Now it works perfectly, thank you very much, now I will continue testing things, this is a great project with more memory, more processor and a world of functions that can be added like the analog ones :lol

Nice, glad to hear it!
btw, how's the Top Shot for modding? I had considered getting one for a custom mod myself after wrapping up my CyberGun, but I ended up getting a Big Buck Hunter plug'n'play gun instead. The only problem with it, really, is how the pump action has its screws hidden beneath plastic caps that, far as I can tell, are part of the top mold and can't be removed - so I have to drill into it just to disassemble. It's a royal PITA.

Hands up for this amazing project. :cheers:
Open source is always better, and acknowledging other people's works is a well-mannered move.
Thank you for your work and your time.
:applaud:

I'm heading down the rabbit hole of Gun4IR vs Lichtknarre, and now this project appeared! Question, does it matter which Pico I get? I'm seeing models online with bigger flash sizes. Is 2MB all I'd need for solenoid support and all that jazz?

On that note, how are you powering the solenoid? I think Gun4IR still needs a separate power supply.

Good problem to have when it comes to lightguns :)

Power requirements for solenoids will be dependent on the size of the solenoid. There's no way around that part of the equation. If you just want a small click for a little while, a big capacitor and a small solenoid on USB power might get you through. But if you want to slam a heavy receiver action back and forth until the plastic around it melts from the heat, or anything which might approach an actual recoil, you'll need external power :)
