Hehe i sure hope so... I mentioned it to a game site i go to and he said you can take everyone else on single handidly in that lol.
I'm working on an armour/suit high tech design to go with it also. I drew this a few weeks ago now and it wasnt 100% finished but its the idea. Looking in to ideas and hardware to kit it out with so ideas all welcome
.
Basically as its going to be a support gun i think im going to need extra battery packs. I'm thinking on that Lipo idea now along with standard ones and actualy not having Battery packs as such... More like Power Packs. I'm starting to thin about housing a chunk of electronics and battery cells all within a custom powercel shell with a Conector on the end that would allow fast change overs for ingame if i have spares with me.
The arour idea is to use airsoft/molle parts/ Flight and Motocross armour parts along with a few others, and basically modding them all and fitting them together.
Here is the concept. Go easy its not very good, drew late at night and it was a few weeks ago lol. So far you can see the helmet cam idea.but trying to work out some other ideas to pimp it up and give me and obscene advantage..
Motion tracking, IR positioning
Radar, Site Map uploaded to GPS with mission locations locked in...Sound triangulation for enemy positions..... Yea i wish..
Also Good shout on the electronics.

You will have to be able to disconnect every cell past 8.4v to charge your pack, because using only say 7 cells in a 10 cells pack, you will get a different discharge in your first 7 cells, and charging the pack as a whole will destroy the remaining 3 cells in under 20 charges.
********
Yea that was the idea i had in mind but yea i see where your coming from on the different discharge rates. Using resistors i guess wastes power overall but it would probably keep the batery overall in a better condition.
********
Plus, if you start looking into C programing, you will see that the changes you have to do to the trigger master program are not that big.
********
Have you done any work with the trigger master? I did wonder about teh possibility of adding to the programming on this for other functions on the gun.

You can use a multi switch, like the ones on old sound systems to change input/output. Wire each switch with a different resistor and compare each voltage with the PIC. You only need to use 1 analog input on top of the regular digital input used normally.
You could even use a potentiometer and simply use it as a PWM control over the PIC's output. That way you could control percentage instead of steps.

More interesting ideas there... Thats good, i like having more ideas thrown about... It helps prevent expensive mistakes
and generlaly shows better ways of doing things!
