This kit comes with two circuit boards with a button attached to one and a servo to the other. The boards communicate with each other via a small 2.4ghz chip. When the button is pressed the servo turns 90 degrees up or down depending on the current state.
The helmet part is powered by 4x AA batteries.
The gauntlet part is powered by 3x AAA batteries.
This kit will require some engineering to fit into your helmet. I will supply you with enough materials that it should be easier, but don’t expect a plug and play experience.
Light kits will require soldering and running the wires.
Included in the kit:
- Low profile servo
- 1x button of your choice
- Transmitter module assembled on a custom circuit board housed in heat shrink
- Receiver module assembled on a custom circuit board housed in a 3d printed box
- Servo shaft extender
- Servo mount
- 4x wires with connectors (light kit only)
- 2x red LEDs (light kit only)
- 1x white LED (light kit only)
- LED circuit board (light kit only)
- 1x white LED wired to gauntlet (ROTJ gauntlet only, optional with light kit – contact me)
Button information:
- Alco Switch
This is an accurate alco switch used on the right/whipcord gauntlet in ESB/ROTJ (stunts)/SE.
- Push Button
This is an accurate push button used on the ROTJ/SE flame thrower gauntlet.
- Glove Button
This is a rubber nubbed button that can be attached to your glove and pressed more inconspicuously. The wire has a quick disconnect at the wrist to make it a little easier to kit up.
Pictured is a full ROTJ setup. Includes the LED for the gauntlet plus hookups for the rangefinder. Glove button used. Cover has been removed from the receiver module for the photo.
