Hey Sean, any update on the electronics guide? The last parts for my trap should be finishing on my printer today! Can't wait to get started putting it together.

I realize everyone is anxious for the Electronics Guide. I completed a first draft in the Fall and had my wife build a set of electronics based on that. She did so successfully but had a lot of questions and I realized I had to clarify certain areas with both rewrites and pictures. The second draft is pretty much written but I have to take a bunch of pictures to incorporate. The guide is at about 50 pages making it a ton of work. I don't want to release something that isn't ready as it will cause a lot of headaches for you and me - also please keep in mind I have released all the 3D files AND assembly guides previous to this for free.
I underestimated how time consuming this guide would be and my real jobs have gotten crazy busy. I assure you it's not vaporware - I worked on revisions over xmas and am setting up to do photos this month.

#1: 95 page Electro-Mechanics Guide is now available for download in my shop -
https://charlesworthdynamics.etsy.com
#2: just added to my site - for free - http://bit.ly/3D_Kit_Instructions
- Arduino Code - released as-is - no support!
- SFX Files
- Adafruit electronics list: https://www.adafruit.com/wishlists/457074
- Hardwired Hose Guide
Please see the Sneak Peek PDF which includes the first few sections of the guide as well as a full list of parts:
http://bit.ly/Electro_Sneak-Peek
Due to Etsy's stingy digital file size limit the immediate download you get is a way lower resolution than I originally created. I will email you within 24 hours with a MediaFire link for the 95MB high res version that you can really zoom in on the pictures with. I can also do PayPal if you want to PM me.
The guide is geared toward the layman who can solder and carefully follow directions. The electronics are built outside the trap in modules with removable connectors. This allows everything to be tested then installed. The modular design allows for easier troubleshooting and maintenance.
- Fully illustrated with tons of photos
- Fully bookmarked and internally linked for easy navigation
- Tool list
- Hardware list - the fasteners needed for assembly - also available in my Standard Hardware Kit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/271374377
- Full parts list - all electronic parts are listed - most are available from Adafruit and a shopping list is included
- Skills needed section & FAQ
- Sanding and painting
- Assembling electronic modules
- Updated Deluxe Trap and Pedal build directions with integrated electronics installation for a seamless build
- Arduino setup
- Hardwired hose and Foster connection guide so Trap can be triggered from Pedal while hose can still be removed
- Troubleshooting

Search for 'automatic refillable' and look for a starter kit which will typically have 2 e-cigs, charger, etc. Automatic (pressure activated) tend to be the cigarette shaped ones we're looking for.I used Halo eCigs for my trap and they worked out well. They have a starter kit which comes with enough parts for two eCigs.
They are little bit wider than the Joytech so when I snapped them into the trap I think I cracked the clips slightly but overall a good option. There is a plastic cap with a hole that goes into the atomizer which is also where you draw the smoke from. The small tube from the pump can be fed sniffly throughly there for an air tight for with an additional set of tubes. It makes refilling easy to since you can remove the cap and the hose can stay in cap.
