Yep that is a great design and I would suggest keeping to such a principle. Good work. Do you have the issue of excess smoke coming out of the vent hole on the top of the cylinder??? If so I'm sure that you could plug up that small hole or turn it into a filler hole for the oil. Cheers KG |

More i restricted the flow the more it would find its way through that little hole. But since i landed on the design i have now, smoke only comes out at the end. I was pleasantly surprised. Hope to post a vid on this soon Thanks again everyone! |

Hi Can anyone help this novice. I have two ASP s and with a help from Kevin have them running great in my tanks. I want to get them connected to the Burn effects smoker. I have read the posts and I guess for someone who knows what they are doing the answer is there. However would anyone be kind enough to give me a simple step by step , with pictures, idiot guide. I,m sorry but anything resembling a circuit diagram or positive/negative signs etc mean nothing. A lot to ask I know but would really help me. I have bought the "Idiots guide to Electronics" but still have a way to go. Regards Bob |

Hi Peter Your post answered your question... ...it is ok to connect burn effect controller incoming power directly to the ASP2 smoke port, right? "The burn effects battery voltage wires are NOT colour coded they are both black. This is the reason I do not suggest using the Smoke connector on Asp which is the easy way. " I suggest that you DO NOT connect the Burn Effect direct to the smoke port. And I thought I read about it in the past, but now can't find it anywhere.. It is on Page 2 of this very topic, your attached quote is on Page 3 - go back one more page Cheers KG |

hmm... I checked all the pages. I see nothing for ASP2. All the posts there were written before ASP2 was released. I thought you made a direct connection for that on ASP2, didn't you? As for the power connection, not really, my post didn't answer my question. I understand your recommendation, but the question was more focused on if connecting the power to the smoke port using correct polarity will not damage the smoke port due to current draw of the BE controller. That's what I was getting at. Obviously, reversing polarity is a risk, and for that reason I understand why you don't recommend it, but is there any other factor why it could not be connected there? If I connect it directly to battery, turning smoke unit on/off via radio channel will control the sirvoe, but not power to BE. So if power is routed from the smoke port, turning smoke off will cut all power to that controller. |

Hi Kevin, Being very busy at work these past months, I only just now got back to work on my tanks. And so, I wired everything as explained in this thread and having problems getting burn effect to work. I sent you details and pictures via 2 emails few days ago. Hoping you got them and can help me out. Thank you. |
