Auto Dandy trickler

[itchy]

I don't post here very much. Most of my posting has been on accurate shooter (under itchyTF). Haven't been doing much shooting of anything for the past few years. I did this project to keep the brain busy. So, if anyone has an FX-120i and a Dandy trickler and would like to have it automated, let me know and I'll post an ad. Here are 3 youtube videos to give you an idea what it's about.

Very good engineering.

Have you tried working with the TRX-925? I'd like something for that scale. It is a more attainable scale at this point with excellent accuracy.

Also, have you considered a Rasberry Pi as your controller. I think it might be simpler to program. I'm not sure as I'm not quite there yet.

No, I would need one to work with.

Well, they are $250 when on sale and they might give you a T&E to work with. I talked to them and they wanted to work something out with Autotrickler, but I think that guy is kind of at his limit supporting the 1 scale he supports….just a thought.

I didn't consider a Pi since I already had a Mega. Programming is done.

I contacted Creedmoor and their response was -
At this time, we do not have a T&E scale available. Please check back with us later and we might be able to help you.

I wonder how much later.

They said to check back in a couple of months.

Creedmoor said they tried sending me one 3 times! Never got one and none returned to them. They are trying once more using FedEx. If that doesn't work, no more. Can't say I blame them.

That's weird. USPS has been pretty good lately!
