Incredible Build!! Where do I find those storage containers you use for your parts? -
Upgrading 9v train regulators for PF, GBC, Mindstorms etc.
Fyredog replied to BatteryPoweredBricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Were you able to test the transformer with the red plug to see what its capabilities are? I'm interested in using these to run more than a few GBC using 1 transformer. GREAT video as always. -

Fyredog replied to alexGS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@1974 - Go here for wire. I have repaired many 9V wires with GREAT success thanks to @BatteryPoweredBricks. I haven't had to repair sensors yet - But Thank you @alexGS for your demonstration - I feel less apprehensive toward repairing the sensor wires using your method. -

[GBC] The Akiyuki Project (2010 - 2020)
Fyredog replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Been working on the Akiyuki Pneumatic trying to solve the jerky movements. I had been thinking about this mod for a while. The up down movements were pretty easy to dial in using the ever so touchy sliders. So I thought why not adapt those to the rotation movement. That worked out pretty well. The only other issue I need to address is the rack that shifts just enough for the scoop arm to get caught on with weight in the basket.- 2982 replies

That seems easy enough - Thanks for your response. Question, What makes version 2 better than version 1? Version 1 seems less complicated and less wires to deal with. -

Great video, I ran this module a couple weeks ago for 3 days at a show. My original compressor had to replace the compressor that Blackbird included in his instructs. That one made it 3 hours until a shaft and gear worked out. I have since then rebuilt Blackbirds version, and it works well. I am having some of the same issues you had. I plan to make the rotation valve more adjustable like the up down valve. That way I can fine tune a bit better. I'm also thinking maybe I need to adapt your air limiter to the rotate valve. I may take the main airlines separately down to the compressor with independent pressure adjustments. I think with these small mods This module can run fairly consistent for days.- 2982 replies
