DL44 Electronics Help

[Jonflake88]

I was lucky enough to get war machine’s (blaster factory) steel DL44 kit for Christmas this year! I was hoping to put a blaster core 5 sound board in it, but I can’t see to find them any where. Does any one have a lead on some? Or know if plector labs plans to restock? Or finally have a good alternative? Thanks!

Last I heard from Erv was “i'm working on a new gen running on cfx hardware”, with no ETA.

TRamp on Facebook looks to have their own blaster electronics. I haven’t looked into it detail but it looks good

A proffie board would probably work as well as long as you are comfortable with programming and such. Not sure if it’s been done yet though...

I thought about that, as I have a spare proffie board but I have little to no programming experience...

You could try a soundboard from a toy Han Solo blaster. A member here did it a couple of years ago.

Bite the bullet and buy the T Ramp kit . It's legendary quality , and Ian the go to kit for most builders.

There's a very cool sound board from adafruit. Like 18 bucks has 2mb of storage and amplified speaker outputs. I'm using one for a Sandman DS pistol. No programming necessary.

Here is the 16mb version

Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board + 2x2W Amp - WAV/OGG Trigger -16MB

Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you don't even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play ...

Im looking into TRamp, the only downside to that is I like to do wiring etc myself. Seems like a good option though.

I actually think I have one of these that I totally forgot about! This is a good idea! Gotta search around the shop and see if I can find it.
