Playing with the chrony and airsoft single stack..

Click on pic for vid.

 

Made up a set of lights out of led courtesy light, cool factor is you can run them on one 9volt square battery which means you do not need a plug..I attached them with rubber bands to make them removable.

 

Once again click on the pic for vid.

 

Awesome. Tony, can you take more pics of how you hooked them up? Link. Sure beats the indoor lighting systems.

Whoopty doo, I hate you even more. Hate Hate Hate Hate

I looked up the required indoor lighting kit, had to be plugged in not sure you can find a plug at ranges..so i figured i would make my own up was not sure how the led lighting would work due to curcuit board, seems not to interfere with the chrony.. being led and the low draw on the battery it should last a long time..

 

max i will take some pics tomorrow i put all that crap away..

Awesome! I tried using Maks' chrono last night indoors with fluorescent lighting and it wouldn't register at all. Would love to see a photo so I can duplicate your setup.

Wow, Ordered from Dvor on Sunday and the UPS guy just left and said, this was the lightest package he has delivered in about a year.

wired two marine 12 volt LED courtesy lights together. Hooked up to a 9 volt square battery.. The battery should last a pretty long time last night i used this one for 1/2 hour still going strong..

 

All i have left to pick up is a power connector for the battery so i can just plug it on, will get that from radio shack..

 

I soldered and heat shrinked all connections.you can twist and tape them if that is all you have..

 

I used rubber bands to hold them to the chrony easy to take apart and reinstall..

 

 

 

 

 

 

if the LEDs are direct drive off the current with a resistor balance, they are probably ok. If it has a regulating circuit that uses PWM, then you will probably induce timing errors.

 

Oddly enough being cheap is probably the best option.

I wish it was cheap, those lights are over 30.00 each But i can run them on a 9volt battery..

I hope you had them on hand rather than buying them. Any idea what kind of light output on them? Might be able to dig up some cheap unregulated LED stick up lights.

7 watts equivlant, .03 amp draw

has to be incadesent..

Edit: i did have them in stock from a previous job..

I did test the chrony without them with the airsoft pistol.

shut the lights off and used the leds, same readings so i was happy..
