Thread: Nazi Zombies mystery box MIB

ascension! my favorite map. I think 25 or 27 was my best on that! teddy bear pop out would be sick. I think yull get alot of teens to like your box. being one myslef we all play xbox and zombies but seeing it right in front of you is like awesome!!! AS for psi as long as the lid is light it will only take about 20 or 30 psi to lift it because its on an angle where it will close esily due to gravity. too hard might be 50 to 60 casue that will start banging an can break a hinge or what not

Alright guys, back from vacation and I already finished the install of the cylinders. Frightprops screwed up my order and sent me a double acting cylinder instead of a single acting for the lift, but I decided to bite the bullet and hook it up like a single acting with an exhaust on the opposite port. Just waiting on a few more pieces of hardware before I can connect and start testing.

The advice I'm looking for concerns the wiring of the doorbell as the trigger. I took the doorbell out today to look at it, and it has 4 wires, 1 solid blue, 1 solid orange, 1 blue and white, and 1 orange and white. The solids are connected to the same point and the "dotted" ones are also. As I'm sitting here looking at the picoboo's manual, this thing has a diagram for green, red and black wires for a push button trigger. My question is, which wires and where do I connect them to the picoboo to act as a trigger? I know it's A/C and low voltage and prob doesn't matter, but I don't want to burn anything out this close to gameday. Also, what gauge of wire is recommended for this? Can I just buy the small stuff they have at HD or Lowes? Thanks guys!!!

Bump for the question

Most doorbells I'm familiar with run off of one pair. They typically use the same cat3 cable as landline phone wire, so you'll usually see the multiple pairs/colors. You only need to wire up one of the pairs for it to work. The green on your picoboo is most likely a ground wire. Match one of your solid colors from the doorbell with the red on your picoboo and your color/white patterned wire with the black on your picoboo. Should work, but if it doesn't flip the two around.

Ok I think I understand this. Actually the ground on the picoboo is b&w, but I think you are saying that only the in and the ground have to be connected?? Also, can I have the doorbell functional while it's connected to the picoboo? Not sure if having that voltage running thru the wires will damage the picoboo, and I was thinking of just connecting to the hot wires on the button.

this is such a awesome idea

Ok everyone, I finally posted a video of this baby i action. Here's a link to the post. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
