Supporters Sitting Duck Posted January 18, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 18, 2021 plug n play mosfets do not protect the trigger contacts from arcing Avacado, Burst Wizard are two of the older plug n play mosfets (need a fucking mensa test to get ya around programming the sods though) but did not protect trigger contacts in plug n play mode the Burst Wizard could be used as plug/play and also hard wired in by adding the signal wire THEN it protected the contacts properly depends on what you after fancy feature bollox or contact protection... https://www.airsoftworld.net/airsoft-gun-spare-parts/aeg-spares/internal-parts-1/mosfets the £11 perun will suffice for basic mosfet - but it is FUCKING TINY or for cheap make-do contact protection you could just add a diode to reduce the spark from EMF inductive load from motor the big fuck off spark like a spark plug isn't when the contact is made but mostly when the switch opens again and the massive spike appears as the switch opens - from the energy/zap from motor (really freaky scientific/physics shit we didn't take note of at school) or you can call it a fancy fucking name SLE bollox Switch Life Extender - cheeky bastids it's a diode ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misery Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 was more for the jam protection i was gonna throw it in ther but will go the hard wired route on it when something breaks and have a reason to open her up as really dont fancy trying to add a diode lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted January 18, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 18, 2021 Diode is easy on a cheap std motor with tabs at sides it is other motor types like G&G/SHS you might need to careful of std Cyma motors have tabs at sides - so a schottky diode is no biggy but yup - what until stuff breaks or really need to open her up = wise decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misery Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 i think its just more my confidence with electrics tbh than it actualy being hard lol ive alwasy been daunted by wireing for some reason but have never actualy messed up on anything ive had to do from sorting led indicators and splicing into main wiring harnes to fit an alarm or to rewiring the led controller for my aio on my pc lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted January 18, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 18, 2021 like many things - the more you practice etc... but soldering/teching - basically anything like this is like riding a bike - not so much you don't forget it but more learning to ride a bike for first time you can read all this crap & watch all the YT clips but in the end you gotta just have a go and pedal like fuck as you wibble wobble your way through life figuring shit out hopefully not falling arse over tit too often armed with a little idea of what to do then it's a matter of keeping at it I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted January 18, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 18, 2021 soldering is a fun one, at the risk of getting flamed whatever you do don't ask an electronic engineer anything about it. because it'll be "you gotta have a 300w temperature controlled iron with adjustable tips and you've gotta use xxx type of solder with yyy type of flux and don't use those sponge things use the brillo pad instead for cleaning because the tips will last longer" or you could do hamsters patent redneck method using the 40w fixed iron that came with the real robots magazine from the 90's and the cheapest ass solder you can get on amazon, get some solder on the wire, blob of solder on the contact, then melt them 2 suckers together, just don't forget to put the heatshrink on first.... just a shame it's not a v3 box- external contacts.

Misery Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 haha my trusty irons a £25 ebay 200w adjustable jobby that i use a med/fat tip *only cause i used the other tips as punch for getting a link out on my bikes chain when my chain tool broke* lol but it works and has soldered some decent gauge wire aswell haha ahh yes the heat shrink first amount of times ive had to desolder and resolder cause of that loool!!!
