The 2 hall effect sensors i used are capable of detecting 9 different magazine sizes between them (and only using 2 inputs in the arduino). Thats more than enough for all the nerf magazines: 6, 12, 18, and 18, 25, 36 drums. But yes could add a 4 bank dip switch accessible from outside somewhere. But the magnets i used were like $3 for 50 on ebay, and only takes a few seconds to add one to a clip.

 

Btw if anyone wants the Arduino code for the circuit above, happy to share.

please do share the code (pastebin it - I assume at least 100+ lines of code)

Never heard of that kinda switch

They are SPST switch banks used mostly in the 80's and 90's arcade machines, replacing jumper blocks (pins shorted or not shorted to set 1/0) not very common anymore

for unmarked clips a 4 bank dip switch could be used in a 2-6-10-25 should be able to cover any standard clip with only 4 io

Can you post better pictures and explanations for the wiring to the master switch? Is it between the battery and the rev trigger? If so did you keep the rev to trigger lock?

The switch is connected to red wire on the battery pack and red wire on the pcb.

Yes I did leave in the rev to trigger lock, no reason to leave them in.

mixing batteries as you have will ether damage the AA's and/or the trustfires, battery types should never be mixed
