Warps With EYES

[papatango72]

Is it feasible to trigger the Warp, as is done with the intellifeed set up, using Eyes from a Halo B(or other) in place of a microswitch? Ideally, the eyes would be mounted in the grip frame of a blowback marker, and would read the position of the bolt.

Qualified answers only please.

1) Intellifeed is 10x more reliable than any eye... What would posess you to change it to an eye?
2) How would you read bolt position from a grip frame? To see paint, eyes generally have to be in the breech... Or are you talking about the psychic eyes that are going to be in the next generation Angels?
2.5) Could you possibly mean trigger position? Even so, why would you replace a surefire thing with something that would only complicate things?

My main question is simply, "Why?"

What part of this did you miss?

What part of "Why" did you miss?

He asked a simple question, just like you did. No reason to be a jerk about it.

im sure u can tinker around and make something work

-Sorry, you're right, I guess the "qualified answers only PLEASE" was in fine print.


1) Intellifeed is 10x more reliable than any eye... What would posess you to change it to an eye?

-Clearance issues, bolt design limitations.


2) How would you read bolt position from a grip frame? To see paint, eyes generally have to be in the breech... Or are you talking about the psychic eyes that are going to be in the next generation Angels?

-No, halo eyes, or a similar config. They don't have to "see" paint in this application. Bolts on blowbacks are exposed above the grip, as the mechanical sear has actual contact with solenoid, grip and bolt.

2.5) Could you possibly mean trigger position?

-No.

Even so, why would you replace a surefire thing with something that would only complicate things?

-Eyes have advantages, just like micro switches; they simply suit the design better, in this instance.


My main question is simply, "Why?"

-If you're willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, I'll tell you.



Hope I answered your questions. Now, is there anyone who cares to post a founded response, or am I looking in the wrong place?

when you say blowback, I think spyder/clones... if thats what you are referring to, then trying to read the bolt from the gripframe would be next to impossible due to the striker being in the way.

That is not what I'm referring to. With all due respect, I'd like to hear from someone with something to ADD to this, and request that enquiries and comments be refrained.

Thanks.

with all due respect.... you asked a generic question about a "blowback" marker, which can be any of lot of designs... including spyders and clones. with that said, and to answer your question "is it feasible" I responded that it is not, because a clear few of the bolt is not possible. Given your lack of specifics, I would say that my post was rather pertinent.

You could possibly make a device that would add eyes to your warp and plug it into the intelifeed port to trigger. You would need a simple beam break circuit that sends a pos or neg pulse to the warp thru the intelifeed port. It would take one or two transistors a resistor or two and a ir led and transistor.
I personally have my revy and warp running off of my gun battery and had the intelifeed wired. Well... one day I lost/broke my ground lead and the gound fed thru the intelifeed wire and POOF! there went my Emag board! Long Story short . No more intelifeed for me.
So an alternate sensor would be nice.

Is it possible? yes
is it Feasable? Depends how much you really want it.

Basicly you will have to make a circuit board that runs the eyes then allows the current for the Warps Intelefeed port to complete when the trigger is pulled. Find a Some one that took Electronic Engineering in College they could probly design it for you, pretty quick.

Missed that up there... Email me the non-disclosure agreement... I'll gladly sign and fax it right back... I'm just curious as to what you're designing... And I finally understand what you're saying And yes, it would work fine...

If you were serious about the non-disclosure agreement, my email address is [email protected]

[trains are bad]

kind of. I have a predator board and the intellifeed feature will trigger the warp if you pull the trigger, even if there is no paintball in the breech. I think if you get one set up for a cocker, it opens the bolt, intellifeeds until it sees a ball, then closes.

Well I already beet you to it. What I have set up with my gun is a warp board in my revo. I have modified my software on the emag to may the eye independent of the gun firing. This means the warp will only spin when there is not a ball loaded into the chamber and will stop as soon as this occurs. You could achieve the same thing by using a warp

To me this make sense because you only need one eye and where it counts, in the breach not the hopper.


Dont believe me.......
