Electronics: Boards, Modes, and Sensors

Electronics: Boards, Modes, and Sensors reference article.

Overview

Electronic marker systems introduced programmable control, sensor based anti chop features, and settings aligned with published rule structures.

Key Points

  • Electronic boards separated trigger input from valve timing.
  • Settings such as dwell and debounce standardized marker tuning.
  • Optical and reflective eyes helped reduce ball breaks.
  • Capped modes aligned with published competitive formats.
  • Battery management and environmental resistance improved reliability.

Details

Electronic boards allowed markers to operate with adjustable timing and logic parameters. Dwell and debounce settings helped regulate mechanical cycling, while eye systems verified ball presence prior to firing.

As rule structures developed, electronic modes were configured to match specified firing limits and behavior requirements.

Design considerations such as waterproofing, conformal coating, and cable stability contributed to equipment durability in adverse weather.
