RIDE START STOP AND RUN CIRCUIT BUILD

This is a basic build of a start stop latch using relays and a light to demonstrate. Start stop circuits and latch circuits are use all over on most rides. I also go over a branch circuit as well.

Best channel ever! I’m 15 hears old and love coaster and the technology behind it! I even build an LSM launch coaster model at home.👍

[@ryantheridemechanic]

That’s cool!

You would make a great professor!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Thank you!

Appreciate the disclaimer. Unfortunately, I already did something like this while "technically" I didn't know what I was doing. I mean, my papa was over my shoulder, and he was an electrician, so I was as safe as a kid in the late 80s could be😂. I'll have you know that I built the circuit without help from him. It was for a school project that I almost got into trouble over, because it was "dangerous", and "especially for someone your age". They honestly thought I cheated, and my papa did it, instead of just following what one of his books said. Oh yeah..." don't do that at home". You know... it was the 80s. We were an odd generation.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Yea. Always want to keep kids away from danger but we have gone too far for kids these days as helicopter parents? Some times I think, so but it also seems the world has stepped up their efforts to do creepy things with people justifying the helicopter parent model. Thanks for the comment

Oh this was another fun educational video for a lay person like me. Your disclaimer at the beginning reminds me of all the people who come into my store telling me they are going to rewire their home or electrical box. Now they are not electricians because I always ask first. My thought is always oh god they are either going to die or burn down the house. I promptly tell them I'm not an electrician so I won't advise you on the job. I do advise you to hire a qualified electrician for it and walk away.

Unfortunately death surrounds electrical things.

Watching you building a SR Latch / flipflop throws me back into the good old days of countless sheets of paper filled with logic diagrams. Someone get him two NANDs!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Most small / cheap rides are still relay logic with a plc just for fault monitoring.

Just a quick tip, it looks like you’re using a blue yeti microphone so you should turn it so that the front is facing you. The actual bit that picks up the sound is housed in the front face of the mic, not the top which is kinda odd I know. So by pointing the top towards you, you aren’t getting the best quality sound. If it’s not a blue yeti mic then ignore this lol.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

It’s a knockoff by zealsound. I looked at the little diagram again and it says to point it toward the sound. But I’ve had lots of trouble off and on mainly with connection. One day I’ll upgrade to an actual blue yeti

Loving the channel, i can honestly say i rarely subscribe to any channels but this one had to be added. Perhaps (maybe its too similar to others i don't know) but perhaps put out a video about how youd go about restarting a long term sbno ride or coaster ✌️ keep up the fab work

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Thank you very much!

[@AirbornewithTim]

Appreciate your time and your videos Ryan. I’m currently going to school for “industrial systems”. You inspired me learn to try to get into controls. So thank you Ryan. Of course I came here to learn about roller coasters but little decisions can go far sometimes. Thank you again. Appreciate it from Michigan.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

I’m heavier on controls as I picked it up naturally. But for a lot of controls I have to start from scratch to explain how basic things work. Thanks for the nice comment I wish you the best in your journey.

[@AirbornewithTim]

@@ryantheridemechanicI hope my comment read right. I was typing in a hurry. I meant that I originally came to learn about coasters, but there’s more than I thought. You also taught us that and even more about mechanics of other rides. I’ve enjoyed every video, and learned along the way. You put good effort into the videos. I’m unsure how KZbin works but hopefully you’ll get something from your labor. I wish you and your family the best.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

@@AirbornewithTim thank you

[@Colaholiker]

Great safety practice to have a visual disconnect before working on the circuit. I acquired the same habit (if possible). Not sure about those wiring nuts tho, but as far as I know they are commonplace in the US, while completely unknown here in Germany. Now, can you imagine an entire Wild Mouse coaster being all relay controlled without a PLC? I have seen the control cabinets. Wow. 🤯

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Yea I just had wire nuts sitting around. I prefer spring loaded terminal blocks but had none of them.

[@dindog22]

how did you learn all this?

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Believe it or not. Self taught with a Vekoma SLC and an inquisitive mind.

[@dindog22]

@@ryantheridemechanic sometimes that's the best way to learn

[@HaroldKuilman]

Is this for the "you can't build a rollercoaster from home Depot in our backyard challenge" your wife set you?

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Haha! No not quite, I’ve always enjoyed controls work. Looks like not many people are interested in it though judging by the feedback. Oh well. I’ve got one more up my sleeve.
