Inflating blimpduino

Posted by BOfH on July 12, 2010 at 9:02am
Folks,

I have build my Blimpduino but I'm having trouble working out how to inflate the envolope.  I have a little bit that sticks out of the side, which looks like a hole covered in transparent plasic.  As far as I can tell, this bit is sealed from the rest of the envelope.  How is one meant to fill and seal the envolope?  I can't work out if I'm being thick or if there is actually something wrong with the envolope :-)

Thanks.

    You need to just put the nozzle of your helium tank under the transparent flap of plastic at that hole. The pressure of the helium will open the seal. It will automatically close again after you fill, so the gas doesn't leak out.
