So I love trap shooting. I like rifles OK (still the "NRA ranks passed per year" record holder at Camp Towering Pines!), and pistols are growing on me, but trap and skeet are what dad and I shot every Sunday.
Problem: Unlike the trap/skeet clubs where I shot growing up, Red Castle isn't some hoity-toity place with pullers on staff, so I need to bring someone to push buttons. I hate having to con/coerce someone into going with me just so I can shoot, and I don't want to mash the buttons on the controllers with my foot because I don't want to break them.
Does anyone know of a foot-pedal type controller that will plug into the outlets on the RC trap/skeet fields (they're whatever plug the standard Winchester/Western controllers use)? All I can find through Google are remotes that are meant to attach to specific brands of throwers, and require a little more in-depth wiring than I want to do on machines I don't own.
I met a guy there once who built his own, but unfortunately I neglected to ask what kind of plug and cables you need. I've read wiring diagrams for the controllers, and they're really really simple so I'm confident I can gin something up with my soldering iron, but I still need to know what kind of materials to order from Digikey.
E: Also if we get this figured out, I'd be willing to make these for cost of materials + $20 or something because I'm a grad student and my time is cheap.
