Halloween

Sorry I haven't updated you guys in a while.  No big technological breakthroughs to report.  Molds have been holding up nicely.  You guys have been keeping me especially busy the past month or so probably because you realized we are closing in on Halloween.  Sorry to say I am booked on complete custom mods through Halloween (took the last pre-Halloween order today).  Parts and kits are still available with a 1 month backlog, fabric has a 2 week backlog.

I have been getting the assembly line syndrome here churning out all this goodness for you so I dropped a couple projects (Virtual Rain Sensor and Knetic Group) to work on a new project - a flight simulator.  I know, it is completely unrelated but it gives me new problems to solve and to my RPF fans it will be a replica of the Aliens Dropship UD-4L.

Gibson Identity Disc

Just got back from our lake vacation but wanted to show you another custom job that I did for a customer before I left.  The options to get the green cast parts are now available on the Identity Disc commerce page.

Mobile Support

I am happy to announce that we have added the mobile templates for my blog this afternoon.  You can find out more about which phones are supported and learn more about the features supported by visiting their blog post.

New Fabric Print

Based on some feedback from cosplayers I have tweaked the print slightly.  Orders placed after 6/1 will receive this new print.  If you ordered a sample previously send me an email and I will ship you a new sample free of charge!

One of my customers is trying to decipher my wiring diagram.  I haven't figured out how to color-code the wires yet but the program (called Fritzing) is free to download and use... and it's open-source!

You can download my Sketch.fz (XML) file that can then be loaded into that program. You can click on a wire and it will make it bold which should help you a great deal following the diagram.  Feel free to push it back to the bitbucket site if you make improvements!

Wiring completed except for the controller... will do that tonight.  Also need to add some black construction paper to keep the light from bleeding front to back or vice-versa.

Picture with the battery mounted.  Please be sure to remove the sticker from the bottom of the battery before you mount it otherwise the glue will be sticking to the paper and it will peel off.  Observe the space under the battery which allows the light from the LED to reach the inner-C ring.
