I've noticed that the view loaders hooked up to angels are guted and a wire hooked to the servo. What wires from the viewloader's servo do I hook up to the intelifeed? Also I,m running a warp feed to. Do I half to do anything diffrent to use both of them? Thanks

What you need to do is buy a rail to hopper Intellifeed wire. Assuming you have a C+C IR3. If you have a regular IR3 you will also need the board to rail wire and some drilling and tapping will be required. In either case, the wire that runs from your sight rail to the hopper contains 2 indiviual wires. Simply solder one connection to one post on the servo and the other connection to the other post and then close it all up.
Please remember to observe proper polarity as hooking the wires up in reverse will cause your impeller to spin backwards. Test your hookups before finallizing with solder.
You shouldn't need to do anything to the warp feed as long as your pressure plate is adjusted correctly.

Thanks Doc.
I have my warp feed hooked to my intelifeed, and disabaled the sesitivity part. Is there a certain way I need to hook up the warp feed and veiw loader to work together on the same trigger pull, or is that not possible?
Thanks Everyone For Your Replies.

To the best of my knowledge, there is currently no way to hook up both the revy and the warp to intellifeed at the same time. It's either one or the other.
My suggestion would be to wire intellifeed to the hopper and use the pressure plate for the warp. Your revy will have a harder time keeping up with the warp than the warp will have keeping up with the revy. For that reason, you want your hopper feeding as fast as possible and that's why I recomended what I did.

I agree with Doc that you need the hopper to run it's fastest cuz the warp is limited to the hopper feed rate...
However, with my experience... using intellifeed to the hopper actually slowed the hopper down... the benefit of using the intellifeed to the hopper is so you don't need to use batteries and it made it lighter... I can visually see and hear a big difference in the speed using intellifeed vs batteries in the hopper.
I think the maximum setup for a hopper and warp is to use the batteries for the hopper and use the intellifeed wire to feed the warp.

Where can you get the wire from in California?
