Week 40 Mercedes eCitaro G Fuel Cell: a lot in theory, not that much in practice.
BlockTalk Summary
This week's focus is on theoretical improvements and preparations for the Mercedes eCitaro G Fuel Cell project. The builder is concentrating on automating the system and refining the bus's mechanics.
The builder is acquiring more electronic components to automate the system, including warm white lights and socket boards. The goal is to simplify wiring and reduce clutter. Researching the second screen's functionality led to contacting the manufacturer for guidance. The builder plans to purchase an adapter to convert the FCC connector into Dupont wires and flat jumper cables for easier connection and a cleaner look. These purchases are planned for next month.
The builder completed the rear end of the bus, reducing the rear door mechanism's thickness by a stud. This change improves the interior space and aesthetics. The challenge now is to connect an axle to the mechanism for motor power. The builder aims to make the mechanism smoother to potentially use micro motors for the doors, eliminating cracking sounds.
The builder is also planning to order more LEGO pieces to complete certain sections once the middle bending section is reworked. If you are working on your own LEGO projects, you might find a brick separator helpful for making adjustments.
Hello everyone, This week I focused myself more on theorical things rather than physical improvements. Here is a list of everything that I figured out : Firstly, I have already lots of electronics but i need more of them to fully be able to automate the system. So i started by ordering a pack of 12 warm white lights (there was no orange but they will be behind trans orange pieces so that's fine) along with a pack of 8 sockets board. My theory is that because they worked on my second bus just...
