Our first step is to cut a hole for the servo to sit in that holds the airsoft turret. |
|
Next up is to mount the servo and lower part of the cradle to the plexy. Hot glue in layers worked very well for this. |
|
Now mount the electronics to the turret base. In our project here we have the battery to the radio receiver, radio receiver, usb servo controller, and relay kit. |
|
Next we will be using a small terminal block for the power distribution system. The power supply we are using is a 12V 1000MA supply. It seems to drive the guns just fine and increase their rate of fire by about 50%. |
|
Next using a spare servo horn cut it down to the minimum size to keep the threads and enough surface area so you can glue it to the shaft coming out from the inner part of the cradle. |
|
Finaly bend an "L" shaped piece of aluminum to be used as a mounting flange for the servo. Use a self tapping screw or pop rivet to secure it to the main part of the lower cradle. Test for up down movement. If you didn’t mount the inner cradle to the center of the balance point for the turret you can adjust it by attaching counter weights. This will reduce servo stress and increase battery time if you build it out for RC use. |
