Hi Everyone!
Updated (The updates are all in italicized font. The rest of the description is from the original run description back in January.)
It has been a while since I have had the Mark VII Science tricorder electronics upgrade kit in stock. But I am preparing to do another run. These electronics are designed to fit the Stapleton or Roddenberry Mark VII Science tricorder body kit. The electronics are designed to turn your static tricorder into a true hero prop replica. The electronics does not include an LCD screen, computer sound clips, or any real working sensors. This is just a set of electronics that will make your tricorder look and sound just like the one used in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I have now enhanced the backlighting for the viewscreen slide. The original version used a single LED behind the slide to light it up, but there was always a bright dot in the center of the screen. I now use a brighter lighting system that evenly lights up the screen and makes the LCARS literally "pop". Compare the original from a build I did last year to the latest build I finished up just a few days ago.
The previous version:
The latest version:
The electronics has all of the same LEDs as the tricorder from the show. Plus it includes an authentic sound, plus opening and closing ratchet sounds. The electronics for the main viewscreen area can be configured with a few on-board controls. A switch bank can be used to change the sequence direction of the Alpha to Delta LEDs, plus a small trim-resistor can change the speed of the sequence.
The latest version also includes 3 working buttons that are placed behind the F1/F2, I, & E buttons. These buttons will activate 2 more sounds (medical flatline, and anomaly detection), plus a mute button to silence the tricorder when needed.
Included with the electronics is a rechargeable LiPo battery system with built-in overcharge protection. The battery can be recharged from any USB port on your computer or any USB phone charger. I now supply a higher capacity battery with the new circuits.
I did a run of 15 kits for the original version (which all sold out), so I have decided to do another run of 5 kits of the new enhanced version with the extra sounds/buttons. The kit includes a fully assembled and tested set of the updated electronics (ready to install), plus the rechargeable battery system and USB charging cable. There is also a wiring diagram with some instructions on how to install the boards. You can also view my instructional YouTube video for installing the electronics here.
If you would like to get in on this limited run the price is $135 shipped. Simply send your PayPal payment by clicking HERE. The price includes shipping to anywhere in the world.
Any questions? Leave them here or send me a PM.
Thanks!
