The
Yakuza Series USB board for the Ego 9 and Ego 10 includes a graphical
OLED based display system and full USB support. Unlike any other
aftermarket Ego board, it features both an optical sensor and
microswitch for the trigger, which the user can select from within the
menu system. A mini-B USB port is built right into the board, allowing
you to plug it into a computer running Windows 7, Vista, or XP, so you
can utilize the Tengu USB interface.
Tengu offers the ability to do secure firmware updates from the comfort
of your home or office, create custom boot screen images, and modify
settings. Boot screens can be imported and exported as bitmap image
files, allowing you to create them in image editing software like
Photoshop and easily share them with friends or teammates. Settings
profiles are treated in a similar fashion, and can be read off your
board, saved to a file, and loaded back into any of your board's
profiles or active settings.
OLED
(organic light emitting diode) displays have numerous advantages over
traditional LCDs. They have lower power consumption, higher contrast,
and, due to the manufacturing process, are sealed, making them highly
resistant to vibration and moisture. Unlike LCDs, each pixel of an
OLED screen is a light emitting diode and emits its own light. Power
consumption is directly proportional to how many pixels are lit, making
it easy to view, even in direct sunlight.
All
the necessary information is shown on the OLED screen, including eye
status, battery life, current fire mode and max rate of fire, and a
game timer. The settings are also easily adjusted through the full
text-based menu system.
The
Yakuza Series USB boards offer many enhanced capabilities. A new,
faster microcontroller runs at up to 48 Mhz, and provides integrated
USB 2.0 support with standard off-the-shelf mini-B USB cables. The
drivers are built into Windows, making installation very easy. The
asynchronous interrupt-based trigger scan is monitored at up to 12
million times per second. Additional adjustibility includes finer,
more accurate rate of fire, debounce, and dwell increments, plus
specific PSP/Millennium fire mode parameters to change the semi-start
shots and semi-reset times. 5 customizable user profiles are now
standard, and can be edited through the OLED screen or with the Tengu
USB interface on your computer. The rate of fire range has been
expanded to 5-30 balls per second to ensure compliance with any future
changes to league rules.
Included
is Tadao's industry first anti-breech bounce software, which helps to
eliminate chops when a loader is running low on paint and can't provide
a steady feed rate. A dedicated transmitter socket and wiring harness
provide RF support.
The
circuit board is the most important part of any electronic paintball
marker, and upgrading it can enhance all the performance
characteristics. Tadao's leading edge Yakuza Series USB boards provide
the user with the ultimate in adjustability and speed, plus the
ease-of-use of the Tengu USB interface so you can update your board's firmware and modify settings/graphics from home or office.
Note: USB cable is included. Additional cables are sold separately here.
The cable in use is a mini-B to A type, and is commonly found with
digital cameras, Blackberry phones, and other USB accessories, so you
may already have one.
