    Xmod for hyperframes and many other markers?!?

    Well it was a long battle to bring me and P8nt's new UTB based Emag board to life. but after fighting the board forever, I finally completed it and had it shipped off to P8nt for final review and to start selling. SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT THIS WEEK IN THE DEALER SECTION!!!!!


    But to the point of this thread. Now that i have completed the new Emag board, i am looking for the next board to do. I have been working on repairing a handful of hyperframe boards and have run into the problem with one board having the main chip fried. So without having a programmer/software for the chip (and because i have 500 Atmel chips in stock), i got to thinking. Why not bring Xmod to hyperframes and any other possible marker out there.

    With that said, i know many of you have the Xmod programmers laying around collecting dust.....while you have other electrical markers laying around needing some nice new software. So I would like to ask all that are reading this to post some markers that Xmod would be greatly wanted for. Now dont forget old markers like B2K's and even rain makers! Anything running off an electric board i can make happen.



    Now with that said, i want to openly ask LorneCash for help on this on this (since i cant get ahold of him privatly). I know you want to get the rest of your programmers sold and earn a bit more on your awsome software. So would you be willing to help change the software to work for 12 and 9 volts systems and help with any questions i might have with the software technically? this would of course give you the chance to get your code protected and safe like you really want (i.e. patented with any changes you want to do with requirements of use of software).




    so there it is, I am wanting to help push this awsome software to any and all other electric markers. I just need the help of everyone to make this happen.

    Bill of requirments on donor boards:

    It must be a spare or dead board and can not come from a working marker. I dont want anybody putting a marker into "decomission mode" over this project. and i have to be able to keep the board.



    List of boards being worked on and who sent them:

    - Tribal board from "Ratt"
    - Hyperframe board from "BigEvil"
    - Fokus board from "hitech"
    - Tippmann X7 board from "Swamp Thing"
    - Viking board from "fsrxc1"
    - GZ Intitmidator board from "211"
    - Shocker SFT Board from "Deathss"
    - Ion Board from "Deathss"
    - Impulse Board from "Deathss"

    forgot

    forgot one piece of info that would probably help this get rolling.


    I will give a free new board that i make for whatever marker for the first (fried/bad/good) board i get for each marker. this is to help me get a stock or aftermarket board for measurments and setups while giving a reason to help me out.


    Example of what i am talking about:

    if you suggest for me to do a new "rain maker" board and send me an old original board for keeps (so that i can get measurments and some needed info on the marker's requirments).....I will send you the first board i make for that "rain maker".

      Let me put my hyperframe board in the microwave for a few minutes!

      Interesting project you have there. Hope everything works out!

        I have a Fokus grip (for spyder clones with mag spacing), but I don't think they are really popular enough to be worth the effort. However, if you think differently let me know.

          No need for the board to "go bad" if its a good board. I just think it would be alot easier for someone to give up a bad board then a good one.

          effort isnt a problem. there is more to this project then what i have listed. the other half of this project is it being a way for me to learn more about all the other control boards out there for electric markers. its a way for me to learn a bit more by hands on.


          but with that said, i WILL take any and ALL boards. it doesnt matter if i make 5 or 500 boards for a certian marker.

            I can send you a working Tribal board. If you make some, I will bring it up to the guys on TOG (Tribal Online Group), and try to get their interest piqued... Send me a shipping address, and I will get that board in the mail.

                    is there any reason to not use a utb board in these generic markers?

                      lorneash will weigh in later this evening, but as im trying to understand, will you be using new boards in these markers, or simply adding a chip with new software to the board?

                        Let me know if you want to try the Fokus. I can send you just the board or the whole frame if you want (I'm not using using it on anything).

                            What Atmel chip is it that you have "in stock"? I don't see a problem modifying xmod to work with any other marker the only thing that would take some work would be to convert the LCD screen code over to blinking light code, but that can't be too bad. I was looking into that at one time for another company... Racegun. I was gonna write software for them but the deal fell through I think do to financing on their part.

                              I have a GZ Intimidator SOB board that I can send you.
                              Its the same size as a 2k2 board, so there might be some interest in them.
