Quick update, looks like the github page will be set public sometime this weekend. Everything is working smoothly for me and the other collaborators and testers. I quickly added a gb2 mode toggle for the pack in the code so it plays gb2 pack sounds instead, and redid the cyclotron leds, so they have a fade effect, which can be turned off or adjusted by the user in the code as well. I just finish test fitting a inner cyclotron stl i quickly made up and it fits, it will be included as well for people to print.

Truly phenomenal work!! I'm lucky that I can solder, but you have completely redone the electronics and made a "working" inner cyclotron. Color me impressed.

Here, you... you earned it :crunch:

Hi gpstar,

after doing a lot of reserch, i have noticed that in afterlife, the led near the vent it's light up when the gun it's on.

Prior to this research, I had focused on the backpack test scene, I have now rewatched all the scenes where the backpack appears and I noticed that both on phoebe's gun and on Rey, Winstone and Peter's, that light goes on and stays on.

Forgive me if i didn't notice it sooner, but every time i watch that scene i cry like a baby.

I don't know why at the beginning of the film that light isn't on and then yes, maybe they changed something along the way.
Initially I thought it was the sunlight during the test that did not allow to see the led on but then I checked during the scene inside the shed and it was off there too.

have a nice day

Ok thanks for the info.

I am just finishing up last bugs before setting the repository public, then I will get back onto the 84 mode wand mods after that.

HOORAY! Congratulations and thank you opportunity to beta test and assist. I’m in awe of the work by this community at large and very happy to contribute whatever I could to the cause. The undertaking to get the software to the state it’s at was no small feat by you and I am so happy with all the features that have been baked into this from the start. My pack is now everything I had hoped for from Hasbro, as now it is truly a modder’s paradise.

Heya guys. Fantastic work getting this refined into a working system that can be modded to taste.
I was going through the BoM from the Git again tonight, and noticed that there is no mention of amps or speakers. The schematics don't show them either.
I watched JustinDustin's video, and he mentions running a separate amp from the WAV Trigger in the pack. Can we get that added to the Git info as an option? I heard that the wand speaker is running directly off of the WavTrigger, but I'm interested in what was used on the pack side and how that was wired.

In my setup I am running the stock Hasbro wand speaker off the Wav Trigger onboard mono amp (the speaker +/- pins on the the board). In the pack I am using a 12V amp with 2x 4" speakers from the 3.5mm stereo jack on the Wav Trigger.

JustinDustin has just added a sound page on the site, which should have all the answers you seek.

like this: https://www.amazon.com/500pcs-5mm-Angle ... B00JEGVSE8 (just for example)

to power this led, i suggest you to replace the original 3 cable flat with a 5 cable flat (better if it's light grey) and run the 2 more cable on top of the led bar and fix the led at the end of the bar.
something like this

Ok. I will use a wide angle flat top white led.
Starting to get around to this. Here is what a wide angle flat top LED looks like in a cut opened flash bulb.


Here is what it's like running a wire along the inside of the Wand Barrel LEDs. As long as the wire is on the edge and not overlapping the LEDs, it should be ok.


Now to find a mounting solution for the flash bulb and last LED.

Doing some test fitting, I am thinking of cutting off the end of the led strip that is unused, then 3d printing a spacer to go on the end of the strip which sits on the end of the inner white tube. That spacer then will hold the flash bulb with the flat top led in it. The little mounting spacer for holding the bulb then will hopefully be hidden underneath the ring on the end of the tube.
