Got home last night and started on fixing the electronics board into position. But soon realised that this position was not a good idea! Do to the material being screwed to was flexing and moving the outer skin. So back to the drawing board.
Whilst looking inside the dome, it came to me to just make a bracket and secure the board to the inside roof, like everything else lol
So in work this morning, I got to cut up an angle strip of Aluminium and drilled location and fixing holes into it. This can now be fitted and all wired up!
So on Saturday, I fitted the bracket to the inside roof of dome. Then attached bad motivator board to the bracket. Had to do some power re-wiring inside R5 to sort 12 volt power to board, then using multimeter, adjusted the voltage regulator to 6 volts. Topped up the e-Cig unit with some more fog juice and here's the first test video in action.
There was a bit of wind when I video'd hence the gaps in the fog showing.
I'll adjust the timer once the sound is sorted. Next is to wire up the actuator to pop up the motivator.
