| Review: |
I wanted a board capable of unlimited eyes off ROF, which my M7 board does not support, so I bought this chip and a Lucky Un1 board shortly before Lucky ditched the US and hopped back across the pond.
First things first, make sure the chip is ALL THE WAY INTO THE SLOT ON THE BOARD! It doesn't look like it'll fit, but if it's not all the way in, the board will randomly shut off and generally act weird. Adjustment is pretty standard; turn tourney lock off via one of the four dipswitches, hold trigger while powering on, and release. Pull trigger until desired light shows (ie, purple = Quickstart mode, red = dwell, etc.) Hold, pull trigger desired number of times, wait for the number to be read back to you, turn gun off, turn on again, mow fools. Pretty basic.
First, the issues. For starters, it really is irritating to have the board blink back at you 26 times after you clicked the trigger 26 times to set the MROF at 26 bps. I know what I set it at, just accept it and stop wasting my time! This is standard procedure for most boards, but I noticed it far less on my Tadao. Secondly, it misses trigger pulls sometimes. This may be a trigger issue, but my Tadao never did this. Thirdly, the ABS dipswitch does not work, so ABS is always adjustable.
On to the good: This thing rips, obviously. No need to go into that. Quickstart modes are awesome, and it lets you become tourney legal by adjusting one setting, rather than five or six. The adjustability is very good, more so than my M7 board. Ramp start, safety shots, ramp timeout, ABS time out... all kinds of cool stuff is adjustable. No, it doesn't have the "super fancy cheater breakout 14 bps auto for 5 seconds, ramp at 20 for 3 seconds, semi for 19 seconds, unlimited ramp eyes off for 3 hours" stuff, but this will suffice unless you suck.

| Conclusion: |
Solid chip. Go for it if you can get ahold of one. |
