4.0 software

[Miscue]

So, would you flash someone mag to 4.2 for a fee? If you would rather not answer this thats fine. Just curious how some of these people have the 4.0 stuff...

if this was answered previously forgive me

Nope... sorry.

4.0

Wow i never thought that my thread would go this far. Well ill give you a cookie for effort Z-man, but no choclate chips. Miscue congrats on your finishing your software, i still love my 4.0 to bad we cant get a version of it. I was also wondering, miscue, if you changed the voltages controlling the selonid in 4.00, i had some issues with my selonoid resetting, fixed it with an on/off pin adjustment, cus of the Micro E mag, wondering just to know if I did not have my on off pin adjustment correct in the first place or if it wasant pulling the plunger as forcefully.

Thanks,

Well, it's pretty much on or off - and the voltage can't really be changed. I suppose it could be pulse modulated so that the average voltage given an amount of time is lower - but the software does not do that.

Thanks... I'd really like it if everyone who wants it could get it, honestly... especially now that I 'believe' the safety issues have been cured, or at least I've been unable to duplicate them - and I've tried. I really want to believe I've fixed it - which would make me happy, but I'm also careful and skeptical - and testing with numerous markers has not been done. I do know for sure that 4.20 is at the least, very effective at addressing the problem. I kinda would like AGD to consider releasing it (particularly when it was written by request in the first place) if it can be independently verified as a 100% solution. *Hint* Bug TK about it... hehe. */hint*

I love my 4.0. Not sure what BlackVCG did but he removed all signs of f/a. Even w/o air or in Hybrid I can't get it to shoot more then a single shot. I do wish I could change my boot up message but it adds that ultimate customization.

Hehe, I like that boot screen too - It's the FIRST thing I worked on besides a very primitive semi-auto and full-auto just for giggles. People were posting that 3.2 maxed out the chip's memory, and a full alphanumeric character set could not be done. I wanted to blow that out of the water, and got the full alphabet, room for a whole sentence to scroll through (both collectively use up about 25% of the program space), match 3.0's features minus the bugs - and it was still smaller than 3.0, I could probably have it cite a short poem, and still be smaller... really. But I needed that extra space to put in the extra stuff in 4.x, that 3.x does not have.

Had you worked with the Atmel chips before, Miscue?

I lost my damn allen wrenches. I was going to play around a bit last night. ;/

No - x86/PPC/Alpha ASM is what I did a little of before... it didn't take much time to learn the Atmel, it's pretty easy to use.

If some of you are curious - I could be tempted to post an overview of what assembly is, how it works, and some basics... maybe show you MIPS or something... or the Atmel I suppose. It's not particularly hard, but there is a learning curve.

I'd be interested if it wasn't too much work for you.

Where, there it is.

Well they are not the most impressive of my videos but they do illustrate the basic idea of 4.0. Sorry guys I did all this with my debounce at 10 so no perfect strings of 20+ . Still I think it's descriptive eh?

Part 1 (11MB and about 50 sec long)

Part 2 (18MB about 1min 30 sec)

Awesome videos
Must you use quicktime? I just spent 1 1/2 hrs downloading a 30 second video... Haven't we come up with better ways to transfer files? Quicktime

Love the site and the videos. Wish I had broadband...

EDIT: Ahh, sprinklers...

How bout it TK, officially release 4.2 PLEASE.

As a new owner of an X-mag it is great to know that there is still work being done on the software for these amazing markers. TK, I want my 4.2 :-) If miscue feels confident about this, you should stand behind him and support his hard work and let us, the valued loyal AGD owners reap the benefits of said hard work. Thanks, and please consider this request. Thanks.

I am with you; however, I would not count on it. AGD made their money off the sell of these markers and although they have great customer service they have nothing to gain financially by supporting future development of their products.

What I do see third party programmers developing code and selling it.

MISCUE,

The crazy part of all this is that I am actually learning all about exactly what you are doing in one of my engineering classes. The simple fact that I actually understand what the hell you are talking about makes me want to slap myself up upside the head and call myself a nerd!

Then again... perhaps maybe I should pay attention a little more (or just start going to that class again) so I can start screwing with these boards. I have been hooked on the XMag since I bought my first, I have plenty of time

It would not surprise me either way.

There's a couple other people who've made their own software, actually. But I don't think anyone really knows about it. And, it seems they are keeping it to themselves.

Unfortunately, it's going to take someone other than me to get you new stuff - I cannot release anything.

The other option is to get a different gun with better software than what's available for the EMag.
