Recoil wiring
« on: October 21, 2020, 11:12:30 PM »
I wired my Taigen perfectly using the video and going to get a servo system for KT
but trying to fit Stug with recoil for TCB and slightly confused with this set up as to which wires
would be for positive / negative / signal  for the 3 pin plug?


In my diagram number #1  would be the positive to motor.

But unsure which of the others would be the negative and signal.

Any help appreciated :)

My unit has a flash not airsoft but will look as the mechanism may be more similar or the same as what this is. Thanks!

I have not seen that kind of airsoft unit before but assuming it operates like all the others it should not be difficult to wire it correctly. Jurgen is right, the diagram on the page he linked to makes it about as simple as it can, I have re-posted the relevant part here.

Now it's true, in your picture the switch at the rear of the unit is different from normal in that it appears to have 3 contacts instead of two. I'm assuming the third contact at the very back is used to trigger a flash or something. Just ignore that third contact and let the TCB take care of the flash. Try getting the airsoft to work first, then we can deal with the flash if that is still an issue.

Isn't that an old Taigen/HL recoil unit, not an airsoft?  Are you saying they are wired the same? Makes sense though, just a motor moving until switch opens/closes....

Ok, I guess I had not seen that before. You can see the mechanical recoil page for instructions on how to wire those. Your unit looks different from the one in my example, but anyway, the principle is basically the same between all these recoil/airsoft units. There is a motor that requires two wires, and a switch with two contacts, one side of the switch is attached to the negative motor terminal, the other side of the switch goes to the "trigger/signal" terminal on the TCB. If you can wire it correctly, and then select "Mechanical Recoil" in OP Config, it should work.

Let us know your results.

Thanks Luke,

What happens differently (or nothing) to the recoil
3 pin out puts as labeled on the bottom of the TCB (pos neg and signal) when switched from
Mechanical recoil to Airsoft?

Very simple..works. Just wired up according to that schematic you sent and works
fine on mechanical recoil setting. Thanks!

The difference between the two is the order in which things are performed. You will not get the correct behavior if you set OP Config to airsoft when you have mechanical recoil or vice versa, but it will not break the board.
