------------
AEG Burst Wizard is a microcomputer controlled MOSFET switch system that also gives you burst firing capability. In additional, it gives you the sniper mode, LIPO battery protection and newly added Rate Of Fire (ROF) adjustment features.
Most AEG users agree that having a burst control saves you a lot of money on BBs. It also enhances the fun and fairness of the war games that you are playing. Especially our product comes with the sniper mode option. you also do not lose the automatic firing mode either!
With today's LIPO ready guns which can shoot up to 30+ shots per second, I challenge anyone who can repeatitively fire a 3-round burst without the aid of the AEG Burst Wizard! Don't waste your BBs anymore because you just can't release the trigger fast enough even if you wanted to. I know you may be one of the few who can for most of the time, but I bet that your bulls eye rate is dropping!
Just like a jet pilot nowadays can't fly a supersonic plane without the aid of computers, AEG Burst Wizard is your computer for the latest fast guns. Once you try out our AEG Burst Wizard, you'll agree that you can't play without one again! Especially most of the time, you don't even realize its presence at all.
For those that their guns can't hack the 11.1V LIPO because the added speed just break gearboxes left and right! The problem is over! Go get a LIPO and use it with the ROF adjustment mode from the AEG Burst Wizard. Drop the ROF back to where it supposed to be when running either 9.6, 8.4 or even 7.2 batteries!
Since AEG Burst Wizard just controls when and how the battery current is directed to the trigger switch and the motor, it cannot damage or shorten the usage life your guns at all. In fact, with soft starting, burst mode active braking and trigger switch arcing elimination features, it can only enhance the reliability and value of your beloved AEG collections.
Again, with version II, you now have MOSFET switch mode with ROF adjustment from 100% down to 50%! Nowadays, with all kinds of gear upgrade, motor upgrade and battery upgrade options, you cannot mimic the ROF of the real thing without this capability. It also enhances the life of your gearbox by not driving it so hard. Finally, with the help of our AEG Burst Wizard, your non LIPO ready guns can FINALLY safely run with LIPO too!
In version II, the trigger response has also been improved to the point that you don't feel that the AEG Burst Wizard is installed at all. In other word, just fire at will at either burst mode or MOSFET ROF mode.
-----------
Q: Will the trigger response be changed in any way? Also what is the usual time delay from the initial burst fire to actual full auto?
A: The trigger response is designed to delay just enough before allowing large battery power to go through it when the contacts are first coming together. I don't think any human being is fast enough to notice it but that is enough to prevent arcing from happening to the trigger switch and extend its operation time by a lot.
The delay is about 1 second after the ending of the previous burst if you do not release the trigger switch.
Q: Would it be possible to convert the standard Tamiya plugs to deans? Also would you have plans to add in a rate of fire adjuster to the system?
A: The product comes with mini Tamiya connectors only (0.9"L x .4"W x 0.3"H). You have to do the change yourself for using dean connectors. I can provide dean connectors seperately if requested at 2 dollars a pair (one male and one female).
ROF is now a standard feature for the AEG Burst Wizard Version II.
Q: All the MOSFET switch products have 3 wires, how come yours have only 2 wires in and 2 wires out? Does it have active braking?
A: This product does not require you to modify the trigger switch and allow you to connect it in-line with the battery and motor connectors connection. It has active braking feature and all the good stuffs from using a MOSFET. The maximum voltage is 16VDC and 80Amp. The product utilizes different approach to extend the life of the trigger switch and therefore you don't need 3 wires to run a MOSFET and you don't need to deal with the hassle of doing modification to your AEG and void the warranty of your gun!
Q: Why is it bad to unhook the battery from it when your battery isn't dead?
A: The fact that the board has to support multiple types of battery, for the computer to know it is a LIPO battery that you are using, it relies on the initial voltage and usage levels when it is fist plugged in. If you put in a pretty much drained LIPO battery, it would think that it is not a LIPO and does not enable the protection algorithm. So, if you unplug the battery often, just don't expect it to give you warning and shut off feature, that is all, nothing is bad.
Q: Do you need to change the setting of the chip every time you change the battery? If you go 8.4 to 9.6 or to a higher mah?
A: If you are running the regular burst mode and employ the same battery type and gun, the burst count setting does not change. A 3-round burst is always a 3-round burst. AEG Burst Wizard is really a plug-and-play unit. But if sniper or ROF are your preferred mode of operation, then you have to reprogram the board whenever battery power is lost to the board.
Q: Does you design also limit the amount of current/voltage that actually reaches the trigger switch? One of the benefits of MOSFETS is eliminating arcing at the switch. Your design is wired between the battery and the motor!
A: Our design approach is different from others. We want more users be able to enhance their guns and rifles without having to modify them and VOID THE WARRANTY from the gun manufacturers.
I believe the popular believe that the trigger switch that comes with a gun or rifle cannot take the high current from the battery to motor directly is blowing out of proportion. Given that any electrical and mechanical switch will degrade in time by use, but it should still last very very long. Much longer than your gearbox and other major parts of your gun.
As I mentioned before, our design has already reduced or eliminated the likelihood of arcing by making sure that the trigger contacts are fully engaged first before allowing high current to pass through them! Isn't it just what every design wants to achieve?
Q: hi. i saw this mosfet, and it seems like a great design. how does the burst settings work? how do you set it? other three-round burst mosfets ive seen have a dial or other way of timing the burst function to be in sync with the battery. how do you set up this mosfet? also how would it effect the selector switch? would it be safe-semi-3round, or safe-3round-fullauto? you said something about preserving the full auto feature and im not sure what you meant by that. thankyou for the help
A: There is a POT (knob) on the side of the board that you can adjust to select the exact burst count that you want. The easiest way to do is to adjust the POT using a little Philips screw driver on one hand and pull the trigger with the other hand until your desired count is reached.
You still get the safe-semi-3round (actually can be 1 round to 5 round). If you hold the trigger for more than 1 second after the last burst without releasing it, the gun will go to fullauto. But after you release the trigger, next time, it will go back to 3round burst.
Q: Hello there! I would like to know if the AEG wizard Version I also protects from electrical arching or is that feature only available in the Version II?
A: Both versions have it. But Version II has improved that feature somewhat. If you bought version I from me, you are entitled to a free upgrade by sending the unit back to me for software upgrade. Version II also significantly improves the trigger response to the point that you don't feel that you have a burst control device in between the battery and the gun!
Q: Can you send me a message on when you get the deans in? I will take at least one to try. Also to control the rof does this device reduce the voltage thats supplied to the motor?
A: I already have dean connector part available at $2 a pair (one female, one male). But you have to install them yourself. No, you don't want to control a motor by lowering its voltage. It is done by PWM (pulse width modulation) method. Even that requires techniques to do it well without affecting the torque of the motor in your gun!
Q: Wait, so this mosfet slightly slows down your trigger response? Aren't mosfets supposed to speed them up?
A: The term speed up is of course relatively speaking when compared to the response of a normal trigger switch without the MOSFET circuit
The idea is that to start a motor, you need as much voltage and current to create the biggest torque possible. With mosfet circuits where big current does not go through the trigger switch, yes I agree that it gives you the best torque possible because of the lower resistive connection between the battery to motor and extends the life of the trigger switch at the same time. The penalty is you need to act as a 'surgeon' and the MOSFET is the patient when you first acquire it!
Our design, even though you can argue that it is slightly slower, But we make sure that the contacts are mated first before allowing high current to pass through it to generate the best start up torque without needing a user to modify the gearbox to just use a MOSFET switch. The delay is well compensated by the elimination of arcing and the increase of torque! Besides there are a number of wonderful features that you can enjoy with a MOSFET circuit that have nothing to do with trigger response like burst mode firing, soft starting, sniper mode and ROF controls. All these can be realized using our plug-and-play AEG Burst Wizard.
For the sake of argument, let say for a gun that can fire 25 rounds per seconds, it means 40 milliseconds for the 1st shot (actually longer because it takes a few firing cycle for the motor and the gearbox to reach their maximum speed), Even if our delay algorithm is a couple of milliseconds after making sure the switch is mated first before allowing big current to go through it, I don't think anyone can realistically feel that the 1st shot of the burst firing or full auto firing is slowered by about or smaller than 1/20th or by 5%. But we have accomplished as much torque as possible and minimizing or even eliminating arcing from occurring and extend the useful life of the trigger switch too. All these still with a plug-and-play approach!
Q: do you ever plan on making a semi only mosfet one that lock out all other firing modes weather the selector be in semi or full auto? If you could make a plug and play version at an affordable price I'd get one maybe even 2 but for sure I'm gonng to get your version 2 for my DMR.
A: simple question may not produce a simple solution. To correctly produce one shot count in the auto mode regardless of gun type and battery voltage or technology used without having to tune it is beyond the capability of even the version II AEG Burst Wizard!
It is something you probabaly will see in the future version of our AEG Burst Wizard. But it is definitely in our development plan.
But, you can get pretty close realization of what you want from version II by adjusting it to 1 shot count for you DMR for the very first time you use it on. That is pretty much what you need to do once. If semi-auto mode is your normal firing mode, then version II will definitely prolong the life or your gearbox a lot by preventing the use of the hard mechanical stop in the gearbox for your every shot!
Q: just to make sure, this item will only enhance my gun, will not damage anything ? ( Is burst bad for your gun ? or slowing the ROF )
A: I don't think so. The burst mode stops the motor for you instead of you releasing the trigger to cut off electricity to the motor.
ROF just letting the motor to periodically run with no power (the momentum is running the motor at that time) to acheive slowing of the speed. The motor does not care much, it is just like you pulling the trigger many many times but without machanical wear and tear to the motor or switch, it is just smartly playing with the electricity going to it
