SW-COMPUTER-EVOLUTION!!

It was R6 on the top left of the big yellow cap in the bottom picture.

There are a few more parts so it takes a little longer.  I want to change a few tiny things to make assembly a bit easier.  Also see if there is anything I can do to cut the size down.  There seems to be too much empty space.

The computer does not get any stress at all in full auto.  That just burns the rest of the gun up    Only switching and breaking puts any real load on the computer.

I saw you wrote that the 8k memory was all gone now, so are you adding a bigger chip or anything in the EVOLUTION version ?

I'll look around and see if there is anything out there.  I really like the 8-pin package.

UPDATE:  It looks like in the Atmel world in this size that 8K of program space is the max.  Of course, my program is not very well written compared to what a real programmer could do...  If needed, 'two' CPUs is probably the way to go    Dual processors are pretty easy and that brings the biggest CPU power boost by far.  Parallel processors could be very useful for doing that 'two things at once' stuff

FYI,

I updated the EVOLUTION boards.  Not a big deal really.  I just fixed a few minor things and managed to make it 0.1 inch shorter.

The V3.2 software has all the known tweaks in it now.

Here is the parts list:

I have all the files here:

I also finally got the website updated:

So maybe I will be able to get back to work on the Mag Sensor again

All the latest and greatest design data is here now:

It should be getting fairly stable at this point.

Party hardy!!

Finally got mine installed and played this weekend: worked great, even on my extreme setup shooting mostly semi and 3-round bursts! Thanks again for a great product!

Hi,

The motor connector kit and all around 24 inch battery wires are all now standard.



The price is $75 again 

Sorry about that...  But I bought a 1/2 mile of #16 wire today and 200 FETs ($400 each) and I just needed a tiny bit more cash to pay for it all.      Gas and postage goes up too...  Maybe others can figure out how to do it cheaper, I can't 

But this night is sort of special since "everything" is actually 'in stock' tonight!
