When you feel the urge to build your own E-mag

[personman]

Aaaah! So cool! Get a digi vid cam and record that sucker shooting!! Must hear!

[zads27]

Haha that's like angel-cocker-distorted-e-mag there.
Angel Ark blade trigger, dye mag double grip frame.. very nice.

manike: If anyone wnat to step up, I'd be happy to build an EZ-Mag......

RaV3n_Pa1ntba||: Yes, I has two more that just got ordered.

personman: I should do that......

zads27: Actually it's a DYE Cocker that's been modified for the pivot trigger. The trigger I made in-shop.

Awesome. Does the barrel help with the preformance. It looks different.

[BlackVCG]

The barrel is a stock MiniMag barrel. It looks a bit long for a MiniMag barrel, but then again it's on an AutoMag body so I can't be for certain.

sorry, that was uncalled for... I should know better, but I'm still upset at what happened at the PGPog...

[Smitty2]

Sounds like Heat is in heat. I bet AGD would take it off if they cared. Umm he did post it on their companies forum.

[i-luv-my-rt]

I must be stupid. I dont understand what it is. Is it still electronic like a Emag, If so y do you have a 3-way and a 3-way and a LPR. I dont really understand it. PLease explain!!!

[Hysperion]

all I can say is, I will never be able to be creative like that

Punisher - are you using electronic timing, or just switching the solenoid valve on and off with the switch in the Intelliframe?

I ask this, as I am nearly finished (have to draw/scan schematics and give a final proof) with an article on building and programming your own circuit boards, and should have it online either later in the week, or early next week. With a microprocessor in there, various fire modes, and precise timing (no short-stroking possibility) are rather simple to do in software. The article is really aimed at folks like yourself who are doing "one of a kind" type paintguns, or prototyping.

Another thought - have you considered a Rainmaker LPR? A lot of Rainmaker owners pull it off because they "have to" upgrade to an adjustable reg - but the Rainmaker LPR valve is quite reliably, and is VERY small.

See you on the field,

Punisher - well, real world work got in the way, but I finally finished that article.

See:

http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/electronics/basic_stamp/index.shtml

The Parallax Basic Stamp is quite simple to modify to control a paintgun like this (you'd only really need to add two parts to it, and what you already have - more if you wanted to be fancier with an LCD or LEDs for mode status).

Also, WGP's new Tickler reg is another nice, tiny alternative:

bill, they may be small, but do they work? and how much are they? im intrested in pickin one up this summer at the iao. also, the oracle is a work of art! how much did they run?

[billmi]

I'll be seeing how they work on the field shortly. Don't know on the price on the Tickler alone, I believe the Oracle is around $1,000.

The guys from Sin Sity Raiders were building Ticklers at the WGP tent, that's how new they are.

Wow....lost track of this one....

Smitty2: Yes....a barrel definitely helps!

Heat: Huh?

i-luv-my-rt: It is in short, and Electro Pneumatic 'mag conversion. It's trigger actuates a micro switch only. The pneumatics interenal to the frame do the work.

Hysperion: Naw...You'd probably surprise yourself!

billmi: At this point, it's just running a simple event timer. I'm allowing 35msec for the firing sequence.
If the call is there, I'll build up a multimode board.
I will however take a look at your article......I know all about day to day life.

[Punisher]

Hey Bill, took a couple seconds to look over the article. Well done! I'll go back and read it more as I have time.
