How convient. I just bought an Xmag :dance:

[Pudgey51]

how many will be made? and do we have a guestimate on what price will be?

[Papa_Smurf]

Plenty. I plan on using a few on the emags I have laying around, I figured others might do the same.

I'm still working on pricing.

:headbang: sweet...cant wait

[custar]

Will they work in a Hyperframe?

[UThomas]

The chances they work on a hyper frame would be about zero.

So did you mirror the stock design? I think it would be great to have the IR element modular so the user could replace it individually instead of the whole board.

From marketing, it might be worth while to talk to Lorne and offer a reduced package deal for this plus the X-mod software (which is awesome at diagnosing whether the ACE is working among other things).

Good job though!

You are right. It will not on a hyperframe.

I tried to get it like that, so you could just use a new sensor. That is what breaks most of the time. That isn't going to be. I ended up using different components. The IR and Potentiometer, I am told, will stay in calibration longer than the stock ones.

[rifleman wi]

will this work with a predator board? also i may be intrested in this for my emag if there not too expensive. who would we see about the milling for ule bodies and rails? also are these designed to work way better than the old ones? what caused the old ones to break so fast?

[custar]

You are right. It will not on a hyperframe.


Darn, but thanks for the info.

custar

[Outlaw5]

Outstanding! I will need two and probably get three. Post cost when you can and great job going after an item some have tried to get but none have been successful with getting......Again Great Job. Outlaw5

[Papa_Smurf]

I'm glad I could help.

First batch will be here in five weeks. If it is later, I get a discount, which means you get a discount!

Taking prepayments?

[Papa_Smurf]

Taking prepayments?

I never liked the prepay deal. I didn't like another man having my money, in a way holding the item over my head as if he isn't in a hurry now that he has my cash.

I can put your name on a list as a "dibs" deal so you can be guaranteed a board before I run out. If

[TheTexan]

[Warwitch]

I wonder if these will fit RogueFactors new Triton frame...... :ninja:

[Papa_Smurf]

They run on the software on the emag board. If you cram emag guts in the triton...


Texan, I will.

[Piranti]

Seems I need one as well, bought one with a 'claimed' working ACE, Digital Photography shows otherwise, damn... Oh well.

Added you to the list.

[Papa_Smurf]

Warwitch, I sent you a PM about testing.

Also I will be stocking replacement parts for the ACE system on the Euro Xmags.

[txrabbit]

papa, what's the price on these gonna be? i'm interested if the price is not all that high...

[MiniSpdRcr]

Could you PM me the price that these will be in the ballpark of?

[Papa_Smurf]

Both of you have been PM'd.

[Papa_Smurf]

ONE LEFT!

Warwitch will be testing them before they are sent out.
My Xmags will be out of my hands at the time of delivery :cry:

Im gonna need some targets too if anyone is interested :shooting: ==============:eek:

[Lomarandil]

I'll be a target, and only demand a lesser marker in your collection as recompense... how's that sound?

Lo

Side note: PapaSmurf... any chance it'll be ready by the time i'll be driving through tommorow afternoon evening? if not, no problem.. but it'd save you some shipping and I'd get to start showing it off at the miniSPPL game this weekend...

I fly back home in the morning, It will not be done by then. It will be done soon.

[Lomarandil]

Ok, no problem.. I wasn't sure when you would be/had gotten back..

Sell this man's last ACE board!

[deadpool2000]

[MntlHazrd]

If this board could be made to fit inside an emag put me on the list :)

[Papa_Smurf]

They will work with an emag.You will have to have it milled to accept it, but shouldn't be a problem. No more room on the first run. Sorry, more in stock in about 8-10 weeks.

[Papa_Smurf]

I eMailed the manufacturer for an update.

They replied,"We expect to ship it no later then tomorrow."

:clap:

[BAZOOKA_Boy]

I know you have sold all of them, but what kinda eye system does it use? a bottom of the breach bounce system like the X, or a break beam system?

I may want one on the next batch if its the bounce beam...:D

It's a direct replacement for the X. Same exact thing.

[BAZOOKA_Boy]

ok, perfect, so put me down on the next batch then, and what kinda eye connection is it, as AGD does not have replacement X eyes on their site...

[Ruler_Mark]

It connects to a molex conenction on your board, your emag lowers must be ULE styled so that there is enough room in them you also will need body and rail to be milled for it to work

[BAZOOKA_Boy]

yea, they are ule'ed, and my rail is so milled out, I doubt you could take off any more metal inside of it and still have the thing work...so no worries there, and as for the body, looking at it, thats something I could do myself, afterall, I have enough experience doing things like this after building that osiris timmy cocker thing that shoots like a dream...

and as for connection type, I was implying is it an Eblade reflective eye, shocker, or something completely different...

[Papa_Smurf]

It is an exact replacement for the AGD board.
Same components.

it's a sister board that has a reflective eye on it

[VeeWee]

Can't wait for the pics, wondering if I have room for an on/off switch.

reflective, ACE boards use this type of sensor LINK (http://www.newark.com/jsp/Optoelectronics,+Lamps+&+Displays/Optical+Sensors/Switches/OPTEK/OPB730/displayProduct.jsp?sku=08F2650), pretty much the same thing as an Eblade.

the board has on on/off switch on it.

[Outlaw5]

Papa Smurf.....any updates on when these boards will be in and the testing completed?? I have the money burning a hole in my Paypal account... Thanks Boss. V/R "Outlaw5"

[Papa_Smurf]

They will be tested this coming week.

:cheers:

[Outlaw5]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the quick reply and the work on this project. "Outlaw5"

[VeeWee]

the board has on on/off switch on it.

I'm hoping the switch lines up with the hole someone already milled in my rail, can't wait to see some pics.

[Papa_Smurf]

The switch will line up if your body/rail is milled to fit xmag lowers w/ ace

[Papa_Smurf]

I got the boards in. All looks great, but they didn't install the IR sensor. :tard:

They will be mailed back friday and should be back soon. I was pretty dissapointed as I'm sure you are to. Sorry for the lousy up...

[Outlaw5]

Papa....Updates???? "Outlaw5"

[Papa_Smurf]

They are being fixed now. I haven't been given a turn around time estimate.

[Outlaw5]

Right on. Thanks "Outlaw5" :D

[Papa_Smurf]

Well hey, looky there!

[Looper]

I would like to get on the next run list and could you PM me what the estimated cost will be? Thanks

[Outlaw5]

Papa, I see your version and was wondering...is this board higher in the frame, as the IR sensor is not high off the board and the blue pentometer is below the board. Additionally, are you going to provide the wiring attach point locations so a monkey like me can solder this into my X-MAG? Just wondering.........Oh by the way....they are gorgeous!!! Thanks "Outlaw5" :D :clap: :headbang: :wow:

[Papa_Smurf]

You will be given everything you need after they have been tested.

[e.t.]

looks like the real thing, :D how can i get one

[Papa_Smurf]

looks like the real thing, :D how can i get one
There will be another run after these ship out.

[Warwitch]

Yo Papa, Im back and ready for these bad boys. Hit me up when you are ready :cheers:

[Outlaw5]

Papa! Thanks....as ususal we AO'ers just need to relax in order to get great stuff from the guys who make things happen. Can't wait and look forward to the new board. "Outlaw5" :D

[Papa_Smurf]

I put an ACE board in my Xmag today!
All is well.

I will be PM'ing all on the list for payment info.

[Papa_Smurf]

all have been PM'd!

[Outlaw5]

Papa...great to hear it all works! Could you post some picts of the ACE board hooked up to the marker and some more close ups of the board? It would be appreciated. Outlaw5


Edit: P.S. I know I'm demanding but I'm really excited!!! Thanks

You are really working me man...
I just "tack" soldered it to the board for testing and then removed it. I'm not going to do it again, it's not my board, it's sold.
I can get some more close ups if you need.

The board is silk screened with labels as to what is hooked up where.

[Outlaw5]

I know.......I know.....A pain in your A** at the least. Now worries as far as on the gun. I was wondering. From the first pict you have on Page two of this thread it looks like the position that the ACE sensor that is on the board has a place to plug in the sensor as the original ACE was a tall column of wires and silicon to get to the bottom of the breech. Is there some kind of plug in unit for the ACE to reach the height of the original? Jsut wondering? Thanks Outlaw5

[Outlaw5]

Sorry...I forgot to mention....payment sent via Paypal for the board. I pm'ed you my address. If you have any questions just PM me and thanks. Outlaw5

Once you get it, it should make sense when you can see it. If you have any questions, I'll help. I have some pictures and drawings from around AO and AGD.

Roger Boss and thanks. Patiently waiting...........YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!..........Outlaw5

Alright you punks, pay up. I only have payment from three people and promise of a MO in the mail from one other.

If I can fill a slot let me know, I have cash to burn. Otherwise I'm waiting for round two...

[Papa_Smurf]

I'll be in touch with you soon.

[mpsd]

So, I just saw this thread. Any chance I can get one or two of these? How much for each? And how's the timeframe? Thanks!
