Hi Guys Hve jut got this from Darkith on how to wire the flash to unit
I can think of at least two options: 1. If you don't use the "recoil blocking feature", use the method described here: http://www.joecanestrari.net/led.htm I'd put a 100 ohm resistor in series so you don't have to worry about blowing the LED.
2. If the recoil is powered off the airsoft wires, you could hook the LED up to that, and just blip the stick up. That should be enough to move the motor and trigger the microswitch to power the motor...and when you let the stick drop back to neutral, the LED will go out. Dunno how easy it would be to have a nice short flash though. And again, around a 100 ohm resistor. LED + directly to battery, LED - to airsoft negative drive wire.
seems simple enough to do will get round to it later when I do the electrics fit fan and DBC/DBC.
          Also have Blitz working on a little extra for DBC circuit because I dont use smoke unit when running have asked him if its posble to wire it to DBC/DBU so that when tank is killed the smoke unit goes on pumping smoke through engine covers and extra lights that flash near engine I think this would look effective.

is this the pic your talking of 

Hi Here are the photos of micro-switch this first one is of a bb unit, the next 2 are from the stug the wiring is the same to operate the gun, will show how to do gun flash later still waiting for some more info .But it will be easy to install just need to slide L.E.D. and cable though the gun .It will depend on which type of dbc I fit, if I fit the new type conecting the flash goes to the board, if I fit the older type will need a 5v power supply for flash.

hi pete
          that is a great recoil you done there, thats one of the ways the germans on pk said for me to do it, but i chickened out, i went and bought a tam' recoil, and modified the hl gun and fitted the recoil to that, much the easier route

Hi Tony Its where I got the idea just modified it slightly, when I posted it on RCU putting a link to panzerketten it was deleted ,I put the link in toshow who did the work and give the German guys the credit they deserve for doing it first .

typical of them over there, they like to think they do things 1st and no one else can do what they do, still you never no, rcu might grow up one day, mmm, may be not
