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

[Ando]

So many connections...so many possibilities

[p8ntbal4me]

will the board work with out eyes ? or does any one know who can mill eyes into a micro mag will still be in for one

Board software default is to work without eyes.
if you have eyes (break beam or reflective/ACE) the software automatically turns the eyes on if connected.
You can always disable them from the back button on the frame.

The auxiliary port was specifically designed with controlling the warp feed in mind.
I also have a wireless option coming very soon (in design phase now).

I do need a new board, managed to fry mine while it was waiting on the MM2k9.

Update

I just sent the board back out for the new software flash.
Should have something together in working video form (hopefully) in two weeks.

NOTICE
For those of you that have X-mags or E-mags with milling to support the ACE board, the new ACE boards WILL be completed next.

You can not use an AGD ACE board with the new main boards I am releasing.

The idea is to allow you to have all the critical components as well as power control on a single unit rather than splitting it into two boards.

In simple terms, you will be removing everything from the frame except the solenoid plunget and sear and saving them
You will be installing brand new parts (HES, solenoid coil, main board, wire harness) and a 30 day warranty

'm going to need a new board as well. Mine fried and it couldn't be fixed.
lmk how to go about ordering one more, its a classic emag board. Non ACE
Thanks,

Whats bad on it?

Update

Board went back to the software engineer to be re-tested.

They have received it and are testing the CPS of the solenoid with no load on it.

Target speed is 100cps



Hoping to have a video around the week of 10/10 or the week after.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the updates

So from my understanding I wouldn't need a new noid, HES, etc. As in I could just drop this board into my basic emag as it is now? Also how much would you ball park for a basic board w/a basic screen w/o ACE or noid?

You would take everything out of your frame so it was empty.

You re-install :

The lower board mount screw
The solenoid mount
The solenoid plunger with sear

You get:

A solenoid coil
Board
H.E.S.
Wire harness
All the parts to make the new board drop in and ready to go

When will these be officially ready?

When will these be officially ready?

This year.

We already printed the PCBs, we just need to select a color and solder on the components.

The first run will be 100 boards assembled. That means: complete drop in replacements ready to go with all parts in 100 assembled units.

I'm trying not to rush this board out to sales. With the need so high for them, I want zero issues with the hardware /software.

I know that's not a definate date to answer the question at hand. But that's all I have to offer before I see the prototype back next week to run paint through it.
