Yes, that is exactly right. Works like a charm. I also have a sled from shapeways that I'm looking forward to trying.

Ah, thanks for the tips. The tip about tin-then-trim is great. I'll re-solder the joints to the board, just need to pick up some de-soldering wire to clean up a bit.

So I included a video clip...

Battery charge was fresh and I tried a second battery same effect. I am puzzled.

When you say that there is too much exposed wire, are you talking about exposed wire sticking through the contact...

Ok, so I finally started building. I ended up abandoning the recharge port because it would not fit with my current dimensions. So much for my planning. Didn't realize that AV buttons would block...

Ah, ok. Thanks for the response, all!

Ah, so I CAN use AAA NiMH batteries (as I can use AA), the voltage is the same (1.2vx4=4.8v) but the mAh and therefore runtime will be different?

I was not sure if there was something inherently...

Thanks Silver Serpent, that's what I initially thought but was just confused as to why Erv would specifically list 14500 and 18650 in his documentation for NBv2. I had the same question as to why 4...

To answer my own question, I have seen other builds in the forums with 18500 used instead of 18650, so I ordered them...only mention I see of difference is the amount of run time, which makes sense...

Thank you so much for the fast reply! I have read a million of your posts and they are so helpful. I have no experience with electronics and only my basic physics from college to rely on. I did...

Hello all,

This is my first build, and I am excited! Thanks to the tremendous amount of info you have all put up here for us, and HUGE thanks to Tim for the shop. I have spent weeks and then...
