How to: APE Board Programming (A5, Cutom Pro-E, Alpha Black)

I've searched and not found a video on programming the APE Board. The manual can be confusing, so I am putting together a video myslef (DUE OUT NEXT WEEK). But here are some specs and information:

SELECTING YOUR FIRING MODE
Your Rampage™ board comes preloaded with 7 firing modes. To change modes, press the Mode Selector Button. Each time the Mode Selector Button is pressed, the LED indicator will blink, indicating what mode is selected. Each mode has a corresponding LED blink sequence.


PROGRAMMING MODE
The first programmable setpoint is the MGRF (the LED will be solid Red). Each trigger pull advances to the next setpoint indicated by the corresponding LED ID color (refer to the Setpoint Table).

When you have reached the setpoint you wish to verify or adjust, press the
Mode button again. The LED will now repeatedly “blink” corresponding to the current setpoint
value, allowing verification. Pulling the trigger again will advance to the next setpoint.

To change the setpoint value, press the Mode button once again. The LED will “flash” indicating it’s ready for a new setpoint value. Pull the trigger accordingly to enter the new setpoint value (the LED will blink for
each trigger pull). Press the Mode button one more time. The LED will give you another “flash” indicating it has accepted the new setpoint value.

The LED will revert back to “blinking” the new setpoint value. Verify your new value, then pull the trigger again to advance to the next setpoint.






MGRF - MAX GLOBAL RATE OF FIRE
Sets the maximum BPS Rate the marker can fire in all firing modes.

DEBOUNCE
Sets the trigger debounce time (in milliseconds) for all firing modes. Lowering the debounce time can potentially cause erratic firing operation. Increase the debounce time if required until the erratic trigger operation ceases.

DWELL
Sets the solenoid dwell (in milliseconds) for each shot fired by the marker. Lowering the dwell period will conserve battery power but may not reliably trip the marker sear. Raising the dwell period may be required to reliably trip the marker sear due to mechanical issues or higher rates of fire.

BURST MODE ROUNDS
Sets the number of rounds fired for each trigger pull in Burst Mode.

RAMPAGE MODE ROUNDS
Sets the number of burst rounds fired in Rampage Mode.

TURBO+ PULL RATE
Sets the trigger pull rate required to ramp from Semi-Automatic operation to Reactive operation while in the Turbo+ Mode. Reactive Mode operation is maintained until the trigger rate drops below the pull rate setpoint.

RAMPAGE™ PULL RATE
Sets the trigger pull rate required to ramp from Semi-Automatic operation to Burst operation while in the Rampage Mode. Burst Mode operation is maintained until the trigger rate drops below the pull rate setpoint.

BASE GROUP ENABLE
Allows you to enable/disable the Base Firing Modes. Refer to the Base Group Firing Mode Table for values.

RAMP GROUP ENABLE
Allows you to enable/disable the Ramp Firing Modes. Refer to the Ramp Group Firing Mode Table for values.

Stormshadow - this should help you out a little bit!

OMG dude.....that makes perfect sense now...you are the man !!!!

Gotta keep this on my list! Have to reprogram for next weekend.
