ACE Board vs. Predator II! Round 1!

[Chris Nearchos]

so which one is better?

So which board is better? the Predator 2, Morlock, or the MiniMorlock?

I think the MiniMorlock and Predator 2 are almost identical, so I would say they are tied. Of course the MiniMorlock is made to fit anything and the Pred 2 is designed more for single solenoid guns(at least that's what I hear). The Morlock is just an older, bigger version of the MiniMorlock.

which would be better for...

i have a Emag with the x valve, eclipse body rail and a minimag body. which board would be best for it?

[Empyreal Rogue]

The board is only useful if you have the eyes installed. You know that, right?

How do u figure? It gives you a large control in timing, multiple firing modes, and the fastest circuitry on the market with or w/o eyes.

[Chris Nearchos]

eyes

Yea, i know that. I already have an eye installed on my gun. iam just trying to figure which is the best board that i should go with for the eye.

Well, I know the Predator 2 boards can work with mags cause that's what the DevilMag uses...

Would that make a difference with the E-Mag software/board, though?

Chris, which eye do you have installed? If it's the AGD ACE Board then you'll need new eyes.

[Chris Nearchos]

board

Iam not sure what the eye is but it is not the ace eye. the eye was installed by my local shop.

has anyone tried a MiniMorlock board with a emag/ xmag? if so how did it workout for you?

It should work just as good as the Predator 2 board in the DevilMag does, as long as it is programmed correctly. If I understand correctly, the MiniMorlock and the Predator 2 board are both made by the same company. If that's the case, then you could understand why they would perform so similar.

[FragTek]

The Predator II is made by TAG Sportz, the Morlock series is made by KM2.

MiniMorlock board

So..... let me get this straight, both boards are basicly alike? the only real reason for making the MiniMorlock is because of its size? but the program of the boards are the same?

[FragTek]

Programming is different between the Predator II and Morlock. The MiniMorlock is just a space saver.

Plus the Predator II samples the trigger asynchronously which means fast fast fast. Only board that does this.

I'm almost 100% sure that the Predator 2 is made by KM2 for TAG Sportz.

The MiniMorlock and the Preadtor 2 are the same size. The MiniMorlock must be completely programmed to work on a gun, it's specifically made to put in any gun, so it needs more programming than most to work. Also, the MiniMorlock can work with both types of ACE, not sure about the Predator 2.

. . . . . . samples the trigger asynchronously which means fast fast fast. . . . .

This just means that it doesn't "sample" the trigger at all. In essence, its always listening for the switch to make contact (or break contact). If you link this voltage to a flag (high on, or low on, either one) in the software, when the switch breaks the circuit, the flag changes state, and the fire cycle is started. You'd need a good debounce circuit to make sure that you don't pick up a bunch of switch bounce though. Therein lies the "fast, fast, fast" .

If switching trigger sample rates (or styles) magically increases your ROF, you need to increase your debounce setting.

The old Morlocks worked like this too, someone's just invented a new buzz word to describe it (not that the way they check the switch is bad, mind you).

I personally think the Pred II is the best bang for the buck (for a single 'noid marker that is) out there right now.

I just find it amusing to see people comparing it to its nearly identical twin brother, and actually saying that one or the other is better. Basically, the only difference between the Pred II, and the Mini Morlock is the firmware on the ROM (and even that is (or will be) very similar in function).

As always, I could be totally full of crap though.
