I also ordered up the connections I am going to use for the hose on the pack end.
MS3106A14S-2P and MS3102A14S-2S
Also I added a second smoke machine/pump/motor onto another pin that draws off a 5v vape pen (can be any smoke machine as long as it's 5v). I am going to have this one outlet out of the top of the booster tube for a bit of smoke during firing phases, just like the n-filter one. I also ordered up a small DC motor which I want to test out with a 3d printed n-filter cone to see how it works. While waiting this weekend for the parts orders to arrive early next week, I am going to attempt to remove the n-filter cap and explore the possibility of sticking a neo-pixel jewel into it, and chain it off the last LED in the cyclotron lid (I believe I saw a unused OUT pin and PWR/GND on the last led that is not used). All these things are optional of course....

It will let off a little bit of smoke while you are continuously firing, then of course during overheat it runs longer for more smoke. I have more ideas on the smoke, but at the moment I took a vape pen out of my ghost trap and using that with a small pump. Any smoke machine using 5v will work and can be triggered on or off. With the sound of the pack, you can't hear the pump. I 3D printed a rough draft of a new n-filter cone and the smoke pours out of that at the moment. However I have more ideas I will try later on, such as adding a small led or NeoPixel jewel in the n-filter to light up the smoke during overheat cycles, and I would like I put a small dc motor attached to the n-filter cone to spin the cone while the pack is smoking (longer term goal). In the end I think I will keep the vape pen near the Power Cell storage door for easy access to refill, and hook it up to the 5v power supply of the pack. It is something I will come back to after things are finished as this will do for now.I am wrapping things up now. I started drawing out the connections for a half-sized protoboard. I should have this done over the weekend. I am just waiting on a few diodes to arrive in the mail which I should have by Monday and some half-sized protoboards by Tuesday (only going to need 1). So next week will be assembly and soldering and installing into the pack for testing.
-Added more colours to the inner cyclotron lights based on the firing mode.
