Boardless electro-pnuematic automag. Possible?

Last time I sold my soul to the devil it turned out pretty good(the classic sleeper) so why not again?

So I may need to do some shopping

I'm so jealous you guys actually know what you're doing. All I want is an electric trigger that shoots semi when turned on and stops shooting when turned off.

We almost never know what we are doing. lol

Its more "what would happen if we do this" type of thing.

You need to consider battery efficiency with any designed circuit. The problem with most adhoc timed circuits is a wasted amount of power. That is where tiny programmable circuits come into their own.

You can get everything you want in a simple 8 pin tiny AVR for about $1.75. The outputs of these can drive 40mA of current to supply any power transistors you need to operate a solenoid. There are 6 I/O pins so you can program eyes into it. For a simple semi marker with eyes, it doesn't get any simpler than that. I know it needs a programmer and you can buy one ready to go for $22.00. That'll give you the option of programming most AVR devices.

Spyder board on amazon for 13 bucks ... here is the link

Wow. You are totally speaking Latin to me. I never knew how little I understood electronics.

I'll have to start reading up on some stuff.
