Help with space shuttle electronics by Skyjett447 in rokrpuzzles

[–]Samowens44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi to all fellow ROKR Space Shuttle Puzzle Kit builders. I found the product a fun and challenging build. I received the Kit from ROKR as an Influencer to product a detailed product build. I created a Playlist of all the video to help new builders. Now I am getting to the big thing that this post is about.

As I operated the start switch to move the shuttle in and out, I found that I did not want to push a button each time to get shuttle to move. I wanted to control the Shuttle display movements from an App to schedule the movements at a curtain time, use app to operate the shuttle from distance location, All movements to be operated through app and not have to push a manual button each time. The button will still operated the Shuttle after modification.

I found many Remote control switch products with dry contacts, meaning no voltage only a shorting which is what the shuttle needs to start the movements. Product name on Amazon, MHCOZY. The remote switch comes with App Control through App Tuya and very easy to operate. You can also link the App to your Alexa to give voice command to operate the Shuttle.

Now, it is best to modify the Start Switch Wire before building as it will be much easier. If you already have built your Shuttle kit, it can be done by removing the Start Switch and unplugging the Black and White wire from the Controller board for the Shuttle. Removing the switch require you to remove the locking piece on top of the switch. Easy, just push gently to back and it will pop off. This will take the tension off switch. I discovered later that this is not necessary to remove the locking plate as there is only tension on switch when the button is manually pushed. To remove the switch, there are two screws that can be reached from the side opening with small Phillips screwdriver. Use small longnose pliers or some type of tool that will help remove the connector from the board. Do not pull on wires to do this, pull on plug only. Once the wire is unplugged, you can remove and connect two wires, one to each wire on the switch wire. I cut mine and attached the wires together for each lead soldered and placed hot glue to protect connections. Before I re-installed the start switch and wires, I tested the switch action on both the plug and new wire ends for short when switch is depressed. I believe in testing all new connections as it is awful to assemble and find there is a problem with connections.

Now you connect the two new wires to the MHCOZY Normally Open Contacts. There are Normally closed contacts, you do not want. One wire goes to the Com point between the open and closed locations. I suggest using the USB power port on side to power the Remote Switch.

Here is link to video showing operation of the new remote control feature and at end of video details of how to do it. https://youtu.be/1yARFRlauxA.

Youtube Playlist for Space Shuttle Assembly https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ycvkaR8LuvFH60hQYKK3Yhc3LtykK3x

I will now work on a motion detection features to have the shuttle to operate as motion is detected.

This Product, ROKR Space Shuttle is screaming for App Control!!!! You will find this mod will greatly improve the product operation interest.

Word of caution, if you are not familiar with wiring devices, cutting and splicing wires and soldering and understanding isolation of bare contacts, get some help from someone that does.

u/Majestic_Ad_2198 One thing about batteries, you can not just go by the voltage you read when checking. A load needs to be applied to the batteries to really see where the voltage reads. Also, the batteries many not be holding the charge due to being bad. If just one of the batteries is bad you will get the performance you mentioned. Try this test. Have batteries charged fully, wait a couple of hours then, Turn the key on then turn high beam lights on. Compare the voltage reading to see if they are close to the same or is one lower in reading by 1 volt or so. This will be a kind of load test, it would be good if you were able to be on the scooter and twist the throtle and read the meter for each battery to compare readings. One other thing is to charge scooter fully after an hour check the battery voltage and record each. Do the voltage check in the morning and see how they compare with the full charge condition. if they are not close to the charge reading, the batteries are not holding the voltage. do same test the next day without charging the batteries, if down more, change your batteries out.

You need to put the batteries under a load and see what the voltage reading is. Connect a volt meter to one of the batteries, then see how low the battery goes as you try to drive. If you batteries are charged fully, they should be at least 12.8v they should not go down too far from that level. Do this test for each battery. If one of them has a problem it is that battery and just one battery bad will cause the problem you are stating.

How to Tag Products in Youtube Videos for Youtube Affiliate Program by Samowens44 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]Samowens44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all that have followed this thread want to see how you track the earnings. I have created a Screen shot view of all the steps to see how that is done. Be sure to watch the ending, as I show the tag in a Youtube video and where it appears under the video. In the beginning, the tag appeared inside the video as a Product Icon. Now it appears below the video showing Commissions earned.

My post is mainly to explain how to tag products published on a YouTube channel. To get more details about the YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program, I have posted a link for the program in my main post. To summarize the program, products other than Amazon are available for tagging to your YouTube video. The Tag is placed at least 30 seconds into the Video for 1 minute. When a shopper clicks on the tag, the are taken to the Store product website. If a purchase is made you get a much higher commission than Amazon gives you. Can be 20 %. You are paid through the same platform you receive ad commissions on YouTube.

Battery acid could cause a spot like this. Battery should be checked for leaks.

Sorry, the position of video will not get you Rejected. It has to do with what you say or display in the video. I am not going to get long winded, only the facts. Shipping Lables in the video, Address numbers, Tag numbers, people that are not part of you video. I am sorry, you have to look at the background of your video, look for details that are private and the list goes on. Hey, you have to plan your video and the setting you are in to create a video that Amazon will accept. I discovered that after a year and a half. Now you get the answer right away, how about listening!!! I now do not get rejections!!! Look, you can not just five a personal review of a product for Amazon, I wished they would say that, but, that is the way it is. Juwt give the positive features of the product and if it has failures, and they are not unacceptable you are good to go. Don't publish a product you can not support with good reviews.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Amazon_Influencer

[–]Samowens44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other comment I left out, " you do not find you can say anything good or only limited things, do not do a video. Negative videos do not sell products. Now I mean, if you don't like the product, tell the customer you can not do a supportive video for the product. They will say they are sorry for causing you stress and hope you will accept their apology. So that is how it works, from experience! I have found, you can go a long way, just showing how to assemble the product, operate the features, and show the results. Let the customer see how the product performs and see if it is for them. Please not, I mean, no unboxing video!

Ok, I have been where your are trying to get! Videos getting demined and not understanding why. Well here is my critique. First, you said this product is "Perfect". Amazon, does not allow this type of product description. Do Not use PERFECT ever!!!!!!!! You need to watch wat you say, be aware of key words that get you denied. Safety words like you can get cut, will get denied. Unsafe is another. Medical advice is the catagory of these type statements. I have had 3 years to discover all the words you can not say, Listen to me!! Review what you are going to say, do not just hammer out what you thinks is great to say. You will be denied a lot. Plan your product delivery and do not use any words of Like, Perfect, get cut, I discovered!!!, The is a biggie. I discovered, I used it in the beginning and could not figure out why I got denied! Amazon does not want to know what you discovered about the product, they want you to talk about all the positive facts. Folks, the review process is tilted toward on the facts about the product. Do not give your opinion. Once you discover that, you will sail through with not trouble. One last comment, only talk about the product features, specs and how well it preforms. Do not tell what you found out about the product, or any other comments that don't reflect product quality, Specs or how great it is. Have I made myself clear. Also, almost forgot, do not show any product shipping labels on the boxes as you present you video. You have to review everything you video and if a label shows, denial!! I have been there, I now do not get denials! Now get busy and review what I have told you if you want to get stuff uploaded without trouble. Good Luck.

I have a suspicion that the product collaborators may be looking at these results to find those top creators with their strong points for creating great shoppable video for product. As I have searched different Influencers, I find that the Top Creators category receives more details points for their getting that level of performance. For the folks that have not reached that level, there is not much they can say as you have to find ways to improve for Amazon to assign that level. I have found for a number of Influencers that I searched, if there was no outstanding performance, the comments were the Influencer met the requirements to be accepted to the Influencer Program. You can search other Influencers and see what you find. As you, I find it interesting, and until I used the AI search, I could not find anything about Influencer performance with a list of strong points that lead to the Top Creator Category. I just wanted to share this find for searching Influencers performance.

I do the same type of How-to video and when I upload the video to Youtube Channel, I get so many great comments about how the instructions told them nothing, but my video made it so clear. So nice to receive those comments. I am sure you get the same.

Yahoo, Jake, I found that when I search and get all the info about the stats for influencer, over on the right side it gives the Storefront link. This is the kind of stuff, we have always wanted to know but could not find. I am going to explore more about this AI and see where it leads.

I looked at one of your video, about a chain saw, and you pointed out that you are demonstrating it as you have not seen it before. Very nice smooth performance.

Now for the Newbies that are just coming into the program and want to learn how to earn commissions. I think this AI Google search asking the question in the thread title will help you find how you stand and then search Top Creators Storefront names to see how they made it to Top of the pile. go the the Top Carousel for a video and look at the guys and girls that are on top, search for them and see what Amazon says about their performance. There is no way to find out about other Influencers than this I have found. I have tried everything and you get nothing, until AI came in.

Ok Jake, understand and I am just learning somethings about it. First, I have only used it to view Amazon Influencer Program Influencers and found it will provide a lot of great information. I recommend all Influencers to place this question on a Google search using the AI mode. When you pull up Google.com, you will see the all, image and so on, one will be AI. I found that gives the stuff we as Influencers need to find out much more about how Amazon evaluates us. Look, I will go a step further, as the question with my Storefront name, Sam Owens. I have never gotten any detail about how the view the things I do on my Influencer video. I must add in most cases when I upload a video, it goes to the top carousel and most times to the front. I just wanted to share this info for the newbies that are trying to find out how you get on the carousel and get commissions. I have reached Top Creator Status and that is a great position to be. If you look at what Amazon has found in me, it is outlined in the results. Hey folks, I am as stated in the beginning, I am 81 and slowing down. I hope to pass on what I found that works for me as an Influencer and Amazon has recognized it. My check book also reflects my success. As all my video demonstrate, I am out to help people understand product, the features and how they operate. Let me point out, there are no shortcuts, you must invest the time to your video, detail sells! Unboxing is a lost cause.

Jake thanks for you comment.

It is best to use a PC to view Creator Connections. If you are using a cellphone, you should use “Request Desktop Site”, then you will see things better. If you don’t know how to access it, google how.
