OLED FEATURES & NEW YAKUZA BOARDS

OLED (organic light emitting diode)
* More power efficient than LCD (liquid crystal) because each pixel emits light, so power draw is proportional to the number of lit pixels
* Sealed during the manufacturing process so it's very durable, moisture resistant, vibration resistant
* Ultra bright, easily read in direct sunlight or at night

ABB (anti-breech bounce)
* One of the biggest new software features developed by Tadao Technologies
* Dramatically reduces the chance that the last few balls in a powered loader are not chopped when they're thrown down the feed neck and actually bounce off the bottom of the breech
* Non-adjustable feature runs in the background but monitors the feed rate and adjusts the ball-in-place delay on the fly along with a dedicated eye scanning mode to ensure a ball stays in front of the eyes when the rate of fire slows down

MODE/FIRING CHANGES
* 10 distinct firemodes (instead of 12, due to consolidating the ramping modes)
* Specific PSP, Millennium, and normal ramping modes
* New ramping percentage adjustable from 10% to 500% which scales with the user
* Rate of fire adjustable from 10 to 30 bps with 1/2 millisecond fine cycle time tuning


OLED SCREEN FEATURES
* Displays set rate of fire, current rate of fire or game timer, current fire mode, battery level and eye status, all at the same time
* Extremely fast text-based menu
* Real time rate of fire with average or maximum modes
* Adjustable game timer, 1-20 minutes with 10-second countdown sync
* Adjustable brightness for use in scenario play or night play
* Adjustable text size for the current rate of fire and game timer (Geezer mode?)

BOARD HARDWARE FEATURES
* 16 Mhz processor
* 4 million times per second interrupt based trigger scan rate
* Built-in RF loader support via plug & play wiring harness

GUN SPECIFIC FEATURES

Marq/Closer/Protege/Vice
* Will include grips with window
* Fully utilizes the 4C eye system and shows the number of eyes currently running along with top/bottom eye indication on the OLED screen
* Removable OLED screen module allows the user to optionally purchase additional OLED screens in different colors
* Tentative release date: Late December 2007 - January 2008

The ABB feature is greatly needed in alot of markers today. They sound pretty cool.

Dude... Wait, what?

Reduces the chance that... balls... are not chopped?:confused: I think I know what they meant, but I got a chuckle after reading that.

[BigEvil]

Is this made specifically for a new gun or will this be offered on all of the new tadao boards?

[Mind'sEye]

That sounds like the code really uses the 4 eye potential to it's fullest by using an automatic BIP, but only if necessary.

It will be available for all the Bob Long markers, it will also be available for the Ego, DM, *******, basically everything you can get a Tadao board for. But the four eye features will only work for the Bob Long markers

Could have been worded better. It reduces the chances that the last few balls will be chopped which seems to be a common problem nowdays.

Yeah, I know what they meant to say, but the inadvertently said the opposite. I just got a chuckle out of it.

Have you tried one yet? Any good?

They arn't out just yet, but every Tadao board I've ever used has been great. The guys at Bob Long who are testing them in thier Closers are raving about how great they are.
