i ment a little more specifically (sp?)

This is the same eye we're using, but the new boards are a bit bigger for the on/off switch and the sensitivity adjustment is no longer a blue pot.

I don't know the technical data on the eye, but it's not a break beam system. This eye detects the ball and then has a certain amount of delay before it lets the gun fire. I'm assuming about 8ms.

It is a reflective eye. You can adjust the sensitivity (I've never needed to).

You can also select different delay settings. I have no delay on mine I think (ACE setting 1), and it works just perfectly.

So manike... no ball in the breech, no fire?

[BlackVCG]

Ummm... that's kind of the whole point of an ACE.

Now you're talking about that I've a remark to do.

On my C&C (ver 2.21), when there's no ball in the breech, it's impossible to fire. Logical.
The problem is the marker doesn't send a pulse either to my warpfeed.

You see the consequences: no ball in the breech -> not possible anymore to make the loader work -> you're stuck with no ball in the breech.

I tried to avoid this problem by making the warpfeed run with the intellifeed and vibrations, but it's not a good solution because I'm playing in Emode mainly, not hybrid (hence I must switch from Emode to hybrid, fire a few times and switch back to the other mode).

Anyone knows why the software is designed like that (bug, or feature?).

My ACE stopped working this weekend, with the ace on it doesn't fire turn it off and it does, its also started a little barrel leak again, time to check the level 10 settings!

Check the sensitivity adjustment. Turn the ACE on and put a ball in the breech. Unscrew the sensitivity to the point that it does fire.

After speaking John from AGDE he recommended the same thing!

Cheers,

Is that a little brass screw which goes into a blue box?

Cheers,

Yes. Inside your grip.
