ANOTHER PRED board update (BAD)

[TheTramp]

Good idea. Damm Boston rent costs!!!

I know why he's doing it this way I just can't front the cash for a month.

It was the "just charge" mentality that lead me to cut up everything but my bank card.

That's understandable. One has keep that "in check" or you'd be broke the end of every month.

Hopefully you can lent a hand or $130 by the end of this month. That gets us closer to the man's condition...


Bob. You readin' this. We're trying here!!!

Hrm...gonna have to think a while before jumping in on this. But I am interested. How were the issues with the solenoid handled?

Which issues are you referring to?

[gibby]

Which issues are you referring to?

The full auto issue...from what I can remember, the solenoid creates a big enough magnetic charge which the HES picks up and triggers another pull. Unless he's completely doing away with HES? I'm just barely starting to read up on the board specs/FAQs.

[bambam]

Right. I recall that.
I suppose if this pred board is set to ulimited semi then the strings of paint (THE JOY ) you would produce the same effect like shooting in full auto mode.
So if there is some strong magnetic field from the solenoid that triggers the HES, you'd prolly would not notice it.
Doesn't the magnetic field happen at high rate of fire anyway?
or Was this the one where you just switch the solenoid wire?
I forget...

If I recall correctly that also had something to do with the software (???) I also think that it was when you started getting up there into the high 20's with the ROF. I also think that by switching the noid wires cured the issue. So I would imagine if you had problems then the same would apply.

TAG is supposed to do some extensive beta testing, so any of those issues (if there are any) will pop up.

Look at it like this.... Any time you attempt to get a peice of machinery to do something 30 times a second is going to cause issues.

However,... even at 25bps with ramp and all the other firing modes what more could you want? My angel LED, which is not supposed to go anywhere near 25 bps handles it just fine with the Predator Morlock in it.

I do forsee needing to keep a few extra bumpers around though....
