Ok, this is how I think I will do it:

Sample 3 balls, display averaged bps.
Push this to the left when the next sample comes in.

So display will look like this:


......20 -> ...20.23 -> 20.23.21 -> 23.21.24 -> 21.24.20

Those numbers will represent ROF of last 9 balls, grouped in 3s.

Sound good? Alternatives?

the top BPS since the gun was turned on

then when you turn it off it clears it

just a simple max ROF calculator

what does tom think of the 20ms dwell? i thought e-mags needed 30ms otherwise it would chew up bolts? or have i just been living in a hole?


but like on impulses and angels, i want something to flash each time you pull the trigger

maybe just a little 4 pixel dot in the coner or something, or a block on the LED, but it'd be cool to have a light-up firing feature or w/e you wanna call it

The older Emag code had this. I am not sure why they took it out. It was just one pixel on the LED screen.

yeah, they had it on 1.1 software, but now its just the one-pixel flashes each second to signify that its idle or whatever you wanna call it

It can be done like that...

Basically count shots over 1 second interval.

What are you using for basis as a clock?

Or is there an equivalent known number of "ticks" in a 1 second interval for the ATMEL on the Emag board?

[Miscue]

4000 instructions @ 4MHz = 1 ms. 1 second = 4,000,000 instructions. There is no clock.

I could do that. Could have it scroll a message everytime you pull trigger if you wanted (interrupted by trigger pull or menu). How about if I made the screen flicker really quick? Or, a simple dot or block of pixels can do. Trouble is... adding that kind of feature so people who want it like it, and those who don't aren't annoyed by it.

if you do make a bps counter, do it teh clock style like hwo WAS boards have it, dont do it like the angels where it just looks at the space you have inbetween each shot, and spit that out as bps, its not a good reliable system, just make it like WAS, to show only the highest acheived bps, and be reset with a button

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I think a nice "BAM" or "POW" or "DESTROY" (a nod to nippinout from above) would be cool to have the LED flash for each trigger pull..hahahahaha..

[nippinout]

KITT style trailing LED.

[sneakyhacker420]

you got the idea miscue!

and i agree with you JT2002, thats what i was describing in my earlier post



but miscue... you still havent answered my question about the solenoid dwell, cause tom said anything below 30ms would chew up bolts like the hyperframe and boo-yah

Strange... same ideas keep popping up. Manike suggested this too, and I thought about it.

Features that are least useful I will work on last. But, I could have it light up a pixel block and move back and forth when you pull the trigger... kinda like Knight Rider. That would definitely draw attention...

I arbitrarily set it to 20 w/o necessarily a reason for it. I will set it to the lowest, reliable setting once I confirm what that actually is.

Ok, seems like a 1 second bps sample with a resettable high score type deal is popular. I'll keep in mind, have other things to work on first.

[sneakyhacker420]

go miscue!

what about the reverse trigger idea?


fires on the return of the trigger rather than the pull

[JT2002]

why teh he!! would u want a trigger to do that?

[sneakyhacker420]

i think it was miscue or rob, but one of them posted their reverse trigger thingy

that way it would be hella fast in hybrid mode
