im going to make a electronic pyro ignitor...

17 October 2004 - 11:15 AM

hello, im into electronics and i am going to make a 7ch electronic ignitor for my devices. looking at stage pyro ignitors, they have 10 spst rocker switches and you arm the channels by pressing them down, then have one fire button that makes it all go at once. i would like to make on like this. no problems building it aestheticaly, but i would like to include a key switch, and a continuety tester on all the channels. this could get extremly complicated becaus of the whole Nichrome burnign out on hardly any current. any idears on how i could do all this?

making continuety tester for electronic NiChrome

hi, i use electronic ignition in everything i do, and i am getting fed up of having misfires becaus the croc clips arnt on right, so i am going to put a continuety tester in the firing unit. only problem being, it uses NiChrome and that burns at hardly any current, so my diliema is, how do i put enought current through to power an LED or sutable amplifier without firing my device in the process....

any idears|

my first throught was to just get a POT and turn th resistance up until the wire started to burn then turn it down abit and get a very low voltage LED....
