    I'm trying to make a movie prop out of my old First Contact, and it involves tinkering. Does anbody how to make the power setting indicators? I'll make it from scratch if I have to. I think the actual thing is called a sequencer.

    i did electronics and i can tell you that if you want to make it with an overload circuit youll need an NE 555 timer but there is a much simpler way. What you could use is a Electronic graph display and link it up to a P.I.C And use a computer program make the algorithm. its difficult to explain, But i made something similar for a school project. I can direct you to http://www.rapidonline.com

    they are a good electronics supplier. alternatively Radio shack may have what you need and will probably help you too.

    Dont worry. I'm not actually doing this until Im ready. Johnathan, could you explain that so it is easier to understand? I'm still not all that knowledgeable when it comes to making small electronics.

    I'm sure I have seen a few YouTube videos of people modifying Star Trek models and collectables to be more prop like. Might be worth having a look there and seeing if there are any helpful tips or someone that has a lot of experience that might be able to offer better advice.

    I already tried asking. No luck. But I did find a site for electronics help.
