I am looking into making one but I would buy one to save me the time and headaches. I would gladly buy from Kingbob, seeing and reading about his counters on here.

I would want two changes that I will pay extra for:

-counts up instead of counting down 

-smaller 7 segment screen that can fit in the back of the top rail of a rayven.

Nice. How much were you thinking on selling a kit for?

Measured them, they're 9.5x13mm.

Heres 2 on the back of my Rayven.

That's look great. That right where I want it to be.

That's sweet looking, wouldn't be hard to include a reset switch near the mag release button especially in some battery guns

I was thinking of having it inside the mag well so putting a clip in would hit the switch and reset it.

Of course then its a matter of stopping it counting at the right value. Otherwise if you keep pulling the trigger it'd keep counting.

 

The 7 segment displays i used are about 18mm high from memory, they're the smallest i could find.

That's on the user to know what size clip they put in and how full it is. It just need to reset to 0 when the clip is change.

What the length of that display? That might work, I need to take a took on rayven where I want it.

If you had posted this a week earlier, I would be in, with 4 others. Conflicts have arisen, but I'll be on the lookout in the future.

I post it weeks ago but days later the site went down. But I will see how it goes.

How insulated are your motor wires? Proper silicone or teflon insulated 18 or 16awg?

Also, is there any electrical wiring in common between the board and your motors?

I believe the motor wires are 18 gauge I bought it from radio shack a long time ago.

There is no common wiring, each is on it's own system.

I am getting a new counter with an EMI decoupler in tomorrow. I will post how it goes and if it doesn't work, I will get pictures.

I have been having an issue with installing an internal ammo counter that I have tried with counters form two different makers. The issue is that when the flywheel motors rev up, the counter resets. I actually have burnt out two arduinos. The blaster has a Dr Snikkas metal flywheel cage, MTB 130 rhinos, and is power by 3 IMRs for 11.1 volts. And the counter is power by 4 standard AA and have pretty thin wires,

If anyone know how to fix it or even just an idea, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Then I'm puzzled how activating your motors is burning out your board. I doubt there's enough inductive current able to be transmitted from the motors to the board's circuits to do it. Not with proper insulation on the 18awg.

Does the board fry when there's a dart passing through the IR beam or when the motors spin up regardless of if there's a dart breaking the beam or not?

The burning out the board was probably my fault, But that haven't be main issue. The main issue is that when I rev the motors it resets the counter. I am in the process of changing out the wiring to 18 gauge with insulation of 0.82 instant of 0.42. 

The insulation shouldn't make any difference in this case.  The only real reason that silicone insulation is preferred is the flexibility provided.  I doubt that there is enough voltage being generated by the field to break through the insulation and the air gap.  However, I would not be surprised if the EMI from the current driving the motors were high enough to induce enough current to zap the data lines.

 Is there any way to protect from that?

Is your board isolated from the motors electrically? That is, your ammo counting board has no electrical connections to the motor circuits?

Also, what blaster is this? Rapidstrike, hyperfire, or a stryfe variant (stryfe, raven, demolisher, or other mechanical pusher blaster)?

How are you counting shots, btw?

The wires for both the motor and counter run next to each other down the my strayven. And the shots are counter by IR sensors attach to the brass  barrel of the flywheel cage.

Does anyone else beside coatduck and Dr. Snikkas makes sell after market flywheel cages for the rayven?

I was in Batteries+Bulbs in Hanover and I started talking to an employee. He told me that a half of dozen nerfers came in looking for batteries and one of them spoke of warring in Boston Common. Have anyone heard of this war? Playing in the common sounds like fun but I can't find any information about it.
