Tankhobby's IR system
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 6:41 pm
Well, here it is! I finally go around to doing the review/how-to that I promised all those weeks ago!
Nicks' system is intended to be used with a comercial Tx/Rx setup, so don't expect to make it talk to a HL board - In therory you could use the airsoft input to trigger the unit, but I'd check with Nick before you attempt that...
Available here: http://home.comcast.net/~chioc/
Cost: ~$100 with a sound card (not shown on his page at the moment)
Kit consists of the following:
Fully assembled control board with system reset switch.
Fully assembled Detector board and cable (no cover as of yet - I sent to the Blitz to for him to work his magic on).
Fully assembled firing trigger board (optional, can be replaced with a switch if used for a static item like a AT gun).
Fully assembled sound card.
5mm Flash LED and cable.
5mm IR LED and cable.
The control board has additional connections for an optional shutdown relay and a Tamiya TBU if you don't want to use the supplied detector board.
