Hacking the E-mag?

**[M@g_D@ddy]** · 03-09-2002, 12:50 PM

whats the website for the green led displays?

**Have Blue** · 03-09-2002, 01:39 PM

Green LED displays right here: http://airsoldier.com (down the page about halfway - will hopefully have a dedicated 'E-Mag Parts' page up soon)

**[M@g_D@ddy]** · 03-10-2002, 05:21 PM

can u get different colored one's? like blue?
where do YOU order these from? like where does air soldier buy these from?

**Have Blue** · 03-10-2002, 07:57 PM

No, blue isn't available. There's orange, yellow, green and 2 shades of red.

**[M@g_D@ddy]** · 03-11-2002, 10:51 AM

man, blue is the best color, arg.
can u post pics of the orange ones the the two shades of red?
if one of the reds is like the stock led, u don't need to put it up.

**Have Blue** · 03-11-2002, 10:57 AM

I only have green in stock right now, as I felt it would be the most 'different'. You should be able to imagine yellow and orange pretty well

(photographing the displays to properly reflect the true emitted color is quite tricky anyhow)

thanks anyway

Have Blue, Im no expert on LED's but why are clear or white LED's hard to find? Ive seen them and I would think they shouldent be that hard to make

**Have Blue** · 03-16-2002, 11:01 AM

White LEDs are tough to find because a) they're a relatively new technology (red LEDs have been available since 1969 but white LEDs only came out around 5 years ago) and b) they're actually modified blue LEDs. White LEDs use a phosphor that glows white when activated by the light from the blue LED.

So they're becoming easier to make, but they're still expensive.

**Kaiser Bob** · 03-16-2002, 02:05 PM

so i guess it will be a while before a white LED display would be feasible....

**Have Blue** · 03-16-2002, 02:11 PM

Yes, it would be quite some time before even a blue display would be available.

check this site for some parts such as pbasic chips optical eyes and displayes.

Have Blue, the white LED's are blue LED's with a yellow phosphor layer in front right? so couldent you maybe take a yellow display use a window to get a blue/white looking display? Just an idea.

**Have Blue** · 04-08-2002, 09:03 AM

If it were that easy, it would have been done long ago.

The color of the phosphor itself isn't the issue - it's what color the phosphor will emit when activated and what wavelength is needed for excitation.

it looks like www.newark.com has the displays, do a search for "led alphaneumeric"

i have just riecently obtained access to a emag, so it looks like i might be joining the fun teehehe.

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 07-27-2002, 10:25 PM

I'm read of a few recend developments concerning Blue LED's so i'm still holding out hope i may get one for my EMag someday...

**314159** · 07-27-2002, 11:37 PM

single blue led's are a couple bucks a pop,

8 characters composed of a 5x7 matrex of led's would be expensive as hell.

would you sell your soul for a blue led display?

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 07-27-2002, 11:44 PM

Well..at the rate technology spins out of control i couldn't imagine it would stay that same price in say a year or two...

**314159** · 07-28-2002, 05:42 AM

and then again, there is always the price that people are welling to pay for led's. a couple cents for a red one, or a couple bucks for a pretty blue one..... oh so pretty.

/me blindly follows the blue led

yes master.

I dont know much about emags or electronics, I was just wondering if you could program the emag to tell you how much juice is left in the battery.
It would be more helpful than a game timer, I think..

I would have to think for awhile... if you held it under my nose.... probably.

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 08-02-2002, 10:17 PM

purple would be pretty cool too...(I know that's even less possible than blue..but oh well..)

**mxracer33x** · 08-05-2002, 11:46 AM

Does anyone here know anything about the emagnum board? Im purchasing a gun with one installed and would like to know, pros/cons of one or anything else you know.

hehehe, i have the pretty blue one on the bottom.

**Have Blue** · 08-05-2002, 12:40 PM

As far as I know, the E-Magnum board is simply a KM2 Morlock board pre-configured for use with the E-Mag.

**jeffremiller** · 08-05-2002, 06:30 PM

These are interesting... have you interfaced them with the emag? Care to share?
