Looking great so far. Loving the sound clip! What did you use for the sound?
I mean, is there a particular type of sound board you used.

Yes, I will post the parts in a day or two when I have time to identify everything. :cool
Thanks garthok I found these very good High quality sound modules over at this site
recordable sound module for do it yourself greeting cards
Very affordable and fast shipping.If anyone was to put sound into there remotes go with those sound boards :thumbsup.

I ran my 9 volt to the molex then to the on'off switch it was pretty simple.I been talking to damien and he's gonna mail me a circuit board for free I just pay for postage.I really kind of begged for this board from him :unsure.So I gutted out the inside of my futaba to fit the board (WHAT A PAIN IN THE ARS).Basically the board can power up to 6 volts which is 4 AA batteries that are 1.5 volts each that's what powers the board on.That was my main concern because damien would show his working off a DC source.I just want to know and understand this to the best f my knowledge.Those double A's will be housed inside my unibox.All the start/stop buttons that power the segment displays will be powered through the futuba upper front switches running to the board.The 7 segment display are not soldered to the board as shown in your picture they will be inserted in supports which will run the wires to the board.
This is my first time messing with a circuit board but it seems pretty simple to get everything hooked up,The hardest part is gonna be the soldering :cry.This is a very time consuming project,Anyway back to more research and figuring out more parts.
DB you seem to have the parts can you post a pic of all yours?

Glad to hear you were able to get a board! :thumbsup
I can't get any of my Molexes to work, even though they have never been used before.
Gutting the inside of the remotes is definitely aggravating. One of mine still had an old leaky battery inside too.
I'd like to connect the display counter to the remote so it works similar to the one in the movie. I don't know if I'll try this yet or not.
I don't have anything soldered, the photo was just a test fit to see if I had everything correct. I think I'm going to try to use micro LEDs in the place of the displays that came with the board, so I can use the screen accurate Stanley display parts. I've never done any soldering either, but it shouldn't really be too difficult.
With the exception of the parts from Gary, I have all the other stuff now to complete the remote. I wanted to paint the boxes and get those all assembled last weekend, but it's been either cold or rainy every day. Not exactly good conditions for painting. :unsure
Parts list for the board will be posted tomorrow night about this time.
I have a really busy day tomorrow, so I won't have time to make the list tonight.

I want to do the same thing on mine. I would like the display to go up or down with the accelerator lever. But I don't have a clue how to do it. Being stupid really does have it's disadvantages.
FYI, I'm on the ball - just taking longer than I thought it would.

I've spent the last two days pulling all the crap from multiple locations in my garage. Honestly, I'm surprised I was as far as I was when I stopped a few years back. Seeing it all in one place again really helps to get me motivated towards figuring it out again.

Oh, and I know I haven't found everything yet. There are still a couple of Uniboxes, Switches, and LEDs for the displays that are floating around. No idea where they are in the "pit".
If you saw my garage right now you would completely understand

I can't wait to order a set of displays and a red STOP molex from you Gary!
I for one plan to actually use the remote as a remote for an R2 and/or a WALL-E someday, so I'm gonna need to figure out how to fit any and all electronics inside the Unibox (which will be here in a day or two)...

I will say this much about a potential run - it WILL be limited. I only have so many extra of the circuit boards.
