First I have been a long time lurker but a first time poster and wanted to say how awsome this board is. I have seen some great advise and now I am looking for some my self. For a pretty ambitious (well for me anyway) project. It's mostly wiring so I came here for some advise.
Ok quick little back story. A couple of years ago they released Gears of War2 (GAW2). They also released a special addition through Amazon which included a Replica Lancer. Well when I recieved it, I was pretty excited, it looked really good. So I installed the batteries and pulled the trigger.................. I heard a whole lotta nothing. But I am sure most people here heard about that debacle and knew how to fix it, aluminum foil. So with that fixed I pulled the trigger. Needless so say I was a little underwhelemed. It sounded like a baseball card in bike spokes. So I put it back in its box and stored it away. Well over this past weekend I had an idea what if I added sound affects to it. I am sure I am not the only one who has thought of this and acutally done this mod. But this is what I would like to accomplish.
#1 Dremmel out the appropriate areas that are supposed to have light and add in some bright blue LED's and have them activate using a momentary switch that is depressed when you lock in the ammo clip.
#2 Add in sound cards for a chainsaw and machine gun sounds.
#3 I want to wire wire both of the sound cards to the main trigger (and a small momentary aux switch) So when I pull the trigger alone I get the machine gun sound and when I pull the trigger with the aux button pressed I get the chainsaw sound.
#4. I want to wire the sound cards in with the LED momentary so they cant be activated unless the clip is in place.
I know this is pretty big project but if done right I think will look and sound really cool. I would love some feedback and some advise. I plan on keeping this as a Progress thread with pictures.
