SpeedyTrickler

Evening everyone!

Greetings from Finland!

I have been lurking in here quite some time and I have been also working with some little project.

I call it SpeedyTrickler. There is plenty of tricklers out there, but not good open source one.

This one is trying to fix that.

First design was based on printedprecision trickler, but I redesigned it completely as it was just copy of it. Now it features unique design with two disc feeding system and under one second first throw, which seems to be accurate to 0.05 grams (0.1grain).

It's looking promising for sub 5 second throw times for normal 308. Win Loads with vv n150.

I'll keep this open source and start to upload files as soon as the design is refined enough.

Support is coming first to gg jj100b balance and then maybe for fx120i.

Cheers everyone!

Very nice work. Do you have the files published somewhere?

Trickler is physically now complete, but I still need to finish software for this.
It's running on arduino nano.

Files are not yet available to download, but I'm making GitHub site at some point for this project.

Nice, what is the average drop time?

How does it do with ball powders?

Hello,

Software for this is still work in progress, so drop times are not known yet. I can't promise, but I think it will settle somewhere between 4 and 7 seconds.

I don't have ball powders, but I don't see reason why it wouldn't work.

GitHub site is now open: https://github.com/porridgeboy/SpeedyTrickler

After the code is somewhat complete I will start to upload files.
