Hello all,Nobody appears to have done this and posted about it. If I remember correctly, the wand draws about 4.7v when active. Might be crazy but that's the voltage I remember. I'll do a little research for ya if you want, but if you just search on these forums you'll get an answer.
Since the Haslabs Proton Packs are not an option for someone looking at putting together a new pack, I am leaning heavily towards pairing a HasLabs Neutrona Wand with the Spirit Proton Pack via a Battery Adapter. (I would prefer not to mod the Wand but instead have a plug and play option.)
This will require some additional setup regarding separate On/Off states for the two different parts.
I have noticed the Haslabs Neutrona Wand's safety release and retraction sound effects play regardless of what state the rest of the buttons are in. So, I have to assume the Wand when able is always drawing power.
From what I have seen of the HasLabs Proton Pack, it does not respond at all to the Overheat confirming there's no data communitcation in the Battery Adapter.

There should in theory be a detectibe shift in the voltage levels (which with the right extra equipment) be a way to add that detection to any Proton Pack.
I am asking if anyone thus far has attempted to map the voltage levels of the HasLabs Wand via a Battery Adapter? (In any capacity that does not involve a moddied Wand.) If there's a detectable shift, one should be able to program a basic board to shift the Pack into one of a few different states based upon said voltage levels.
At very least, I hope to be able to detect the Wand moving into Overheat mode (at very least detect the shutdown) to create some kind of visible state on the Pack. Since the Overheat function is a staple of these Wands.
So, I am asking the community anyone has completed or attempted any degree of said leg work? (No use reinventing the wheel, right?)
