    X-mag ACE works with Tunamagnum/Morlock/Emagnum... setting values... help required

    Oh yes it does :-) Took me a while to get it hooked up, but it works very nicely.

    It's actually got significantly better logic than the standard board because with the stock board if there is no ball it won't fire at all (or start a warp if a ball is missing...) With the Morlock it will still fire after a short hold off and this means it will clear any problems with badly fed or shaped paint and start a warp etc. to feed if there had been a misfeed for some reason (for instance running out of paint).

    With a bad ball in the stock gun with level ten, the bolt may push it forward off the ACE but not fire it. Resulting in not being able to shoot. With the Morlock it will default so you can start shooting and off you go again after that ball is pushed a bit further forward and fired under a 'forced' shot :)

    OK So I am just wondering what settings others are using? Any one using a Tunamagnum/Morlock or E-magnum please post up your settings. Maybe we can work out the optimal set up, with and without the ACE.

    What did Butterfingers use to get 30bps?

    1) Fire Mode = semi
    2) N/A
    3) Solenoid one pulse length = 15ms (interested to know what others use)
    4) Solenoid one hold off = 1ms (wondering if I ought to set this high enough to allow recharge or just set it as low as possible?)
    5) N/A
    6) ROF/Solenoid 2 hold off = 1ms (am using ACE)
    7) Eye Hold off = factory default is it 10ms or 5ms? there seems to be contradictory statements in the instructions. (seems fine with a Halo B) may be a little short with a normal loader, but I had no chops on FA and only one/two breaks at the very tip of the barrel... also very fragile paint!) Am wondering if I can go to no hold off... I want to squeeze every ounce of fire power out of this thing!
    8) Use Eye = YES!!! :)
    9) Solenoid mode = single solenoid
    10) Lock mode = semi
    11) Eye sense = low blocked

    It's one heck of a machine gun set up like this. Especially on FA, where it will spit out a line of paint faster than my Halo B can keep up :) It won't actually fire properly without the ACE on FA as it seems the settings are currently too quick for it to just dry fire

    Well without ACE on my old emag it would fire at 30bps no problem. Halo wouldnt keep up but it never chopped with level 10. My settings looked like yours, except ACE off.

    I used solenoid 2 for warp interface @ 18v and set hold off to 1ms as well.

    Solenoid 1 was set to 1ms as well.

    I may have to get one to put in my Extreme agin too, if it works better like you said. I know my trigger was extremely sensative with the morlock board installed. I cant get the stock board to work right with the TL63 blade tigger I have, but it worked fine with the morlock.

    *EDIT* I also found that for FA to work well, level 10 with the short spring and a nice tight carrier was the trick.

      mxracer33x,

      Do you have your fire pulse (solenoid one dwell) set the same as me? i.e. 15ms? Surely you can't have meant that is at 1ms? I take it that was for the solenoid hold off not the pulse length.

      Do you see any bolt wear? I wonder how low we can go. The lower duration the more shots we should get from the battery...

      It is very sensative. :)

            yes holdoff was 1ms and the pulse length was 15 or 20 if I remember right. I know i tried both, without noticing much difference, I cant recall which I finally stuck with.
