To all A5OG users...

Bit here... I thought I'd update everyone regarding the new v2.0 A5 Rampage code I've been working on. I've just completed the firing operations and I'm now starting on the programming section. The new code provides a fusion of our previous woodsball and tourney code versions in one set of code.

There are 8 firing modes in the v2.0 code:

Semi
Burst (programmable 2-5 shots)
Reactive
True Full Auto
Turbo+ (programmable ramp point)
Rampage (programmable ramp and burst rounds)
PSP3 (tourney legal)
NXL Full Auto (tourney legal)

New Setpoints:

MGRF (5-30 BPS)
Dwell (2-20ms)
Debounce (2-20ms)
Burst Rounds (2-5)
Rampage Burst Rounds (2-5)
Turbo+ Ramp Point (4-10 PPS)
Rampage Ramp Point (4-10 PPS)
Base Group Enable (Semi/Burst/Reactive/Auto)
Ramp Group Enable (Turbo+/Rampage/PSP3/NXL)

v2.0 Highlights:

The new code base has vastly improved trigger buffering over the prior code base, providing the smoothest "trigger walking" you've ever experienced with your A5 in all firing modes.

We've lowered the minimum rate of fire from 15 BPS to 5 BPS (after many user requests) and upped the maximum to 30 BPS (though it's not easily attainable). You'll appreciate this lower MGRF with our improved trigger buffering.

Any of the 8 firing modes can now be individually enabled/disabled, providing you a fully customizable marker. Pick any combination of the 8 modes you wish. Imagine placing the button extension modification on your E-grip and having the ability to switch to any combination of modes you program on the fly?

We've not compromised on any part of our legacy features... you'll still enjoy the instant on, ultra-efficient power consumption you've become accustomed to. There's some subtle changes to the LED operations, but nothing that you won't instantly catch on to...

The new code base will be available for all Rampage A5 users. It will require that we get the board back in our hands for reflashing. We're still working out the details on how we'll accomplish this, and there will be a nominal charge for return shipping (Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation).

Anyhow, just wanted to share. More updates will soon be coming on our web site.

(P.S. BT Users, you're next)

is there a way we can diy flash it, i like playing with electronics

Sounds good.

Your making it harder and harder for me to delay in buying one of your boards.

how can some of us 1.0 users upgrade to 2.0 without buying the new board?

All existing A5 Rampage boards are upgradeable... no purchasing of a new board is required. We do need to reflash the code... Sorry, no DIY/HEX code will be available.

Will you be posting a: NAME, ADDRESS, and E-MAIL ADDRESS so we will know where to send our V-1 boards to? Thanks!

Good to see ya Bit! Happy to hear about the upgrades to the A5 board. Sounds like its got just about all the features of my Ion Rampage board! That button mod sound cool too.
