You would take everything out of your frame so it was empty.Quote:

The lower board mount screw
The solenoid mount
The solenoid plunger with sear

A solenoid coil

H.E.S.
Wire harness
All the parts to make the new board drop in and ready to go
When will these be officially ready?
This year.Quote:

I'm trying not to rush this board out to sales. With the need so high for them, I want zero issues with the hardware /software.
I know that's not a definate date to answer the question at hand. But that's all I have to offer before I see the prototype back next week to run paint through it.
Please put me on the list for 1!!
Hello,
I'm a total newbee in emag (and automags too !!!) and know nothing about technics
So my problem (and question) is :
Will this board very simple to install ? something like replacing the stock board by a virtue one on an invert mini (take off 3 screws, take off old board, put new board, re-place the 3 screws and ... go to the field !!!)
or will it be needed to make changes on the marker ?
I have a "stock" emag with v1.37 software.
Thanks
Its more like 1 screw, the trigger switch (HES), the solenoid mount, solenoid coil, etcQuote:

If all you need is control of the modes and some dwell adjustment, the software flash called "XMOD" is what you need.
I may be losing a customer, but really this new board of mine is for when the stock one no longer functions at all.
If that ever happens, then my new boards are the replacement you will be looking for.
I won't be able to get one of these anymore. I need to start reigning in my spending. I'll let you know if a pile of money falls in my lap or I fall of the savings wagon again.Quote:

I'm sure if you need one I will have them here for you.
Update
We re-loaded the software to the new board this weekend.
A change in hardware was needed for part D5 & D6. Seems we got a bad batch and they weren't blocking all the voltage to zero.
Which mention the toureny switch was floating and could not ground properly.
The other issue was the eyes, again.
We have been changing the code back and forth to get dual funtion for break beam and reflective.
Seems the hardware limited the range for paint detection on the reflective side because on a analogue signal being not counted correctly in the code against what the circuit was giving out.
So we fixed all that.
I have to change out the diodes and reflash the board again for a complete video test.
The end is so damned close....
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the test video :dance:Quote:

Prototype is inbound to me for a video making session.
Target date for completed board packages is new years day.
Pre order will be open before then
Those of you that NEED a board setup for your gun, do not delay on jumping into the pre order.
Definately put me down as needing a board.
UPDATE
I have the new board in hand.
I put it back into the X-Mag test frame and swapped out the battery for a fresh one.
( I just had 4 shots of JD for the Marine Corps Birthday,.. please excuse my spelling)
I powered up the board with a stock AGD battery and a KC 1000mHa battery,.. both work 100% with the new board.
I also tested the circuit on a 9volt battery, the circuit will 100% honor the lower voltage (for all you DIY guys out there)
I DO NOT RECCOMEND YOU USE 9VOLTS ON YOUR E/X-MAG!!!!
Below is a video containing the test of the software to the board and the battery.
Once I have completed the move into my new home on the 19th and 20th of Novermber, I will shoot a video with the new board installed in an AGD marker shooting paint.
For now,... enjoy!

Looks sweet, :cheers:
"NOTICE
For those of you that have X-mags or E-mags with milling to support the ACE board, the new ACE boards WILL be completed next."
Keeping an eye out for when you release the new ace boards also. Hopefully it will be done with main boards to get a sweet combo. Would be nice if the new ace boards have a on/off switch installed option.

The ace will not have a switch. The new use of the buttons on the frame is all you will need to control them.
Cool thanks.
The Videos Are Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Board Is Working 100%
We Will Start The Pre-order Soon!!!!!!!!
Im glad to see that all of your hard work and efforts are paying off.
On another note, have you thought of a name for it yet? Can I nominate "F.U.B.S." or "F.U.T.S." :D

**If you sent a payment and dont see the amount next to your name, shoot me a PM ASAP!
I update this thread every morning at 430am EST
If you would like a board at the $160 price, I urge you to get in on this deal.
After the pre-order closes, we can not guaranty the price to hold much longer. Solenoid coils have almost doubled in the last 3-5 months.
Payment sent in full.
Updated first post with payments received!
I just wanted to say that this is awesome that you've done this. I'd shake your hand if I could. :cheers:
Some boards are just beyond repair, its good to know that all is not lost.
