I fired a gun with a binary trigger and it's a lot of fun. However, I had one problem. The barrel rises due to the mostly continuous fire. How do you control the gun so it doesn't rise?

Lean into it.
"Near continuous" fire or full auto is not mean for point target but area target. Yes there's alot of smg's and similar guns that have a ROF that is controllable with practice. But there really isn't much for an ar to make auto much more controllable. You could put a brake on it and that would help. But the best advice is to lean into it and practice.

Practicing will be expensive. I could go through a 33 rd mag in less than 10 sec.
But it only money.
this is the correct answer, but also worth noting that in real use situations FA is primarily used in short bursts to remain on target. The only time you ever conceivably use a full dump would be a very target rich close-quarters firefight, or to keep heads down (and bursts are still better for that)
My suggestion would be to practice getting both rounds of the binary "burst" on target close together, which gives you the actual functionally important result and fundamentals.
Controlling barrel rise with a binary trigger requires a combination of technique and equipment. First, ensure you have a firm grip on the gun, with your dominant hand high on the grip and your support hand pulling the gun back into your shoulder. This helps stabilize the rifle. Leaning slightly into the gun can also help manage recoil. Consider using a muzzle brake or compensator designed to reduce muzzle rise. These devices redirect gases to counteract the upward motion. Practicing proper shooting stance and grip along with using the right accessories can make a big difference.
Feet just outside shoulder width apart, lead foot forward and lean into the rifle. With a little practice its easy to make your shots go where ya want
You don't even need a binary trigger for that.
There's software solutions and hardware solutions and a combination of both being the best solution.
Or you could just stop wasting ammo.

Went through an urban marksmanship course in VA along with a friend of mine who is former mil (USMC), both of us using rifles with fostech echo IIs (so much nicer than the Franklin) last weekend, was pretty brutal with the heat, but some interesting results.
opinion of said friend is that the binary mechanism is actually better for the doctrine of marksmanship + controlled pairs that non-mil people should be using for competition and to make best use of ammo, since civilians don't have the logistical supply or squad tactics to support a suppressive fire doctrine implementation.
I think it's an interesting take, and makes a lot of sense, since the release stroke is less likely to disturb aim, and can be held for a moment if you're off target

I read a supposedly real fudd post where someone's point of contention was "what if they call a cold range before I've let off the trigger?"
