you can get prebuilt and preprogramed mosfets for anywhere from 20-150$

just an idea for whats out there and what you can do with a mosfet. http://www.awsairsoft.com

Thanks Durak!

I'd more than likely like something that I could build myself, I'm pretty good with electronics and probably would get more satistfaction if I learned how to do it myself and then I can do it for others locally. I'm pretty experienced with complex circuits and schematics but the programming would be the bottleneck. I'd need something pre-programmed or I'd have to do a hell of alot of learning.

The code is all custom. As far as I know you can't buy ATTINY85 microcontrollers pre-programmed as airsoft fire control units. The industry, even world-wide, isn't big enough yet for anybody to bother. The current code in the TriggerMasters is available as open-source, but you'd still need to know how to load it in the Studio software, compile it, and have the ROM burner to program the ATTINY85 with the compiled code.

You'd think you'd be able to do burst and speed with an analog controller. Like a 555 timer and a variable setting switch of some sort. There has to be an easier way. The hard part is timing it with the gearbox cycle I guess.
