Intellifeed revvy....

[Mario]

can i intellifeed my a4? is this possible? ppl said it wasn't possible on the speed but the connector is there for it to be done... i seem to remember something about batteries and stuff...within the marker.

anyway any help would be appreciated....

vive la revvy btw...best hopper in the world

The battery for the 4 and Speed is alot smaller than previous angels (4.8v compared to 6v), so it doesn't power the hopper all that well, from what I'm told. Plus, trying to get the wire up through the sight rail is almost impossible, it's really tight in the solenoid cavity now because the body is so small.

ah right cool

cheers dr.

If you really want an intellifeed revvy though, you might try splicing into the solenoid wires, and then running those to the revvy's board where the sensor goes. That way it'd only spin when the solenoid's powered (i.e., when you pull the trigger), and you could leave your revvy powered by 9 volts still. I've never done this, but it seems like, theoretically, it could work. I wouldn't do it, but if it's that important to you...

 

[Mario]

it's not that important really...just wondering. i might go and spend an afternoon with frazer and see if we can get round it in any way....

cheers anyway dr.

i read something somewhere about using the signal from an intellifeed to trigger a relay to operate an egg......still with the normal batterys in the egg so it doesnt actually use the markers batter to spin the hopper....no reason why the same system couldnt opperate any hopper really

Yeah that could be done.
From what i read its the space near the solenoid which makes it almost impossible to fit a socketed sight rail in the A4.

I milled out a recess for my socket in the sight rail on my IR3 and put in my own socket which is much less bulky than the WDP one. I dont know if this could be done on the A4.

Splicing the wires going to the solenoid could be done, but you will still need the batteries and extra circuitry.

For a revvy you want a bigger pulse than just the dwell time, also you need to make sure you arent drawing any current from the solenoid.

You would need a monostable timing circuit, with a very high input impedance, which outputs to a relay like the one in the intelifeed egg.

But it could be done...............
