Next, I am going to see if I can divert some of the power to the lower flap rather than put another battery there. I have learnt my lesson last time: The Tricorder was put on KIV box where the reed switch was a bit faulty which cause battery to drain itself lighting the LEDs. In the end, the liquid from the battery leaked out and cause a lot of mess on the electronics (OK, LEDs) and also the stickers. This will mean another trip to Pasar Road and also to the computer shop to look for a suitable inkjet paper (either waterproof photopaper or those semi-transparent types)
Anyhow, lets see how much I can do before the November 4th Bazaar. I am still worried about how to recreate the stickers and also to have the sensor laser cut before the deadline. Otherwise, I'll have to go for a low-tech (bluff) solution. And not only that, because Kristine wrecked Mommy's glasses, I do not have much budget left. The 6volt batteries are going to put a big hole in my pocket, I am sure.
Cutting the innards with my precious RM8.900 sharp cutter
and destroying it in the process. Sometimes, I wished I had a
Dremel tool as my hands are now aching, which is a bad sign
as it could lead to a sprain or gout attack. Damn!
Oh yeah, you can also see the mistakes I made in them holes
