Aftermarket Blackbird Auger

Ok thanks. Good info to share.

I will try the higher settings just to see what happens though. There actually might be a sweet spot that will allow me to loosen the clutch.

That's what I was thinking. Same with the motor speed, as you well know.

BTW, I had an issue with my homemade latch plate, like you had. I had to grind a bit of plastic on my first Drozd to make it fit perfect.

In this third part I do some fooling around with the pulse, but not much. I will do more when I go back up to 4K. I really want to leave no stone unturned so I jumped back down to 3K for more testing with the 4K RPM motor, and the 18.5 V battery pack.

I finally got around to ordering some N42 diametrically polarized 1/8" X 1/4" magnets for TBK's auger. I ordered seven of them so I can almost span the entire length just to see what happens.

I received the magnets yesterday, and filled up the auger. I tried it with the 10K motor with an 18.5V pack. I only tried it with the plate out of the mag, and it didn't feed properly.

I was just thinking some more about how I can use my stock with the MSC in it. Since I have it wired directly to the board I can try decreasing the voltage, and upping the pulse. That will at least give me some range to play with. I haven't been feeling too good lately because all of the pollen in the air so I haven't felt like doing mush testing lately. That reminds me. Hey Fred. I can ship you a garbage bag full of pollen, and a jug of mosquito larvae if you want.
