E/X-Mag Microcontroller Programming (Atmel AT90S2313)

[A-Tach-One]

I'm in! Put me down for a programmer if there is a spot left. Your Paypal please, and I will send the cash. And backorder, I'm use to that. Thanks

ide do this, but i dont have a stock board anymore and my emag is still gone. also, im from milwaukee too.. where do you usually play? ide like to see the softwear sometime :)

We (Destructive Customs) have a programmer and would be interested in helping you develop the code. We also will be milling emags (ULE bodies only no karta or dallara at the moment) for the use of BB eyes will Aluminum eye covers. Drop me an email cjwilke at gmail dot com
Kayle did you ever get the HES to work with your pred board? Let me know if you want a pic, i managed to get mine working after frying 2 of them.

Ha Ha Ha. Call me crazy! I'm in. This project sounds very promising. The consistent updates and call for user input makes me think that LorneCash will, at the very least, keep me posted on the status of my purchase.

I could probably help you out with that... drop me a line. I would like a pic of it also if you wouldnt mind

Programmer for e-Mag board

Did any of you tryed using Atmel's AVR ISP serial programmer with the e-Mag board?
I found one for sell but, when I saw the manufacturer's web site, it says the ISP cable has either 6 or 10 pin but, looking at the board on my Mag, I only see 5 pins for the ISP. Despite that, the chip on my board (AT90S2313-4SC) is fully compatible with this programmer. Any ideas? Should I buy this programmer, knowing that it will be fully compatible with my Mag board? Thanks a lot and keep up with the good work!!

Atmel's AVRISP is the programmer I am currently using until the AVRISP mkII's are available. You will need the 6 pin cable... 5 connect to one plug and 1 connects to another.

I know nothing about programing, so sorry if this is a stupid question. I was wondering if, for a fee of course if you could modify or swap out some of the ramping modes?

Yea that's not hard but what else would you want? and don't even ask for any cheater modes to try and sneek by refs cuz i'm not about that.

As far as space is concerned all the modes combined except PR-T are still less code than PR-T by itself, so any additional mode would just replace that one and i'm sure that would give me enough space to do just about anything(within reason). This assumes no extra menus are needed cuz those take a lot of space too.

As far as the fee I'd have to quote you on a per case basis and you'd have to be really precise on what you wanted.

i email you with some questions . dont know if you got them, i will pm you w/ my request
thank you

I got them i'v just been busy. I've graduated now and have been working full time. I know you know this now but for anyone else who reads this when you email me give me 3 days to reply. Hopefully it won't be that long but i get a lot of emails now and don't have always have time to reply that day like when i was in school.

well you got back in touch w/ me asap. that was real fast.i can only guess at the email you are getting.this is a project long in comming, i feel it is going to revive the emag. i dare to say you have a lot of greatfull mag owners. Dont get me wrong i think the pred program is good, have one in my angel. but i dont think tag has out best intrest in mind when it comes to all the different boards they put out. you on the otherhand i feel do. thank you

Its most likely exactly as you expect. The 5th and subsequent pulls will also fire either full auto or 3rnd burst as long as a minimum fire rate of 4bps is maintained (250ms between shots). As soon as the ROF drops below 4bps (there's more than 250ms between pulls) the gun will be forced to start over with three semi auto shots.

This is not true "PSP mode" then.

In a true PSP mode once the gun starts to ramp it should stay in ramp mode as long as there is less than 1 sec. between pulls.

If there is longer than 1 sec between pulls then it should drop out of ramp.

What you have is more like a "Millennium mode" except they require a 7 bps minimum to start and maintain ramping.

Your set up would be legal, just a bit harder to use than required.

You're right, however, to do a 1 sec timer takes significantly more code. In trying to maximize the availability of other features I chose to let the min be 4 bps. Plus i figured that if you can't pull 4bps you can't pull 4bps you need to find a different hobby.

What you have is more like a "Millennium mode" except they require a 7 bps minimum to start and maintain ramping. Your set up would be legal, just a bit harder to use than required.

Like you said 4bps it is perfectly legal for PSP, and actually Millennium 2005 rules specifies an 8bps minimum to start and maintain ramping.

If anyone would like a legal Millennium mode the cost would be $20 please email me if you're interested.

hey there, i was trying to get some sleep the other night but my mind wondering off about this project and what cool stuff you could add (or I could add when i get my programmer :) )

now correct me if i'm wrong but emags don't have a real power switch like the xmags do right? (i've got an x so i don't know :P ). would it be possible to program one of the back buttons to work as a power switch? sort of a soft shutdown or standby mode feature. i figure you just have to tell the board to shut everything down and not read from anything except that one button.

now the reason i'm asking this is cos i was wondering if it would be possible to program a simple password protection thing that comes up when the board is powered up. it would just use a sequence of button presses and trigger pulls as the password. now i figured the problem with this would be that it would become real irritating having to enter the password everytime before a game, which is where the standby mode feature above comes into play. putting it into standy shuts the gun down but doesn't entirely shuts the board down so therefore remembers the password. so you can show up at a game, switch it on in the morning and put in your password. then for the rest of the day you just put it into standby mode between games. then at the end of the day, you just switch the gun off enitrely, either by using the batt saver plug, the off switch (for Xmags) or removing the batt entirely (for recharging) and the next time you switch it on, you'll need the password again.

anyways, just an idea... i'd be willing to sacrifice some of the fire modes for this feature...
