VETA 130A Double Action Airbrush from ebay, http://shop.ebay.ca/alicegottogo/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 I paid .99 cents for the brush and $19.96 for Shipping. the Airbrush arrived in 2 weeks, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of t...

Discoprise...

lol, no i wont go ludicrous, just a little over the top.

The others have mentioned a lot that will help, but I have to ask, why 60 LED's??? You should only need 10 for lighting windows in the saucer, 4 for lighting the secondary hull windows, 2 for warp engine glow, 2 for impulse glow plus the blinker circuit. So only 18-20 why 60? cuz I'm a wild and cra...

I have two choices for my power supply one is 12V the other is 24V for the 24V i was going to add a time delay fuse, and then a potentiometer to each of the circuits 3V for white 12V for blue and 4.5V for the bussards is there an easier way? am i crazy? (I build elevators, so I get most of the major...

Odd looking ship too, looks like someone welded on a TOS secondary hull to an NX-01 and called it a Refit. Just MHO.

My own design.

So, I ordered my led's off ebay. this is everything I got. 200 x White 5mm LEDs Emitted Colour : White Size (mm) : 5mm Lens Colour : Water Clear Peak Wave Length (nm) : N/A Forward Voltage (V) : 3.2 ~ 3.8 Reverse Current (uA) : <=30 Luminous Intensity Typ Iv (mcd) : Average in 20000 Life Rating : 10...

thank you!

I have several questions, and if anyone could answer in plain english, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I will be lighting my 1:350 NX refit with about 60 LEDs all will be white except for the 8 running lights on a separate blinker circuit (4 green, 4 red) 5 will be spotlights (raytheon effect?) the...
