How do you go about doing that? Without an AT3 or 4, what are the brains/controller that run the trickler? If it's going to be several more months before delivery of the complete systems (wish we knew!) I'd be open to that as an interim solution, but I haven't understood how it would be controlled.

V3 Electronics
V3 Electronics are compatible with all versions of AutoTrickler for A&D scales. Functionally these electronics are exactly the same as V1 and V2 electronics except that you can also use the AutoTrickler app on your mobile phone / tablet to set the target weight and control the AutoTrickler much...

As posted above, you just need the v3 electronics for it to know when to do what. Just like when you first get the V3, you install the electronics in the back of the scale which has a speed control on it and the ports to plug into ect... You can then use the trickler by hand, with a manual thrower or ideally, like I have set up, with the V3 thrower. If you have the v3 thrower and the IP it's a very nice set up and honestly, there isn't any way to improve the basic function of it because it works extremely well.
The new thrower has new electronics which means you can save profiles, and also makes it easier to calibrate ect and it looks like it has a lot of other little nice things to it and I will be all over it for sure, but it's not going to really change my loading.
Now going from the V3 to the v3+IP was absolutely a major change in how I was able to load and the time and frustration involved with it. Definitely the best piece of gear I have which is saying a lot. I have high expectations for the whole system, whenever it does actually start shipping out.
You can still build an autothrow v2.5 so you don't have to manually throw charges with a little imagination and a 3d printer.
I ended up using a Lee powder measure like a V2 and printed the pulleys and housing. I used an aluminum tube from the dropper, but it's probably not 100% necessary. I use the V3 electronics and the IP dropper. Works pretty well. I may skip the new IP system altogether as I can't keep up with what I have now and it doesn't overthrow much.
This is what I have essentially. A V2.5. A v2 with v3 electronics, and an IP trickler.
Works great, but with N570 I have to set it up to manually throw the powder, and the trickler finishes it off.
Well I have not had time for any updates because I have been out at the IPRF World Championship helping out. There should be an update next week on where production of units stands and why the delay.
