A recent hackerspace has come to the Las Vegas area known as the Syn Shop. It is a community collection of hackers, engineers, welders, woodworkers, mechanics, techs, nerds and hobbyists all meeting together to share ideas, expertiese and give assistance on projects. Through their help I was able to find a thing or two out as well as making a few valuable contacts. I found this as a great time to get technical help on the Sherman. I brought it last night to the meeting where two things were detemined. 1- The batteries had gone bad. Not suprising seeing that they are 2+ years old alredy and were left unattended in my shop for many months without chargeing or tending. Oops. Will take them to NAPA in the morning to see if they are truely dead. 2- The Pelican brand PS2 controler that is supported by the C6C reciever is not supported by the C6C reciever. Appearently Pelican makes 2 different wireless devices, a Chamelean controler and a Predetor controler. Chameleon will work, but the Predetor will leave you with that heartbreacking disappointing feeling that only comes from utter and complete betrayal. This whole time it was the PS2 controler that was the issue, not the C6C or C12C (sorry for all the nasty thoughts about your hardware, Frank). So I got a used MadCatz from GameSpot and all is well. So monday I will test and confirm my useless batteries, get new baterries and redo my wireing for a better setup. If all goes well I will then contenue to work on the turret and gun. Thank you, Las Vegas Syn Shop. Thank the Lloyd for hackerspaces. Aaron F
