Hi... I'm having problems getting the recoil to work properly on my IBU2 ultimate full option board.. It goes back but doesn't come all the way out. The next fire make barrel come all the way out and stops there.. If I plug in the single wire to the negative contact the recoil goes off all on its own and keeps going till I unplug the wire again. Has anybody any ideas... If possible could someone run me through where the wires in the picture plug into on the IBU2 ultimate full option..TIA.

A 10 Ohm 2 Watts resistor placed is series to the positive line should work and fix the problem

Hi Colin,
Assuming you have a mechanical recoil and not the airsoft unit :

The black single wire should be connected, if as you said the recoil wont stop the issue probably come from the EOT microswitch.
The setting on ibu2u.ini file as per line below :
;Mechanical recoil/airsoft setup
MrType=0;0=mechanical recoil, 1=mechanical airsoft
MrPulseTime=500;Duration recoil pulse, minimum value 100, maximum value 9999 (milliseconds) used only for recoil type 0
Allow to set the pulse time in recoil mode

If you have the airsof unit you only have to set MrType line to 1

Let me know...
Cheers

Cheers guys for the answers. I went with theibumans suggestion and it worked.. Thankyou....

Hi Colin,

Fine, glad you fixed the issue but, (just in order to help other forum users who may run into same thing), which was the problem ?

Thanks
Ivano

Hi.... In the ini file it was setup as airsoft unit .Changed it to mechanical and away it went.... Thanks again....

I had issues with taigen recoil, the ibu doesn't use the limit switch and purely pulse length. The problem is that to get the recoil working right this needs to be spot on and as your battery drains it changes so every so many cycles your barrel gets stuck.

I have thought the best way might be to wire it up like a tamiya recoil and use the tamiya port. But I've not tried it

Thank you! Elmod is better ? .
