From GATE Electronics we have the ASTER for Version 2 Gearboxes. This 4th Generation AEG Control System is the Younder Brother to the TITAN V2.
Transform your AEG by replacing trigger contacts with computerized controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including proximity trigger sensor which offers even 250 sensitivity settings. Gain unique tactical advantage thanks to extremely fast trigger response and lots of other useful functions. ASTER's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor and the controller, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors, makes ASTER the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure ASTER – simply via trigger or through USB-Link / Blu-Link* and our advanced GCS App. To enjoy full potential of ASTER, you can upgrade its firmware to ADVANCED or EXPERT.
Whats makes the GATE ASTER Special?
Protection against battery reverse polarity
Proximity trigger sensor which offers even 250 possible sensitivity settings
Option to configure its main settings simply via trigger or completely through GATE Control Station App for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS
Built-in RGB led makes programming easier
Removing of safety lever is not required
No modification of gearbox shell needed, even in case of KRYTAC and ICS (when bolt catch lever is removed. This applies to ASTER Rev 1. Next ASTER revisions will be fully compatible with KRYTAC gearbox)
Optical gear cam sensor supports all types of gears: Infinite Torque-up, DSG, SSG, 19-tooth and standard
Binary trigger function as basic function
Premium level functionality at fair price – extremely profitable price-performance ratio
GCS App allows for making firmware updates via the internet, which enables quick applying of improvements
Features:
Custom Fire Selector Modes. Up To 343 possible combinations comprised of SAFE/SEMI/BINARY/BURST/BURSTAUTO/AUTO/SEMIRAMPING.
Pre-Cocking - Allows you to adjust the level of preloading of the gearbox between 1ms and 250ms, this significatly improves trigger repsonse and cycle reaction time of the RIF.
Magazine - Magazine cut-off after 'x' amount of shots fired with a cool down timer to simulate reloading.
Series Safety Limit - Continouously fire a predetermined number of BBs in a single series. Can be cut off by moving the selector.
Sniper Delay - Set up a delay between shots to simulate a delay from reloading or recoil. Basic Firmware options (0.2s, 0.5s, 1s, 2s), this can be expanded on with Advanced and Expert Firmware.
ROF Control - Enables a Rate Of Fire Reduction through Three means, Power - The Control System restricts the power to the motor, Delay - adds a break inbetween shots, Adaptive - Set your desired ROF and Power & Delay will be used to acheive the desired results. Basic Firmware (6 Power Settings), Advanced Firmware (6 Power, 6 Delay), Expert (100-1% Power, 5-1000ms Delay or 1-100RPS Adaptive)
Smart Trigger - This enables a faster trigger response. In conjuction with the ROF Control System, the Microprocessor sets the ROF to 100% on the fire shot and then reduceces it to the pre set value for the second shot. This Works best with a 11.1v Battery and you achieve a high Trigger and cycle time but with controlable automatic fire.
Battery Protection - Protection against over-discharge of the battery. LiPo and LiFe Batteries are sensitve to over discharge, this system monitors the batteries cell voltage and cuts off when the cell voltage drops to a critical level.
Low Battery Warning - When the Cell Voltage drops below a predetermined level, the motor will vibrate HIGH-LOW-HIGH a total of 5 time before the battery is discharged, informing you of a Flat Battery.
Adaptive Break Control - Automatically adjusts the motors breaking power. This can also be manually adjusted. This helps prolong the life of your motor.
Equalizer - Enables a Dynamic Trigger Point. OFF - Fully release the trigger. 2LVL - to fire the next shot, release the trigger by 40% of the trigger movement, 1LVL - to fire the next shot, release thje trigger by 20%.
Cycle Detection - Sensors Detect the cam on the sector gear ensuring a complete cycle of the gearbox everytime. Where the Sensors detect the cam, this control system works with all types of gears. This also enables you to use Automatic Burst where you are able to define how many rounds make up the burst and Full Cycle, when the Pre-Cocking is off the control system will makesure the gearbox completes a full cycle.
Custom Vibrations - Get Notification of Errors and other information through Vibrations of the motor (Only Avalible in Expert Firmware).
Notification Settings - You can Enable and Disable information and warning vibrations from your RIF.
User Profiles - Have Multiple Profile Set ups to switch between. (Only Avalible with Expert Firmware)
Diagnostics - Utilising the GCS App you can connect to the GATE ASTER and check for potential errors or why the RIF has cut-off. This feature also includes the DTCpedi, a complete breakdown of error codes and potential causes.
Built In Self-Test - A functionalilty test of the ASTER to check each compodent is working properly.
Smart Fuse - Protects your AEG's Battery, Motor, Control System, even if you accidently use a battery with the wrong polairty. Utilising Current, Voltage and Tempreture measurments it protects against overheating, overloading and short circuits.
Protective Coating - Special conformal coating, resistant to atmospheric conditions (Military Specification MIL-V-173C).
