Hi! I was looking for a Maker like you for a long time. There is nobody to make like this project but you did. I am working on Airsoft toys and I have couple of questions, can you answer me please. I will make HPA. Firstly I will use a 555 pulse circuit for trigger to pneumatic selenoid valve. I will measure selenoid's open time with circuit. There will be a small piston behind barrel. When push down the trigger piston goes forward and give a BB to barrel and same time high pressure gas flow the barrel. Gas will pass inside of the piston. After that, timer circuit automatically cut the electric and piston goes back with a spring. Can add full auto mod. I will make all high pressure parts with brass, I have everytool what I need. I only don't know is this will be best design. There is nobody to make like this project on TH-cam or anywhere, I need you. Help me please. How did you do your HPA system, Can you make a video about working principle and details? Thank you very much
Cheers, superb description, I am very new to the hobby but have just built my son a Gryphon however my daughter found it hard to pull the trigger so I have made another gun and redesigned the Gryphon to take a solenoid, ive fets and flybacks fitted in the stock tube on a nice barrel bracket and have wired an Ardunio Nano in to the lid that sits on the top of the gun, I have found open loop control has been just fine using my program, what I did was to put 2 small potentiometers on the top of the gun and 4 way selector for single shot, auto, adjustable auto (via the pots) so I can adjust pulse time and time between pulses and we have a sentry mode (fires from a gun mounted movement detector) its really working very well, I have PWM control of the drive motors so I can wind it down for the kids, semi auto seems very reliable, I have low battery cut off set quite modestly at 10.7V (3S pack) hitting around 10dps which in a 12 shot talon is silly fast anyway, like the idea of the closed loop though and something I may think of doing for my next build, I also unwrapped the solenoid and fitted a tmp36 temp sensor so I can monitor the coil temp of the solenoid, I have a small ic2 display on the top that displays temps and volts and beeps and cuts the power under any fault, I was aware there were programs and boards out there but Arduino is fun to program for me as is the 3D design and printing stuff I would rather just do it myself, thats where all the fun is :-) solid explanation mate so thanks.
That's a pretty intense build, but good work for getting it all together. You should do a post on Reddit or over of the Facebook groups, if you haven't already.
@@AirzonesBlasters also I was wondering, if I wanted to get a couple closed loop esc’s how would I go about it. Is the only way right now to buy the parts and make them myself?

I have a write up on Reddit somewhere
@@AirzonesBlasters I found it, thanks
Look up on TH-cam Prophecy HPA mod auto and there's a extremely detailed explanation
Super Helpful! Thankyou for making this video!
Ideas.. swap wire to high pitch screw. Lose the microsteps. Or use closed loop solenoids
Is there a write up/further references to look at, particularly on the hall effect sensor design?
Wait wot

What about an IR gate to detect the retracted pusher with the hall effect sensor to detect extended pusher?
That works too
great explanation, thank you! :)
Thanks for sharing this! Am currently designing a cosplay gun (AR2 from HL2) so really useful to see how others achieve closed loop solenoid control
hi airzone, would i be able to run a solenoid with dc motors with a narfduino micro or will i need another mosfet?
You'll need another mosfet, as well as using a full Narfduino, not a Narfduino Brushless Micro
@@AirzonesBlasters i’m in america so i can’t get a narfduino 😅
Keep an eye on Out Of Dart's webpage. I'm sending them some more shortly.
Are your Narfduino motors and esc for sale and if yes, where?
I'm working on the commercials to make this a reality.
Cool I can’t wait
When do you think you will finish because I was hoping to make a brushless build but I want to make sure I use your superior product.
Damn ur channel blew up
Wonderful explanation
this was super helpful, would you be willing to make a video on how closed loop ESC's work, and their advantages and maybe the coding around them?
Yeah I'll add it to the list.
@@AirzonesBlasters also I was wondering, if I wanted to get a couple closed loop esc’s how would I go about it. Is the only way right now to buy the parts and make them myself?
Airzone can you please respond to you redit DMS, I really need you help
I have. Although check out discord because I don't open reddit's chat very often.
Thank you, what is your discord?
@@flywheelmaster929 Reddit nerf.. The invite is linked in /r/nerf
Did you find it because I need to ask Airzone something also, if so pls tell me thanks
@@ratas6431 yeah do you want me to send an invite here for you
