if you are indoors, just place a regular light above the chrony. You don't need anything fancy.

Any tips for building the light kit? I just ordered me a chrony without lighting fixture. | ||||||||

Great news! Sergey has offered to replace my board with a new one! I am very happy with this offer and I am very impressed with Sergey and his friendly attitude towards the customer.
It turns out that the board would be very difficult for me to repair, especially the second button which is surface mounted to the board. My attempt to replace the button switch would have probably made the board in worse shape then it is right now, lol. It was somewhat interesting to do some troubleshooting and it gave me an excuse to dust off my old electronic repair equipment. While I wait, I am going to order myself some decent rechargeable batteries and make sure my air tanks are full and ready for testing when the new board gets here. | ||||

Windage, thanks for these figures. Almost everything is clear now. I'm sending you an e-mail with the repair ideas.

You may already know this. If your shooting indoors with your chrony, you need a light kit. I built my own for about 5 dollars worth of material. | ||||||

Results:
R1 - + = 0.1 Ohms + - = 0.1 Ohms R2 - + = 49.5 + - = 49.5 R3 - + = 5.5 K + - = 5.9 K R4 - + = 0.2 + - = 0.2 V1 = 10.2 V V2 = 1.39 V Obviously, V2 is not supposed to be at 1.39 Volts, too low for logic ccts. Should be either 3 or 5 volts I believe, depending on the microprocessor. I am taking a guess of course, lol and I could be wrong. Tested from left to right the tactile buttons. TB1 when pressed went to 0 ohms. Same with TB3. TB2 did not go to 0 ohms and stayed open at infinite ohms. I pressed the button like 200 times to try and clean out the oxidation with no change in results. Hope this helps. | ||||

Sounds great GD! What voltage were you using?
CO2 is bad for seals and gaskets, freezing them and cracking. Thats one of the reasons HPA is better. I wonder if the Chrony has a delay time, to be able to read multiple shots. Causing you to not get a reading.

Greetings all. Update. More testing today. The higher fps has returned with the new gasket. All co2 testing was great.The hpa testing also went well but some small problemws with connections..With the hpa tank at 1000psi,it showed 625fps.I could get the chrony to show a reading on full auto but did get a reading on burst fire of 750fps when the hpa tank was showing 1500psi. Through all the tests today with a lot of no reading,the gun was very loud and did not skip a beat.In all the board worked very well and is a huge improvement. GD.

WOW windage, that looks AWESOME!!! Looks like factory.
Sorry to here that you are having trouble with the board, Sergery will get you all fixed up.

Yes, I used a dremel tool, some sand paper and a drill with a very small drill bit. The window is a perfect square and the plexiglass was very easy to cut as a square. I am also using another bigger piece of plexiglass that will be glued on the inside of the gun. The 2 pieces are then being sandwiched together and the very small gap around the window will be filled with black epoxy to make the final finishing touches. | ||||||

Hello Windage.
Thanks for posting the photographs. Believe me, I'm the guy who wants to get your board back to work more than anybody else. Please do exactly what I ask you to do in order to fix it as soon as possible. 1. Disconnect the solenoid and insulate the wires that were soldered to it.  2. Measure the resistance across the diode in both polarities (R1 at the photo above). 3. Measure the resistances marked R2, R3 and R4 in both polarities as well.  4. Apply 10...15 V to the board and measure the voltages V1 and V2 (central pin is negative). This is very important. When I know these values I'll tell you what parts failed and how it can be fixed. | ||||

Nice clean job on the install. What did you cut the window with a dremel?

Time for an update:
 I haven't put in the plexiglass window but it is cut and ready to be fixed in place. Troubleshooting: I did some testing tonight. The cap on the backside has a resistance of 77.2K ohm. The Voltage regulator output measures the same as the input. My lithium batteries are providing 10.10 volts. On the input side (pins 1 & 2) measure 10.10 volts. The output side (pins 2 & 3) measure 10.10 volts. I believe pin 1 is on the left side of the chip as shown in this image.  I was wrong about the location of the trace being broken. I was very tired and couldn't think straight. It was beside the (I believe is a diode) as shown in this image with a red line. As you can see in the image, I have recreated the trace with a line of solder. I think if I can recall, the diode measures 0 ohm's and I am thinking it might the part that could be burnt.  I resoldered all 4 contact points at the center microswitch button and retested and it still doesn't work. The left and far right buttons still work. I am not sure if the switch is broken or not. Is there any way of bypassing the switching and seeing if it at least responds? If I have to replace that microswitch, I will also have to remove the big Capacitor as well since there isn't much room in there. [ Too Many Images In Post; Maximum 3 ] | ||||

Awesome GD!!!!
Everyone has to remember to change batteries first when having trouble. The guns use lots of current for the soleniod. Even more when the gun is hot rodded!

Hello all. Update. It is a slow progress with the new board. I work for 20 miutes and I am soaking wet with sweat and have to take a 1 hour break But there is progress. I got the board installed and the switch holes drilled. I drilled very small little holes and with some carefull measurements,they were prefect. The switches themselves work perfect. I use a 3/32 drill bit. I use smooth shaft end to press the switches. I then put the board through it's paces with no co2 or bbs.It worked perfect. Using 9 volts and hooking up the co2,I then shot the gun through the chrony single shot.I got 450fps. Normally I get 440-460 fps with the old board. I had a hell of time getting the chrony to work. My gun with the old board is set up for high Hpa and shoots a little slower than a stock Drozd. I fried a few 3-5 shot bursts and couldn't get a reading but the gun sounded good. I then switch batteries to 21.6 volts and nooked up the Hpa (1600+psi) and started testing single shot and small bursts. That when the trouble started. The gun was only shooting 175-250fps. The next 4 hours were murder. I tried everything (moving the selenoid,different combos of batteries),nothing worked. I then had an idea. I took out 6 brand new 3.6 volt AAs. A miriacle occured. The first shot nearly ripped the gun from my hands and my ears started to ring. The chrony said 705fps. No more fading on burst fire. It was THE BATTERIES. All my old batteries are NO GOOD. During all this testing I had replaced the Zaitsev gasket with a stock gasket. When I recover my strength tommorrow I will replace the stock gasket with the Zaitsev gasket and I should return to my old reading with the stock board of 760-780fps. So far everything as worked very well and I am pleased with the new board. More testing tommorrow,health permitting. GD. PS this is with my stock barrel.
