|
|
Ok so me and my friends want too build our own metal pad, for those of you who think we should just go out and spend 400 bucks on a blue shark don't bother mentioning it because we want too build our own.
anywho, we want to buy actual pad sensors pair of 8, 2 for each arrow like a blueshark.
my question is, how would we get them to work? do we need a control box that they connect to?? where can we aquire one if one is needed? |

for any pad you build you need a control box of some kind. i would highly recommend using an old softpad for that. (large contacts, less prone to static damage, etc)
as for hooking up the sensors, you will have to wire them so that if either sensor on each arrow is triggered, it will register (or connect the circuit) It's not that tough to do, but just be warned that the sensors themselves are quite expensive, easily costing ~$200. if you have the money for that, go for it.
At least one person has already done this, and i bet more have, but i just cant remember their names >.> _________________
