Functions

ASTER gives you the option to suit:

	Burn SELECTOR MODES (gen. 2) Two selector sensors allow you to accept advantage of upwardly to 343 fire selector modes variations, depending on the device firmware edition. The following modes are avaialble for pick: Safety* – it prevents your gun from firing, even if safe lever is removed Semi – allows you lot to fire one shot per one trigger pull Binary – allows for firing one shot on the trigger pull and another shot upon release Burst – enables y'all to shoot a pre-determined number of Bulletin board system, which is very useful in MILSIMs and when using low-caps. There are 2 Burst modes bachelor: Full – flare-up is shot in total, fifty-fifty if the trigger is released early Interruptible – burst tin be interrupted past releasing the trigger early Burst / Auto – available for Full flare-up fashion only; it allows for extending a burst by whatsoever number of shots – if you hold the trigger after the burst is shot, it switches to Auto manner Car – shots are fired as long as the trigger is pulled Semi Ramping – if y'all pull the trigger very fast, information technology switches to Automobile manner You tin check burn down selector configuration possibilites provided by detail firmware editions here. Please annotation:* In case of Regional lock, just Semi style is available. Check the police in your land.
	PRE-COCKING (gen. ane.five) Victory in the game is often a thing of fractions of seconds. Thanks to Pre-cocking, you proceeds trigger reaction similar to a real gun. It allows for initial spring compression, which significantly speeds up the trigger response. The bound is automatically compressed after each shot. Manual mode – it allows you to gear up pre-cocking boost time between 1–250 ms with ane ms precision and provides automatic voltage drop compensation. Pre-cocking is fully operational regardless of fire selector mode. Please note:Using Pre-cocking increases vesture and tear on the gearbox.
	MAGAZINE This feature allows for simulating magazines of lower chapters than actually used. Even if you accept a loftier capacity mag, this function lets you lot truly increase realism of your game by imitating that your magazine is existent-cap. Then, afterpre-adamant number of BBs is shot, you will take to wait for previouslydefined corporeality of time earlier a next shot can be fired, as if you were really replacing empty magazine with a full 1. In case of Advanced and EXPERT firmware, you lot tin also set Low ammo alarm.
	SERIES Prophylactic LIMIT An AEG tin continuously fire a predefined number of Bulletin board system in a unmarried series. This can exist used as protection against trigger jam. Important notice: In case of an emergency, you tin always stop firing past switching the fire selector position.
	SNIPER Filibuster Information technology lets you set delay between shots or series to simulate the filibuster from reload or recoil. You tin set 0.2 s,0.5 s,1 s,2 due southor3 due southdelay for Avant-garde firmware and0.01–5 s for EXPERT firmware.
	ROF Command This enables a reduction in a gun's rate of fire. Yous employ stronger LiPo batteries, and still take a ROF merely similar in a existent gun. Power – uses PWM to decrease ROF. Thank you to this, gearbox works smoothly, which decreases vesture and tear of AEG internal parts. Delay – adds breaks between shots to decrease ROF. Information technology gives you more realistic experience. Adaptive – you just need to ready your desired rate of burn. Then, power and delay are automatically adjusted to achive this ROF Bones firmware: 6 Power settings Avant-garde firmware: half-dozen Ability and six Filibuster settings Adept firmware: Ability: 100–one%, Delay: 5–1000 ms or Adaptive: 1–100 RPS
	SMART TRIGGER We know how vital the fast trigger response is during combat. This is why we accept developed the Smart Trigger office. Information technology enables yous to accomplish faster trigger response. Information technology works with the ROF Command System. During the commencement shot, the microprocessor sets the ROF control to 100%. After the first shot, it switches to a previously programmed value (e.chiliad. l%). As a consequence, the first shot is fired at a full ROF, and subsequent shots at a reduced ROF. The best results can be achieved when using a battery with voltage higher than standard. For example, if you lot use a seven.iv V battery, you can supplant it with xi.1 V. In this way, you will achieve faster trigger response with the aforementioned rate of burn than with a standard battery. Works merely if ROF is decreased by using Ability settings of ROF control.
	BATTERY PROTECTION (gen. 2) Protection confronting over-discharge of the battery. Mod LiPo and LiFe batteries are very sensitive to over-discharge. If you practice not want to harm the battery and you intendance about its service life, this protection is indispensable. The microprocessor monitors the bombardment voltage constantly. When the voltage drops down to a critical level, it will not allow firing. The number of bombardment cells can be detected automatically.
	Low Bombardment WARNING When the bombardment voltage drops to a predefined level, the motor will vibrate at regular intervals. A user is warned five times before the battery is discharged. Each warning is communicated by 3 vibrations: HIGH → MID → Loftier.
	ADAPTIVE ACTIVE Brake It automatically adjusts the motor'due south braking power according to your needs. This prolongs the lifespan of the motor. There is besides an pick to set the motor braking ability manually.
	EQUALIZER It enables dynamic trigger betoken, which allows yous to shoot fifty-fifty faster. Off – to burn a next shot, y'all demand to release the trigger until it reaches the selected trigger sensitivity level • 2LVL – to fire a next shot, it is enough to release the trigger past ~forty% of trigger movement • 1LVL – to burn down a next shot, it is enough to release the trigger by ~20% of trigger movement
	Wheel DETECTION (gen. 1.v) Thanks to the gear cam sensor, drib-in unit precisely detects in which position the cycle should end. Therefore, even the shortest trigger action produces at least one full cycle. The sensor detects the gear cam instead of teeth, so it is possible to use all types of gears: Space Torque-upwards, DSG, SSG, nineteen-tooth and standard. Thanks to the cycle detection role you get: Automated Burst– there is no demand to manually set the burst time. Yous can simply set up the number of rounds shot in a burst (available options depend on the firmware edition). Full cycle – when pre-cocking is off, the drop-in unit ensures that the gearbox completes a full wheel. This way yous gain college reliability.
	CUSTOM VIBRATIONS Bachelor in Skilful firmware.
	NOTIFICATIONS SETTINGS You lot can enable or disable information and alert vibrations, and make your gun stealth.
	USER PROFILES Available in Practiced firmware.

Other astonishing ASTER features include:

	DIAGNOSTICS This feature allows you lot to troubleshoot your AEG in case of any result. Errors are communicated in one case they occur, and their description can exist found in the GCS App.
	FIRMWARE UPDATE GCS allows for making firmwareupdates via the internet, which enables you to chop-chop apply changes, improvements and bug fixes.
	SMART FUSE (gen. 2) Smart fuse protects your AEG's battery, motor and the controller, fifty-fifty in instance of reverse battery connection. A combination of current, voltage and temperature measurements makes your AEG installation highly reliable. Information technology protects the MOSFET against overheating, overloading and brusk-circuiting. If your airsoft gun becomes jammed, this function protects the motor and battery against damage.
	MOSFET Do y'all want to achieve a higher ROF and faster trigger response? Are you planning a power upgrade of your gun? In that example, you need a MOSFET. It targets the energy from the battery directly to the motor, bypassing the mechanical trigger contacts. Equally a result, yous proceeds a college ROF of the gun and a faster trigger response.
	Built-IN SELF-TEST This allows you to quickly check whether the drop-in module is working properly. It helps to locate where the problem lies when annihilation goes wrong.
	COATING Thanks to its special conformal coating, our production is resistant to atmospheric conditions (Military machine Specification MIL-Five-173C).
	PRINTED QUICKSTART Make your run a risk start more hands with a new product. The quickstart contains basic information and hints.
