Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
Haha right?
It's driving me nuts.
I was showing my friends my shooters and they were all "does it shoot"?
Yes it shoots. I would show you a video but my mechanic is working on my flux capacitor. Deloreon should be out of the shop in a week or 2.
Or sarcastic remark #2: "Yes I know obviously it doesn't shoot anything".
Oh. Then you aware that I partnered up with th Silly String company to fit into a little tiny cartridge made of plastic that was 3D printed at no profit to them them?

No problem chief!the links for the parts are in the junkyard thread.
this is amazing, thank you so much! I've been looking like all over for something that can serve as the red center piece lens and now i just got 300 of them

Quick question; Where has everybody been buying there reed switches at? I want to make sure I have the right size and type, but don't know where to get them. Radioshack didn't have any when I went.

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
Got some goodies in the mail today
I picked up a few LilyPad LEDs, as suggested by MR. Spider. While I only had a 9v battery to test it out (no watch batteries atm, so this test is a little over powered), it doesn't disappoint.
For those more versed in custom electronics, how can we have both LEDs (red and green) light up at the same time? I understand how to wire up the two individually, one having a switch/button and the othe a reed switch.
I guess I'm just trying to understand how the two would share a power source, any suggestions?

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
If you want them to both always light up at the same time, I would assume you could just solder a little bit of extra wire across to the joins for the lights so the whole circuit uses the battery - but with that, I'm fairly sure you won't be able to independently light the red and green - when either switch is on, all lights will be. I could be wrong though - I've only done some basic wiring of multiple LEDs, and always with one switch...but sharing the power source is no trouble

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
I just actually figured it out! Well part of it anyways :rolleyes.
I got the setup wired up so that when the power is on, it lights the red LED but the green stays off(i.e. the web cartridge).
When a magnet is applied to the reed switch the green light turns on. But when I disconnect the power from the red LED (with the magnet still in of course) it turns off and the green stays on.
Now the fun part is making this all fit and work in the cavity of the web shooter body. :lol

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
Okay I need help. I really have 0 bit of knowledge of what the heck to do w/ the wiring. Would anybody be willing to draw up a diagram of how they are planning on wiring up everything? I work better w/ visuals lol. My system is this; The red LED will only light up when the palm button is pressed, and the green LEDs will light up and stay on once the web cartridge is inserted. So I guess my real question is, what should I do/use as a simple palm button method to light up the red LED, and also whats the wiring method so far on lighting up the green LEDs? Still great work so far everyone!:thumbsup

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
This is the same setup I'm hoping to do....not sure if it will work as I diagrammed, so hopefully someone can confirm or correct. Keep in mind this isn't my specialty, so ignore my non technical speech.... Basically I will splice off the coin battery harness and the outside track (following the red line - may not be the red one in "real life") comes to the reed switch (blue oval), and up to the green leds "positive". The splice off the red will connect to a switch (small orange circle) that will be activated/closed by a palm switch (orange wire/orange circle), and the red wire splice continues to the red leds. The black line is more straight forward (I believe).In my head, when the fluid cartridge is inserted,the magnet will close the outside track and light the green leds and the red leds will not light until the palm switch is depressed, which will close the inside track lighting the red leds, while the green remain lit. Releasing the palm switch will open the inside track causing the red leds to turn off. Of course some tinkering and testing will be needed once everything begins arriving.......so, what do you guys think? Will this work?Okay I need help.

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
As my girl 7 of 9 would say... "Crude, but effective."
Just keep in mind there are going to be two wires leading up to the palm switch, not one.
This is essentially how my circuit is going to be laid out.:thumbsup
Additionally if you are going with multiple green LED's, they should be wired in up in a parallel configuration vs series.
Same goes for the red LED's.

Thats exactly what I want.
Got any pics for my feeble mind?

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
Here's a small sketch I have at the moment, it's deceptively simple.
Now since I don't have a momentary switch/trigger, nor watch batteries I can't say this the be all end all, but it's a start.
I hope it helps!

Re: Spiderman web shooter: A collaborative project. Now with pretty lights!
Got the bingo chips in the mail today, and while it's a time consuming task, with a careful trim they can fit nice and snug.
While it wasn't apparent in the advertised photo, the chips have a small (1mm or so) chamfer. Using a combination of a file and a X-acto to smooth the edge I was able to take that chamfered edge off.
