Electronic Timing Logic
Overview
Electronic timing logic describes how circuit boards, solenoids, and firmware coordinate the actuation sequence in electronically controlled paintball markers.
Key Points
- Control boards regulate solenoid activation intervals.
- Sensors identify breech status and firing cues.
- Logic parameters define dwell and reset timing.
- Electronic timing maintains consistency across environmental conditions.
- Different firmware structures use distinct timing models.
Details
Electronic timing logic replaces mechanical constraints with programmable control sequences. When the trigger is activated, a sensor registers the input and the control board energizes a solenoid according to preset timing parameters. This solenoid movement directs air into a valve or bolt assembly, initiating the firing cycle.
Key timing elements include dwell duration the time the solenoid remains energized and reset intervals that determine when the system prepares for the next shot. Sensors such as breech eyes provide information about paintball position, allowing the control board to postpone firing until conditions are suitable. These relationships ensure that the firing sequence maintains predictable timing even when environmental conditions vary.
Different electronic architectures employ varied timing logic models. Some maintain fixed dwell values independent of firing rate, while others alter timing dynamically in response to battery voltage or solenoid load characteristics. These behaviors fall under electronic timing logic because they involve internal firmware structures rather than mechanical event sequencing.
