WOOT - I just got a call from Craig - All 312 packages are on there way!!! A majority of you will be a getting a few dollars back for over paid postage. For those that paid by paypal, we will refund the overpayment to your paypal account - give us a week. Those that paid by check, it will take about two weeks to get the checks out to you.

Enjoy the kits and please post pictures.

Thanks
Joel Briggs

Wow. You sold a lot. Great job.

If you don't mind me asking, how many were bucky and how many were lindberg?

Yeah, I am having 3-skull axis twitches... I am so glad I dont have to see a 3 aixs skull until Tuesday of next week...

I AM IN NEW YORK... today and tomorrow and then back home, only to head out the door again heading up to Death Valley (near the Charlie Manson camp) for some R&R. I swear, if I come across a skeleton out there... .AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Joel (finally relaxing)

If you're trying to relax, why are you checking on here talking shop?

Silly, there's plenty of time for that when you get back.

By then everyone should have their stuff and driving you CRAZY with questions.

I don't want to give bad information to anyone.

One of my previous posts said that one could use from 5vdc to 9vdc to power servos. It looks like I was incorrect, and that voltages above 6vdc can damage the servos.

Can someone tell me how to go about editing that post so that I'm not the cause of someone burning up their servos? (I'm not seeing the "edit" button at the bottom, right corner of that post.)

Thanks for calling me on this, HB.

You should see an edit button on the bottom right side of any post you have made. Unfortunately it appears to only works on the page that is currently active.

or you could ask larry to delete the post . Give him the thread name and post #.

For reference, the best thing to do if you need action on a post or thread is to use the REPORT POST function. (the ! on each post).

Then just comment on why something needs attention.

Thanks.

Hitec 425BB current requirements:

NO LOAD (idling current, just sitting there), 8ma;
UNDER LOAD (moving) 150ma, so running 4 servos, you need at a least 5-6vdc, 600ma wallwart, thats th' minimum requirement, at least 1amp would be wot I would run mine at, with 2amp wallwart even better.

What I'm going using: a computer power supply to run the servos. Most supplies provide regulated 5dv, at up to 20amps, so you could run up to twenty-plus, 4-servo skulls. I picked up a 200watt supply fer $18. I connect an extension cord to the supply's 5volt output, run that across the yard to my pirate ship where abt 12 pirates will be (abt 48 servos), and not worry abt current loading. My single pirates will be powered by single 6v, 2.5-3.7amp wallwarts (have several) so no worries there either. Again, each Hitec 425BB under load requires 150milliamps, so each 4-servo skull should be run by at least a 5-6vdc, 600milliamp wallwart.

Hope those numbers help ya figure if yer currently, under-current

Capt. Jack
