Pad C Ignition Changes

> extending the input line on my box would be easy for me to do.

Actually if you soldered a 1/4 inch phone plug to the coil wire on your GSE, you could plug in directly on the existing MPR and HPR lines well before they get to the pad bypassing the clips completely. For non-CMASS launches, make up a 1/4 inch phone jack with short 16 awg pigtails.

True. The club has equipment for 4 HPR pads. We have set up a Pad C / Pad D cell on the hill in the past on busy days so 2 launch preps can happen in parallel. Pad D can be set up at every launch if more volunteers arrive early (9:30AM) to help out (I'm not referring to you, Boris . Even if you dont get there at 9:30, there's nothing stopping any member from hauling out Pad D during the day so long as you fetch it back after.

>> The binding posts make a much better connection.
Agreed 100%. I thought having 2 pairs of binding posts would be required (backup, multiple ignitors).

>> Do you think you really need the speaker terminal things?
The speaker type option came out of a discussion I had with Bob K, we thought they would be good to try on the prototype (provided they closee fully on thin gauge wire).

Bring a selection of what you have to TARC on 31-Mar-2012, mininally 2 pairs (4 posts total).

Thanks,
