Spirit Life Size Proton Pack - GPStar Electronics Install Walkthrough

[@Vamgothic69]

Hello, you have a step by step on to install everything at all? just got my Pack and new to all this

[@aaronmorris9352]

I haven’t a created one yet as I was probably only one of the one people to do a DIY version of their product in a spirit pack. Now they have a “lite” kit that’s a lot easier to do.

Really cool build. What cyclotron lights You would recommend for Spirit full size with original cyclotron?

[@aaronmorris9352]

@@mikatikander2449 I think that depends on what your goal is, what electronics kits you select, etc. I’m making a board that will allow you to use a stock Hasbro 1984 wand with the stock spirit electronics, but will also have LED upgrades if you want. Otherwise, with GPStar the option is pretty much the Frutto LEDs or a LED ring.

Hi. I am gonna use Gp star kit with my spirit full size pack. I was wondering that does the frutto leds plug in easy on spirit cyclotron, without any dremeling, or just go with the Led ring?

@@mikatikander2449 It looks like they have 3D printable mounts to hold the Frutto LEDs on the spirit cyclotron. github.com/gpstar81/GPStar-proton-pack/blob/v5.3.4/develop/stl/pack/Spirit%20Full-Sized/Spirit%20Cyclotron%20Lens%20and%20Frutto%20LED%20Mount.stl Otherwise, the LED ring might be a good fit as well.. you can get a 45 LED 130mm ring for about $12.

How much for me to send you my spirit pack and have you do the same for mine?

[@aaronmorris9352]

@@KyleDavis-t4x I’m not currently doing commissioned work for these, but you might want to contact TerrorDogDesigns on Etsy as I know he’s done a few of these depending on requirements.

How much would you say all the electronics cost?

[@aaronmorris9352]

@@YTY203 For this setup, it was around $200. GPstar just started offering a “lite” package that includes a pack board and a few other things that can talk to an unmodified 1984 wand for less now.
