New E-Mag/X-Mag board!!!!!!

[p8ntbal4me]

How much more expensive do you anticipate the board will be if you add a LED screen?

$38 to $48 more

$38 to $48 more

What about another type of screen? I think 40-50 more is worth it....These are going in some pretty expensive guns anyways. A full blown custom build with customs machined body, rail etc and fancy anodizing is atleast 1200 to do.....whats 50 bucks.

Could you do it as an option?

Could you do it as an option?

Looking at the existing OEM board,... no. You have to add in 5 more resistors, 2 more capacitors, and all those need leads on the board.

It would have to be a separate board all together. Making a dual purpose board in the odd shape of the OEM board is not easy.

We could do 2 boards,.. but whats the point?

Unless someone was willing to fork over the cash to have the upgrades done to an OLED screen,... I am not going to spend time teaching myself electronics. Im already 5 designs into this board already,... getting it to become an item that will stay up to date will be a challenge.

What about another type of screen?

Again,... if someone was going to pay for it (as in pay for the entire run of boards) I would look into the design. Right now I just dont have that kind of capital to throw at this sort of upgrade.

Someone can take my spot. Ill be selling my Emag soon because I need money

I just finished the schematic using an LED today,.. boards will take some time to test. Sucks you have to sell ur Mag

I'll take 1 for sure, mabye 2, prob 2
when do you need payment?
Thanks

UPDATE

Meeting with my design engineer on Monday to finalize the board.

Already in negotiation with another board maker to use their RF loader technology

More to come

Can I guess Seventh Element then.

Are you going to take beta tester or do you have that set already/

We will be picking beta testers.... no one has been selected yet for that.

Most likely it wont be until we are working on the code specific to the board.

Goes to show just how "out of touch" I am with the PB circuitry market

I thought you were making a joke.... I had to Google Seventh Element to figure it out!

[Ratt]

For the record, I will gladly offer my services. I am a 'professional beta tester' (self-proclaimed, of course)...

[p8ntbal4me]

For those of you that were hoping to see an LED screen,.. I dont think we will have it on the new board.

Space is the main concern right now,.. cost is second.

I am upgrading the chip on the board to something with more space for more code so we wont have problems in the future.

We are looking now (seriously) into sending new solenoids with the new boards.

I will know more on 1/24/11 when I speak to the engineer.
