Thanks, Roy. I wired all the stuff I could until I found out that I don't have the resistor value for the LEDs in this tricorder. I contacted roddenberry by phone and email. I'm awaiting their response. I'll have to disinfect your tricorder with a thin coat of alcohol now that I've infected it with my cold germs. I haven't touched Arnie, or his weapons, so he should be safe for you to handle without getting sick.
I use 91% alcohol so that it cleans without leaving a residue on all my electronic components. I've never had a problem with them after cleaning them this way. I'll have to do this when I'm completely well again, so I don't cross contaminate. I keep everything clean, but when someone else gives me their cold - there isn't much I can do, except wear gloves which I don't have at the moment.
I haven't put the stickers on yet. I'm waiting for the electronics so that I can paint it first, then let it dry completely before applying them to the tricorder itself. I'm also having trouble finding a magnet that'll be strong enough to pull the reeds apart without interfering with other components, or having to modify the door.
Anyway, I thought I'd just give you an update, so that you don't think I'm screwing around and dragging my feet with this. Right now I really need to get off the forum and the computer as I feel really puky at the moment.
