    Reducing warp dwell beyond 4 jumpers

    I have a warp feed with a 12v mod, intellifed by a predator morlock. The problem I have is that the warp dwells too long after the intellifeed signal.

    You can add jumpers to the warp board to reduce the dwell. Now, at 9v you can reduce it to almost nothing. But with the 12v mod most know that you are going to have all 4 jumpers on there and still have an appreciable dwell going on. Since the predator morlock sends a timed pulse, and the warp dwells after that, it's just too long. Like a second.

    So I can either

    reduce the voltage to the warp with a odd voltage regulator (don't want to go all the way back to 9v, but I could try that, it's pretty fast)

    find some other way to get the dwell on the warp board down to next to nothing, though I don't know much about electronics there has to be a way

    or

    get a way to get a shorter signal from the predator morlock.

    Does it work good? Does it not rip like mad? I would just put some silicone oil on the wheels and forgetabout it. A second is not too bad.

      well, yeah, it works fine. I mean it's just irritating. And probably not the most battery efficient.

        Does the Predator still have dual solenoid control? If so, you can technically treat the Warp as a second solenoid and send that output from the board directly to the motor. You'll have an 18V Warp with independent dwell control when you program the board for dual-solenoid control.

        I have this setup on my E-Mag and it has been running strong since the day I came up with the idea to use the second output on the Morlock for the Warp. I have the dwell set so it feeds exactly 1.5 balls per trigger pull and NEVER have I had chopping problems. In fact, I never broke paint in that gun either.
