Difference between COPS and Sensi ?

[GosuPaintballer]

What are the differences between the two ?

[kylelynch]

cops: it uses a laser to detect if the ball in the breach and rdy to fire

sensi: it uses a weight sensitive pin to detect if the ball is present

they both sorta do the same thing, check if the ball is in the breach. they just have different programs to tell them what to do when or when not the ball is present.

It doesn't use a laser. COPS and Sensi are basically the same things. COPS uses a pin to detect whether or not there is a ball in the breech. COPS was used in the Ir3, and the settings of it were user adjustable. You could set the sensitivity, and you could set the delay. Sensi is the newer version. It's been fined tuned by WDP and works alot better. Sensi now self calibrates, and there are 4 modes that it works it.
COPS and SENSI use the same pin sensor to detect paint. Sensi is just newer and more refined

sensi..."senses" the ball..."cops"sees the ball.

I was under the impression that COPS and Sensi used identical hardware and software - but the difference was that COPS was user-adjustible while Sensi was self-adjusting, based on the mode you selected.

Its a Crystal Operated Paint Sensor (COPS). It senses the ball too. I have my Ir3 right next to me and there is a rod, you can look it up in the manual on AOG if you want.

COPS and Sensi only differ in the software. It uses the same sensor with a rod sticking into the breech. There is no eye, there is no laser, there is no seeing anything....it's still a basically a pressure pad:wall:

but with a laser...
Does the 4 selfcalibrate like the speed? Or does it hold the settings like COPS?

Over on PBN, k-dog13 said there were 4 modes you could set it too (SEMI1, 2, 3 and 4). Kind of a dissapointment, i was looking forward to being able to set me SENS and BAS like with COPS2.

That is If i ever get the friggin gun. :angry:

Never miss COPS dude! Sensi is self calibrating on the first few shots. Easy as that you dont need to fiddle with anything!

And there were no lasers in Cops EVAR!

Tho I want sharks with laser beams attached to their heads! ;)

I think the idea behind WDP going the pressure pas route was to minimize problems with broken paint and dark colored paint that can potentially affect how eye type sensors detect paint. The idea was good but the implementation wasn't as refined on the original COPS as it is now with the Sensi. Sensi still has it's limitations but then again so do eyes.

[acsik]

Welp in theory you can use a reflective sensor instead of sensi occupying the same space. Fcoz you would have to drill another hole and widen the existing one. Just like the internal eye in the dye matrix.

This is what I thought too. Just a different name to accomplish the same thing. But there are NO LASERs or IR beams in either.

Ya know, if you sit and think about it from a programming point of view, You can't have identical software and have the function be so different without the Option of using it in a specified manner. If indeed the software was Identical why would you have to user calibrate COPS, and not Sensi? Hmmm? Or why wouldn't COPS self-calibrate like Sensi does? If you get my point, the software has to be different based on their function. I'll agree with the statement that the hardware is the same. But being a programmer myself, I dont' agree that the software is the same. Like I said, otherwise we'd see the same Self-Calibrating feature with COPS.

Just how I look at things i guess...

all of the hardware is exactly the same but the software is a smidgen different.

how do i know? i had to replace my sensi. and i had a long drawn out conversation with poorman and a bunch of other people about it.
