i forgot to add the selector ball valves and the chamber select switches, but those are easy to add. and you can picture them, and because im a perfectionist, il probably fix it. anyway, heres a link, but keep this page open cuz youll need the legend below http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQCFA!AWkWVxJNu4!HUm2cfD!GpO!wWgMdAedQj0EVfNhYXbaASY8cLnwILIreL0UW95!MdAIaxhEMyEd6yVPX!mnc9jHUl8modZpu6LKg4VwkYeZklTHA/onetrigger.JPG?dc=4675421492303148695 i know its a big link, nut thats all 1 link. msn has this "thing" about being secure. i dont mind, but its a pain to post links. anyway, heres the legend dark gray tube (box) is the cannon barrel brown boxes are the sprinkler valves purple boxes are pressure chambers teal boxes are pressure sensors/switches blue box-lines are air hoses tan boxes are regulators black boxes are 9v batteries yellow box is the trigger frame green circle is the "fire/armed" led red is the "charging/low" led red lines are main wiring black lines are alternate-switched by the pressure switch, when low, to activate the red led a couple reasons why i did what i did: batteries all over the place!!! ok, in the hand grip, there is 1 or 2 (dunno) batteries but either way, there will be 2 or 3 directly attached to it, connecting based on whether the trigger is pulled or not. 28v is required to trip the valve so im told, im also told that 27 will do just fine. thats 3 9v batteries. however to get the leds to work, there needs to be a full circuit at all times. so i bypassed the trigger with a 9v powersource. this gave me enough to power the led (or 50, lol) but not trigger the cannon untill piggybacked with the triggerframes' batteries. any questions or problems, lemme know!! i want it to work, not for me to look cool. well see how cool i am based on my ability to use it, lol. also, the red led has its own battery cuz its on its own circuit, pretty much, and has no other power source when its supposed to be lit. i think i will have a pressure gauge for each chamber too, mounted on a flexable hose, to go from the chamber to within a readable distance from the gunner, instead of just having the "dummy" light. anyway, i think thats it for now, see you guys later! -Peter
