Nerve eys

[loudatom]

I was lookin at my nerve, and i started shooting it w/o air or paint, just noid clicking, and i noticed that without eyes, it shot, but with eyes, it didn't.(duh)But when i stuck my finger in the breech to fool the eyes, it still didn't fire as the noid. Is somethin wrong with my nerve or does it just have "anti-finger technology in it?" I have a ion and it works with me fooling the eyes. Im cofused. Please help.

Eyes are dirty...clean them.

While you have the eye removed to clean it, check to see if the eye works outside of the marker (best to do this in darkness, so the eye is not effected by natural/artificial light rather than it's own IR beam). If not, check to see if it is connected to the board securely. If it is, and the sensor still doesn't work, it is most likely damaged, and needs replacing.

If the eye works outside the marker, but not inside, then it probably wasn't mounted quite right.

also. the eyes may sense ur finger is and "odd shaped ball" --- i would hope so...--- which could have an effect....


buy a couple reballs check. or borrow some paint from a bud if you dont have any.

ok, thanks a million, you guys always come through on these forums

[W.K.S.]

why do u shoot yur finger in the first place?

[ratimpybigpimp]

He didnt shoot his finger. He put his finger in the breech with no air to see if his eyes were working.

Because he's a Masochist... :dodgy:

Take the eyes out, clean them, test them while their outside of the marker, and hopefully any problems will be solved.

With the finger trick, sometimes it wont work with just a finger in the middle of the breech. Sometimes you have to get up close to the eyes. I was dryfiring in my room one time and turned on the eyes. It didnt fire. Thinking about it this all makes sense. But depending on the situation, you ponder, then you stick your finger in the breech to "fool" the eyes. It fires. Then you laugh because of how stupid you were, right after the pain goes away.

This is because the Ion has a Break Beam vision system. This is where there are dual ACE's (an eye on each side of the gun) that point straight at each other, forming an invisible line. When that line (or "beam") is broken by a ball, or finger, the marker will fire.

On the other hand, the Nerve and Shocker have a reflective eye. This is where there is only one vision eye on either the left or the right side of the gun. It looks for a reflection from the ball. In the case where you put your finger inside to make it seem like there is a ball, it didnt see any reflection (obviously, your finger doesnt reflect light!). This is why many vision systems cannot see black paint. If you stick a ball in there (even without air), it will click......but only once. On the Nerve and Shocker, the board registers only once per click. So, you have to remove the ball every time you click, then put it back in.....it should click once every time the ball is re-inserted.

Break Beam systems are better, which has always made me wonder why SP put reflective vision systems on their higher end guns and the Break Beam system on the lower end Ion. :freak:

Hope this clears up the confusion.

It is actually possible for a reflective eye set-up to read black paint, your finger etc. if the eye logic is good enough (for instance, the Predator boards for the HALO B and Shocker/Nerve), and the eye sensitive enough (an example of this would be the E-Blade frames which have a wide range of eye adjustment and can be set to work with just about any paintball).

So, it wasn't entirely unreasonable for loudatom to assume that this should work, seeming as it is not a problem with some other reflective systems, but sadly, the Shocker/Nerve board version of SP Vision neither has the logic or adjustment to work with less reflective surfaces.

Ya I was wondering the same thing. I tried it with a paintball and it didn't work because it was black. Tried an orange paintball and it worked fine. Guess Nerves can't really read black paint. Like the break-beam eyes on my Ion better. Isn't that just sad?
