Making your own Intellifeed

[jamphi24]

As above how do you make one (for the angel). I am guessing you need two wires and one of those three pin socket thingys. I was just wondering what are those sockets called so I can get one from maplins (or even better a link to it on the maplins website). And how you put it all together to make an intellifeed.

You will have to search through the Maplin catalogue (new one just released) and or try the same thing with the RS catalogue as the makers of the internal electronics for the Angel (WDP don't make 'em, they are just the customer ) won't give out the names and part numbers for the components, I tried to get the part number for the sockets and plugs for the board and they asked WDP if they could tell me and the answer came back no The parts are not Angel specific they are just used in the construction so they do exist but some detective work is needed. I did find the correct plug in pin number and design unfortunately it was too large...so I wanted a sub minature version and I couldn't find that. If I was able to find that part then you wouldn't need to use the 3 pin plug on the intellifeed rail as you could use anything that suited your needs rather than the WDP version as the cable from the board would be correct. If you have the cable already in place then you will have to resort to the detective work I said above.

the rs stock no. for the plugs is 464-369 goto this site and search.
connect pins 1 & 2 to your hopper motor

I've got those plugs already but I don't have the one that you push onto the LCD board, with the wires that travel though the Anghel's body to the underside of the sight rail.

Don't suppose you know what RS number they are?

It doesn't look like RS do them, which is surprising. The little board plug i mean, they look like 1.5mm pitch, and RS do everything but 1.5mm pitch.

 

[rob_evanson]

1.5 pitch, that's a start. I didn't even know what the little buggers where called. I'll try maplin or fornell.

try asking philip, he likes fiddling with stuff like this....if you find out, post the part numbers up, im sure somone will ask in the future

This is the obligatory "Why not spend 5 extra dollars and just buy one" response. I mean, seriously, you'll wind up saving yourself maybe 5-10 bucks by the time you buy all this stuff, plus you gotta put it together yourself. I might as well also mention that your hopper won't spin as fast as it would with regular batteries (Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know, I know, it spins with each shot, supposedly providing a more consistent ball flow, but it still spins slower since it's running off a 6v battery), and that you'll drain the Angel 6 volt battery much more quickly with the hopper powered. An Egg II or HALO B would be much more effective if you're looking for speed and/or steady ball flow. I am interested in finding out where you can get the board connectors though, that would come in handy for a variety of things.

same connectors on certain sound cards, take yours (or even better some1 elses) PC apart and steal the bits alternatively if you are down at the Nexus training seminar pop across to the tech stand and I have 1 u can have
