Predator E/X Mag Drop in board

[smilestyler]

At any price, this is a much better deal imo than sending an expensive marker to someone to get software flashed. Count me in, unless it takes a year to become reality. By then I may not have an emag, or have gotten some other software etc.

All of you interested do realize that posting "Count me in! WOOOO!" fifty times isn't what it's going to take. There must be 50 people, at least, paying for it in advance before it's even made. It doesn't seem fair though does it? Now look at it from TAG's point of view, 50 kids/guys say they'll take it so he dumps all that cash to get it done. Then the time for those 50 to pay up comes and they cop out. Now he's left with a HUGE waste of money and time. I'm shocked he'd do it for as few as 50 pre-orders.

I guess what I'm trying to say is either someone start a record of who will 99% for sure pay up when the time comes and as soon as you have 75 people on that list start calling them and telling them to send their money to TAG. And realize to that if to few orders show up at TAG then you will lose the cost of them having to get a money order and shipping it back to you or the pay pal fee of the transactions. They're already wasting time, no way in heck would they waste money to boot.


Another thing I see as an issue is that darn hall-effect sensor and the break beam eye milling. But all in due time.

If you read through all of those posts ny Bob at TAG, he says he already has it designed.

So, what actually needs to happen to get this done? Who would start to take pre-orders. I would not mind pre-ordering something if I knew approximately how long it would take.

Does anyboy know who I would talk to about milling my Karta body for eyes if this goes through? About how much would I be looking at for milling?

Keep your eyes on www.theangelguy.com for the pre-order page. It should be up in a day or two. Also, The TAG guys can dot he milling as well, drop them a line. I think they charged me like $55 to mill the holes and drill and tap for the covers on my Angel LED.

Oh, and he said it would take exactly 3 weeks to get the borads made and back to him for programing. So figure 4-5 weeks once he orders them.

I talked with Bob about this today and it will defiantly happen. I heard the number of the first run so if you want one you better jump in quick. You will be getting more than you bargand for, that's for sure.

Now the race is on for the e-mag board and the halo board...Gentlemen, start your tracers!

I have not seen anything on TAG yet.

Yeah I know [impatient]Me[/impatient]

Bob assures me that it will happen soon. I think they have a bunch of things going on at the same time. Better to wait a bit than to half-*** something like this.

I will keep everyone updated as new info becomes available.

I read the discription you posted but had a hard time finding the answer I was looking for. Perhaps you could clear it up.

Will this board support the existing LED display or have it's own display? It doesn't look like it but I'm hoping I read things wrong.

There will be no diplay at all. It's going to use LED like in the DM4/5.

"So here is the feature list so far so correct me if I missed something or included something that is not needed:"
1. Direct drop in
2. 3 pin JST eye harness for break beam eye installs
3. Interface for top board for xmags
4. No LED screen ( we will use the same LED that is in the dm4 boards )
5. Top button on grip will be power
6. Bottom button on grip will be eye
7. Power pin can still be used for safety
8. 4 dips switches on board that are programmable (tournament lock etc)
9. "speaker" on board for extras? Still deciding on this one
10. "your input" here

Crap. Oh well.

Crap. Oh well.

IF Its like the DM4 board, it wont be all that bad. It will have a 2 (or 3) color led. TAG has a vid up on their sight on how to program their DM4 board. Having a multicolor led as opposed to the single color is a major improvment.

I will try to find that vid in a bit.

I think you're right. I hate dealing with a board that has tons of features but only has a simple blinking light to program it. Two lights could make things a lot easier. This possible good news could put it back on my "need to get" list.

Believe it or not that little blinking light aint that bad to program. I have A predator Morlock and its not hard to get used to at all.

A multi-colored LED looks alot easier though...
