No more crappy yellow pin..

[KayleAGD]

As many of you know I have been working on an on/off switch for the e-mags. Below is the first run on the boards. The switch is pointing up because I have not drilled a hole in the side yet.the board wire will also be changed .

[cphilip]

By Jove! I think he's got it! :D

i wish i knew what i was looking at.

looks great kayle
thanks again for the help in chicago

[rikkter]

i beleive this is the switch, if not, i'll remove the picture so it wont confuse people.

[magman007]

GOOD JOB KAYLE! too bad i already have my sfl! heh, btw when do you get yours???

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

um, why all the circut board crap? i just took a switch off of a revvy board and used it in my e-mag...

[breg]

Cool, this is what I was looking for for an E-Mag. Is the swithc going to come standard on the E-Mag/X-Mag in the future? Or, will it be available as a retro fit for those who already onw E/X/SFL-Mags? Let us know man!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Breg

[KayleAGD]

I built this as a project on my own..The reason for the circuit board is the switch is only rated for .4va . AGD says the current draw is too much for just a switch to last.As far as I can tell this will fit all emag frames without a modification . You will just have to drill a 3/16 hole to reach the switch.

[CFD323]

Hey Kayle, anything new with this setup with the on/off switch ? If it works ok, will it be available to the rest of us Emag owners ?

[rikkter]

bregg, xmags already has an on/off switch

[KayleAGD]

The boards will be done this week and the parts are getting quoted.. The only thing thay will have to be done is to drill a 3/16 hole in the e-mag frame.. Looks like the cost will be around $35.00

[CFD323]

Obviously I assume it's held up well while you've tested it. Where did you mount the switch ? Do you have the option of mounting it in different places ? What's involved with mounting the board and wiring ?

Do you have a picture of it mounted on the Emag ?

[Gecko]

externally this switch will look identical to the on/off switch shown on xmags

[StygShore]

you take paypal, credit card, money order, blood, souls?

tell me when I can get one of these, I hate the yellow pin

Down with the yellow pin!

Down with the yellow pin!

KAYLE YOU RAWK!

Hey KayleAGD, anything new with the on/off switch ?

Got any finished pics of it on the Emag ?

[langrage]

my emag doesn't use the "yellow pin" here is a pic of the toggle switch

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

I think that switch is way to big. I would be affraid of having an on/off like that and turning it off in the middle of the game. I think you need to make the switch a little more inconspicuous.

[shartley]

Anyone try using a pressure swithch like they have on Maglights? Those may be a bit big (but I don't think so) but I am sure they make smaller ones. It would keep the basic outline of the battery pack more "clean", and should not have the issues a toggle switch would have.

Just an idea....

Shartley that was actually what I was thinking, BUT for the E-Mag, selector switch. I am left handed, and I have hit it in tournaments off the break, causing me to miss eliminations. I wonder if there is some way one could be fit to the selector switch. It would also work well for a on/off switch too I think.

Sounds like a good idea, like if you flip the switch into the back position, it cuts power to the board.

[pito189]

Exactly causing me to miss shoots.

The push button would be so that one click would put it into manual. Click it again, and it would put it back into E-mode. The would be sweet, I need to find an old broken mag light to take apart.

[BlackVCG]

Kila modified his yellow pin so you just turn it to cut the power. It'd be much easier and cheaper to do that than build some sort of selector switch assembly.

You will probably blow that switch out. The 'noid draws too many amps for a switch that small. That's why Kayle's switch got all those lovely tansistors:)

Hey Kayle i met u at Conders 2 day thnx for working on my mag .
ALSO ur SFL is freaking awsome

it stick out as far as a revy switch. I don't have a problem with that turning off during a game.

It has worked for months and no problem yet. With the price of the switch being cheaper than ordering the yellow pins from AGD i'll probably just replace the switch if it goes out. I'll let you know when it finally burns out.

How often you grab your revy in the game? Only 3-4 times to reload. You're holding the gun the whole game. You're also letting go and grabbing the gun again more too(IE:when you switch sides and hands). Just seems like it could be a problem(where some people might not have them).

[KayleAGD]

Ok . the first of the production boards went out at the IAO and no complaints yet. I will be posting a thread in the dealers forum and sell them as a self install kit..

[damageinc54]

Do you have a picture of the actual production model? I am interested in buying one.

[govnamac]

He installed mine and it works and looks great.

[Army]

Mine works like a champ. Only a tiny bit of the switch extends outside the marker, leaving almost nothing to accidently bump off. Despite this, it is easy to deliberately turn on and off.

It mounts to the short, flat rail area, just to the rear of the battery pack and forward of the trigger. This spot is away from hands and handling.

Can't thank Kayle enough for it either. This is the best thing for Emags yet!

[hitech]

Although I wouldn't mind having one, am I the only one that isn't bothered by the yellow pin?

[Dayspring]

Kayle also installed mine at IAO. It's AWESOME! Very Xmag like. And unless you look for it, you can't find it.

It's not that it was a real bother, but now I can just push my trigger finger forward and "boink", power is off.

[.bolink]

Can someone please post a pic?
