angel project?

[jahlad]

ok i might build something other than a cocker at some point this year, am thinking of an doing an angel, plan so far is to pick up a 2nd hand lcd, fit a space frame or possibly one of the other 90* frames that are about on the internet, the trantula one looks nice and to rip out all the electronics and replace the lot with a morlock......

thoughts anyone?

come on tom, i know you will have a couple of ideas

Apart from the Blue beasties in "The Time Machine", whats a Morlock?

A circuit board.

The WAS board is faster I think, and has debounce.
Check this out

Oh yeah, proper BO stuff to go on a custom angel.

Magnetic trigger return and intelifeed evo.

and how would anybody go about making the magnetic trigger on an angel?? jus wondeing!

The way i did it was very simple.

I bought several rare earth magnets from maplins, attached them to different length rods (for adjustment) and araldited another magnet to the body of my angel.

The rods go where the return spring would normally.

been done already, jack wood did it (or at least i think it was him) on a couple of the markers k2 used to use (again i think it was them)
was definatly an eclipse lcd frame with a magno trigger anyway

intellifeeding an evo would be fairly easy too i think, just a case of ditching the circuit and wiring the motor direct to the angel

interesting point the morlock has a 2nd output that can be used for hopper feed, so if you did put one in an angel then you could intellifeed any hopper!

 

[John C]

So the WAS board doesnt have an intelifeed output ?

About the intelifeed evo you need to leave the batteries in and use a relay to drive the motor using the normal intelifeed output as signal.



I cant really think of anything else you can do to an angel which gives any performance benefit, If there was I would have done it by now.

yeah theres not a tonne of stuff you can do to angels as it has pritty much already been done.....but changing the board completely is something ive not seen.
from what ive been reading dynasty were using was boards last year!
am gonna do a bit more rooting about later and see what i can turn up
