Sorry for being a necromancer. But did anyone manage to get a copy of Jokkes how-to ? Seems like the link is broken, and at the mo I'm trying to mod my flyswatter recently stolen from my mother inlaw.

Yesterday I had several sparks flying from this thing, tiny but sparks. Today I tried to set it up on running either 9 or 12v but nothing happens. The green "on when you push the switch" led works but no sparks are to be found.

Then I reversed it back to its original 3v setup, same thing green led no spark.
So either I fried the circut or made an error in my mod.

Although it looks a bit strange on the board, nothing I've noticed till now, it is as if a few of the solderings looks fresh. And i didn't solder anything, could the 12v setup have managed to solder together 2 close gaps ?

whelp!

Hay again people. Actually, I too wonder if anyone got the image I uploaded. My computer got fucked up and formated some time ago, so I no longer possess my own schematics =(

If anyone got it, please upload at imageshack(or whatever) and post link :wink:


As for you ozoncqp
You might have fried the circuit. While using the 12v setup, You should not keep it sparking for longer then about 5-6 seconds to be on the safe side. I myself have probably fried 10 of them :lol: (it's actually that little box I can't seem to remember the name on that is right before the two points were you want the spark to be that seems to be dying on me)

Aight I keeled it then. Nothing smells burned tho, guessing it's the thing that makes it click then. Ahh well glad it was a sponsor gift from the mother inlaw ;)

Thanks man though you left the forum as your last post was very old heh.
I'll hook the next one up with a 9v setup then.
I thank you Jokke.
