It is a bit tricky putting the RF chip into the ion because it involves some soldering and some tricky placement. Its not as easy as some really high ends that have solderless connections. So if you are looking into a pulse for your ion, this may help you out...
Needs:
Soldering Iron
Solder
RF chip and harness
Ion board (any kind works, I used a blackheart)

First you need to have some soldering skillz! Not hard to do but you need to have some confidence in yourself.
Next, youll need to know where to solder the points. You need to solder the RF chip to the solenoid. Here is the best place to go about this.

Next solder the two points. Im not positve but i dont think it matters if you solder the red one on the left or right. But for simplicity. Mine works, solder red on left, black on right.

Now that you think your connections are nice and good, test it out next to the loader. Put the pulse into green mode and stop the drive cone with your finger. Pull the trigger on the board and see if the cone pulses or spins when you trip the trigger. If it does you synched it correctly. Its been said that up to ten feet away the hopper can pick up the signal from the board.

If it works and is soldering is to your satisfaction, put the board into the frame. THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE WHOLE HOW TO. NO LIE!
There isnt alot of room in the frame to put the chip so right above the capacitor is the best spot.

It will take a few tries to get it fit right without hitting the back of your trigger and giving you a different trigger feel. But once you get it, you got and go have some fun with your new hopper!
