hey i hooked up a servo and reciever to my spyder (e99 avant) so now i can shoot from somewhere else (we play in the woods by my friends house) and they'll think i'm there so i can distract them. i have my gun set up on a homemade tripod. the range on the control is 1/4 mile. i only have it set up to pull the trigger. i'm gonna try to work something out so it can turn. i probably cant get it to go up and down though since i only have a 2 channel reciever. ------------- model 98 - homemade handguard solid stock - opsgear mag polished internals homemade sling - paintjob operator barrel progressive barrel opsgear mag - stock |

yeah i'll be carefull. i'll put some pics up. it wont be on the tripod though. and i wish i had a better place to put the electronics. i didnt know anywhere else to put the battery pack. i used a case covered with duct tape to hold the electronics. and yes i kwo the images are blurry. i did the best i could with this cruddy camera.

hook a servo to a leaf switch (microswitch). then use that to trigger a
motor. you can pretty easily mount one switch on each side of the servo
to reverse the polarity on a motor. if you need help let me know ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

not really much to draw in paint just get a small engine from radio shack. get a switch that can reverse current. when you press switch one way, it will turn that way and vice-versa. mount it at neck level to confensate for drop at longer ranges. you figure how to make this work through remote controll as i dont know that kinda stuff. but pretty sure you can buy everything i just listed at radioshack too bad they are way overpriced. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

yeah its already on a tripod but i ran into a problem yesterday. the servo isnt strong enough and the guns offbalance so it leans back a little. even if i reposition stuff its offbalance. i think am only able get it to shoot.i got an idea thoough. i could hook string up to the gun and pull one side for it to go one way and the other string for it to go to the other! i would try the motion thing off of garage lights but i wouldnt know how to hookit up so that when it does sense motion it will shoot. ------------- model 98 - homemade handguard solid stock - opsgear mag polished internals homemade sling - paintjob operator barrel progressive barrel opsgear mag - stock |

Cool. Now all you have to do is hook it up to a special microphone, laser detecter or w/e, and have it be smart and listen for where there is more noise or something and turn and aim itself, then it can shoot things anonemously....

no no no. you dont use the servo as a motor. do you have any idea what servos are for? servos are used to trip microswitches (or "leaf" switches) which in turn trigger more powerful motors. (sorry if i sounded offensive. its just you dont use the servo to turn it, you use the servo to make a bigger motor turn it). ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

You could use a couple of r/c car motors and chain and sprocket to set up movement control. two half moon gears and two heavy duty r/c motors, a camera and a six or eight channel radio would do the trick. left stick- up and down, right stick- left and right. ------------- Don't be scared of church, be scared of HELL!!! |

Whats up,
I read over the post here and had an idea. What if you got a cheap garage door light, took it apart and figured what wires, when tripped send a signal to turn the light on. From there you could figure out a way to hook it up to your switch that way when someone tripped the sensor it would automatically fire. I really dont know much about this except from when I was younger and always took things apart. See if any of this may help, if not sorry for wasting you time lol. Rusty -------------

am i the only one hear that doesnt know what a servo is? anyway, you should get a trip wire, so when the wire is stepped on, the gun will shoot, so itll be lined up and know someone is there, then have the floodlight on so everyone knows he was shot and he cant wipe -------------

servo: rotates slowly forward or backward using remote control. used to turn wheels in r/c cars, adjust flaps and ailerons in r/c planes, etc. this one spins into trigger, causing it to fire. nifty idea. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

The only way I can think of figuring out how to hook it up is getting one of those volt meters to see which wire kicks on when the sensor on the flood light is trigured. If you can figure out which wire that is after that, hook it up to your servo and see if it sends enough juice to it to make it run. Thats the only way I can think of doing it. There probably many more ways of doing it but thats the only way I can think of it.

what about if you lightened the trigger pull on the
gun or possibly created an extended trigger so that theres move
leverage so the servo wouldnt have to work as hard to pull the trigger?

the garage light idea wouldnt work unless you had two of them perfectly aligned. the garage lights work only because when an object breaks the beam connected to both the lasers, it senses the break, so you could not do it with one light because there would'nt be another laser reciever. ------------- stop whining an play |

Ok, so I just found the thread and wanted to help out if I could... First The garage idea would work but only as a line-of-sight, sort of an invisible trip-wire. The motion sensors for the outside flood lights are simple and sold seperate from the lights at any home depot. The kill switch for the garage door needs both a transmitter and reciever to work so that wouldnt help, they work prety much like the ball-break eyes. I mounted a torn down Mac10 airsoft gun to my RS4 touring car and it worked perfectly, all I did was use the circuitry from a small servo to act a microswitch so when you sent the signal to the cars reciever instead of turning a servo it sent power to the motor that fired the pellet, or in your case would send power to the solenoid. Unfortunatly my friends got the same idea and I had to lay my car to rest...  . Kuhndog, I'll see what I can rig up for you. My g/f is probably gonna kill me but I guess I'm gonna be borrowing her garage light and E-99 for alittle while  .It might take me alittle while but I'll post anything I come up with.

| I wouldn't use the same method on a marker as I did on my Mac10. I couldnt rig the servo board to return to neutral when there was no input signal so it would spin in reverse(counterclockwise). I slowed it down so it would only spin slowly in reverse but at full speed when spinning forward(clockwise). I had to change some of the internals alittle to alow it to free-spin in reverse but thats how I got that to work... If you did the same thing to the e-trigger on your marker the solenoid would probably hold itself in one position and overheat. The best idea is to use the sensor from the garage flood lights and rig it to a standard servo that will trip the trigger. I just picked up the light sensor and the E-99 so I'll get to work. |

 turn the servo one way, it turns the motor one way, turn the servo ther other way, the wires are opposite so it turns the other way. you make it push the switch as long as you want to turn it then turn it a bit the other way so that its not depressing either switch to make it not move.

I dunno, a standard motion sensor is too broad. When someone enters the general area, the thing will go off, scaring them around somewhere else. I would think the object would to be get as many eliminations as possible, and the infrared sensors of the garage door are more precise. So here's my idea: Use it like a trip-wire. Have your auto-Spyder "turret" set up hidden behind a tree or whatever, but so the barrel points past it. If you want, drape a layer of ghillie or some other kind of 3D cammo on it. Mount sensor on one of the tripod legs, but so it is parallel to the barrel of the Spyder, and mount the other to a stake so it can be placed where ever you think people would walk across. The cord that connects the two sensors should be long enough, but I'm sure you can make it longer without a problem. Most sensors have a light that lets you know when the beam is connected. When you get the light, just stake it there. The whole device will be powered by a conveniently placed car battery under the tripod. Whenever someone breaks the beam, the servo is tripped, and the gun starts firing. He's out by a "ghost." The toughest part will be wiring the sensors to trip the servo. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

No you could just wire it into the same circuit that turns off the LED. One problem with that idea: No one is goin to go out if there isnt a witness there to see them get shot. *IDEA* Put a digi cam on it and make it take a picture a second or so after it fires.
