Andrew already built 4 sets of working ones. The controllers use just normal servos. He recycles so much of the XU1, he even mounts the controller inside the XU1 battery case
I believe Andrew showed Jeff J how to build them back in 2004 at the Annihilator and also provided a set for Chris Goode's robot SharpShooter.
Andrew justs makes his with a XU1 Drill Trigger, a small bit of MDF (could use polycarb) 2 microswitches, a normal servo, a bit of polycarb for the servo arm (Special shape he design to actuate the trigger in both directions and switch the micros at the same time.... Genius hey ), a 15mm piece of welding rod, a few screws and the XU1 battery case.
The finished produce, a variable speed, fwd/rev 12-24v controller with current limited at around 15-16amps (XU1 Triggers) for the cost of the left over parts and a few hours building
With Spektrum goodness, it would definately be a cheap solution for those who don't want to have to fork out for failsafes as well Mmmm..... Bringing this topic back to the surface makes me want to build a set to put in a few of those half finished bots I have lying around _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
