Web shooter shop class - Part 2

[owlboy01]

guys i took apart a spy watch and a battery powered watch and i found a trigger piece if anyone has a normal non-battery power watch you dont want i could really use it

That would be. It seems easy enough to attach to an electrical spinneret. Good find!

Ooh gosh, replyed to the wrong post, was suppose to reply to the one about the switch, I made one, but with the wrong wire so I'll try to make a new one tomorrow!:-D

Hell yeah man, for each day were one step closer, and when Clyde is dine with the 3D design I'll jump forward a month!:-D

please i want to do it on my youtube channel but i dont have a camera but i want to show people

[goku9600]

can someone send me 2 triggers i dont even have anymore moneyfor a while its hard to finda job at 12 years old

It's just something to get the spirit up for this project!:-D
Check it out!

That inspired me xD We gotta get this done. All of us. Homework or not lol. I've been so busy this week dude but I'm gonna finish your design tonight. I'm starting now. Then I'm gonna have my part list ready by wednesday. And have mine built by the end of October.

Everyone put it into your schedule. Get something done every week. No excuses. Were all Peter Parkers here lol. Let's touch, move and inspire the world with what we got to offer.

Whoa, This webshooter is important to me but I have other priorities.

It is so true!! Some people here have been doing this for 2 years and are still not done, its time we finish it!
And for the design, dont worry about the time, I can wait!
I will also begin my construction as soon as I get to use a milling machine!:-)

We cant just send you things, this build will not be so cheap, but the triggers are, they are nearly free, you need a coke can of aluminum. Some electrical tape and 4 insulated wires!
Cheap!!

here the link for my home made simple dubble tap trigger that is nearly free to make, i wont be using it but al of you guys are free to use the design.
the plates are made of aluminium and they come from a old pellet gun ammo box, the aluminium is plastic coated so ot doesnt make a good contact and it doesnt flex very well so i recommend using a steel plate or some kind of other good conducting non plated metal.
maby a candy box or some good spring steel.
my trigger will be two buttons from a circuit board and they will control the motor for the spinnerette!

How will you achieve the double tap effect with no extra circuitry?

Tutorial post: "Buttons on the SPIDER"
(Please do not quote this post, we don't want to SPAM up the forum)
Well, I promised you guys a trigger button post, and here it is!
One of the most integral parts of the web shooter is the trigger; the actual input that tells your shooter when it needs to... well, shoot.
Here is your standard SPST pushbutton:

As you can see from the following picture, it has 4 terminals.

However, for all practical purposes, we will be only using two.
Below is a basic setup for actuating a HIGH (+5 or +9V) output when the pushbutton is pushed, and a LOW output (+0V) when the button is not being pushed.

As you can see, the LED indicator is off when the button is not pushed...

... and on when the button is pushed.

However, one does not necessarily need to go out and buy a button... there are several places that one can find a button by simply looking around.
Here is an old PCB (Printed Circuit Board... remember that!) from an old RC car controller that wiped out and was rendered ineffective. Thus, the controller was no longer needed, and I took it apart. This is what was inside.

Those things hanging from the main board by wires are separate, small boards with button terminals on them.

This is the kind of button which is called a membrane button... the same kind of button that is used in your keyboard (unless you have a mechanical keyboard). It is just a small piece of rubber on the board, which has a small electrically conductive plate on the bottom, to connect two terminals and complete the circuit. This is one of those buttons:

You can also build your own button by following the same basic principles of a cast button:
-it snaps back up when not being pressed
-it has an electrically conductive surface on the bottom
-the conductive surface connects two terminals to complete a circuit and actuate the shooter
A few tips before the end of this little post:
-don't go taking apart things you want/need to get buttons
-don't go out and buy buttons before you look for ones you can make/use from things you don't want or need
-look for new ways to accomplish tasks without having to use extra materials
-research more about the different types of buttons (SPST, SPDT, DPDT, Momentary contact, etc.) and pick the one that best suits your needs
-have fun!

Hope you all enjoyed this little tutorial, "Buttons on the SPIDER", and keep watching for the next tutorial, "Basic Electronics for Use With the SPIDER".

That's fine. Work hard to get your other stuff done as well as the web shooter. Easier said than done but definitely not impossible.

[clyde]

Thanks for that post Wadaltmon. A definite time saver for me on figuring out the switch.

[Wadaltmon]

If you guys want to request a tutorial on anything, let me know.

[clyde]

And spideyfan1995 send me your email and/or skype because I'm almost done the shooter just gotta finish the valve screw/push button, nipple, and the two pins. I may need assistance in the valve screw as I'm not hundred percent I'm visualizing it correctly but I'll send you what I got when you give me your contact info.

[clyde]

Ok Spideyfan1995 I think I got it all I just got to assemble it together. I think you may have made a mistake with your pushbuttons because when they allow the fluid to pass, the fluid may also enter where the spring is. To overcome this you can put a hole through the pin and everytime you push the pin down, the hole matches up with the the passage way of the fluid and that way the pin will never give access to the fluid for reaching the spring area. I haven't added the holes though because I would need your permission if you think the holes are needed in your design.

Well, my first designwas as it is on deviantart, and I know that fluid can pass, that's why I added two o-rings on each pin. On in the top and one in the bottom so no access fluid can pass. If you understand what I mean then I recommend that you use the holes but you are free to make your own design!:-)

I cant, this was just a very simple trigger for those people who cant or dont want to use micro controllers or other advanced electronics!
