Alright, so everything turned up as expected, and when returning from Springfields and the local electronics shop (Lovely shop that is) I got to it.

Bearing in mind that at the moment it's all being hardwired together to try and eliminate any problems that I really don't need to add to the already curious task.

1

As you can see there, the battery is now in the magazine, albeit hardwired onto the board, which as you can also see, lacks the battery retention springs that should be on the underside.

You may also be wondering what the hell is with the switch that's got buttons 1+2 soldered to it. Well, I was testing the fitment in the mechbox, and couldn't get my fingers into the gap to push buttons 1+2, so I soldered this together, so I could push one button instead of two. Which made it a bit easier. I did try to take a picture of it in the mechbox, but thanks to a lack of another pair of arms, I couldn't hold it still enough, press the button AND take the picture at the same time. Ahwell, showing it at least working is probably acceptable for now :B

Also, the capacitor is no longer soldered directly to the board, as it used to be. I wasn't too concerned about the colour of the wire, because I don't intend to take it off again, so don't need to concern myself with pos/neg colouring. That said, white is positive, and black is negative :B

That is all for now! I must go and clean myself and get very, very drunk with a few friends. Because we rule. Or something.

    Spiffy-tacular. If you haven't gone off the deep end just yet, this may be it's beginning.

      Aye, it's for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.

      Doubtful that it'll be any use for anything else, though :B

              Hehe, sadly when it comes to computers and current technology, if you don't spend every waking hour reading up on the newest of the new, you're done for.

              I completely ignored DDR2 when it launched, and I'm up to my eyes in doccumentation that's gone unread :(

    This is looking interesting. So I assume you are going to re-wire the buttons somewhere more convenient? Also, I hope your going to glue the mag to the gun, it would be quite unfortunate if a clueless friend tried to "reload" it.

      Aye, the buttons are going to be on the grip, at least, that's the plan so far.

      I'm in two minds about the battery pack. I need to get the thing out for recharging, but how I'm going to go about that I don't know just yet.

      I thinking it's going to be a straight forward removal mag, and if someone tries to reload it, they better have saved recently :B

            Yeah. Technically you don't even need ARU's to get murdalised, just a couple of wires coming out of your backpack. Interesting how the UK police can shoot someone dead in the back and people only care for about a week.

                And you would be so much more effective than my brother and his stoned friends. :/

                I swear one of his friends was trying to hook up with one instead of training it. :/

                      I know, it's terrible.

                      Just trying to find someone to hold electrics while I solder them is hard enough :(

                      Apparently it's uncool to ask someone to hold live mains..
