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

[p8ntbal4me]

Wow, that is looking really good, and a lot simpler than the original boards as well.

Might have to order 2 of these from ya! LOL

*also, do you intend to make a new housing for the eye? I'm talking about the black plastic part that fits over the eye and mates to the bottom of the xmag body.

I was looking at one last night actually.

I don't know where to begin making it so id haveto consult with someone prior to committing to doing a run.

I'm sure we can make them if there was a demand for them.

We have received pricing for lenses.

Well, without that critical part unfortunately it will be hard to seat the eyes into an x-mag. Its a part you don't easily lose, yet at the same time if you did lose it, it would suck a lot.

They look more simple because the parts needed for the old main board to receive a signal no longer are needed with an upgraded circuit and new software.

The eye input now runs directly to the board and the main board requires no more extra circuitry.

I am toying with the new power lead idea.
Rather than have a wire with a POS lead on it, were going to test a longer bolt and shim/clamp to secure the voltage in to the main board through the ACE.

[p8ntbal4me]

do you have a time frame for assembly and testing?

For what?

The ACE. Or the main board?

UPDATE ON THE ACE BOARD

We started making some small changes to the foot print.

The v1.0 board will work just fine for testing purposes. Now we are looking at wire management before putting the board into production.

This is the v1.0 circuit with 2 small changes to make it v1.2



Once testing is done, we will send the proof out for manufacturing.

UPDATE ON NEW ACE

Parts came in today for the ACE.



We will start assembly Monday.

No...NOW!!!

is ace better then break beam?
in a technical aspect not a preferencial aspect.

ACE = Anti Chop Eye

An ACE could be a breakbeam like on nearly every gun today or a reflective eye like on the EBlade Cockers or the XMag.

Breakbeams are better cause they did not have issues with dark or two colored paintballs.
If you know how to set the reflective eye and did not play with paint that has a dark shell you have no problems with it.

[p8ntbal4me]

The best eye system out there is a break beam infrared where the beam i.s not visible.
You get the best results with a paired IR emitter and detector.

Reflective eyes when properly mounted will produce a similar result. But like anything, you need to make/building it right

[knownothingmags]

Awsome will have to get an ace along with my two or three boards

[p8ntbal4me]

No...NOW!!!

I started on the boards last night.
Without the prototype I wasn't able to test.
But we will have the new ACE ready for testing.

We decided to work on some new advancements in the eye sensing software and pair it up with optical components that work best with our software.

We will have more on this in a few weeks!

Pre Order Price Reduction Closes In A Few Days Guys!!!

Went to send a payment, but I noticed you demanded payment as a gift..

I'm not really comfortable with that, seeing as how that provides no legal recourse to recoup money should anything happen (not that I think it will, but 160 dollars is not something to just throw around either).

You can make a standard payment, but the fees will be added to the balance upon shipping the product.

You must understand that as soon as your payment is made is is sent in to have YOUR board made. Once the production was started everyone can not get their deposit back.

I recommend you make the $100 minimum payment if you are worried about your money going to something other than what you paid for.

Backing out of the pre-order is not possible. Keep that in mind when you decide to jump in.

Everyone wants the new boards, ace boards, upgraded parts, etc.... that all cost money to build.

We are at the point where the deposits paid for the materials (parts to be placed on the board), and the board house to order the printed circuit boards to be made.

In the same boat, I have had to front $100 to make 2 proto-type ACE boards, buy all the wires for the wire harnesses to be made, and stock all that stuff here so when the boards are done and being shipped off to be flashed for code,.. everything else will be ready to ship.

I understand that $160 is a lot of money to "GIFT", but trust me when I say that my investment on these boards wont break even until we hit the 100th board sold. To date, Im well over $10,000 into this project. That doesn't include the ACE boards, RF kits, software, parts, and labor yet.

I think when you see the pile of black boards ready for parts sitting at the board house you will feel better about it. Only problem with that is you would have missed the price reduction for the new boards by then.

I get what your saying about the risk, there defiantly is a risk here. Like all projects performed here, we either take the risk and get something or we dont and keep the cash for another project later on.

Its all in what you want out of this,....
