oh man, this is awesome. My tadao board came today!! first of all Id like to give a big round of applause for everyone who worked on this board. Great job guys! Ill let someone else write a review, cause Im kinda sick.. but feeling a lot better since I got the board :). Its amazing. All I could ever want. Its easy to program to your liking, its easy to install, its just perfect. cant wait to shoot something with this beast. Absolutely great job!
And if the screws that fasten the board to the frame are too long, just wrap some tape around the top and leave a little threading open at the bottom.
Oh and if someone could help me out with the intellifeed settings, it would be greatly appreciated.

hmmm...all you could ever want and you haven't even shot paint with it...:notsure:

yes. Right now, I am mostly satisfied. I have all the modes I want, I can hear how fast it is, and the eyes work well, so yes, for now, it is all I want in a board. except for the fact that it didnt come w/ a manual and new mounting screws, and that intellifeed problem.

eric made a mistake and forgot to ship the mounting screws to a small number of you. he caught his mistake and shipped screws and another small suprise to everyone that ordered in the first fifty.ill post the manual but i am not aware that that was omited. what is wrong with the inteli feed? explain so i understand

well, on my stock fly board, the intellifeed works fine. when i hook it up to my tadao board, i pull the trigger and the hopper doesnt spin. I have tried settings 1,2,3,5, and 10 (the blue and red flickering). still, no movement. there are fresh batteries in the gun and hopper. I also tried resetting the board and keeping the factory settings and still no luck.
its good to hear that the mistake is being quickly fixed. ;)

ok i dont have a intelifeed loader so we will need to get some help here from one of the guys with one. what style intelifeed kit are you useing a trigger style or using the batteries from the gun to power the loader?
tman-89
11-21-2005, 06:25 PM
im using a trigger style I guess. the hopper still uses its own batteries, and the gun just tells it when to spin.

Sorry for the screw-up everyone. Mounting screws and manuals are on there way to all of those who didn't receive them. We were pushing so hard to get all of the boards out that we forgot those items, thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.

Hey, Im just glad that the problem is being dealt with at all. you could have told us to print the manual off the net and use the same screws...but you didnt and thats why you guys are teh §§§§.

Okay, I'm glad that the manuals and screws were taken care of. I know I kinda over reacted but although it is a small mistake, it is annoying. I had to call you out on it and am glad you responded in a professional way. Kudos for our Master Techs and the guys at Angel Force.

I installed my board also tonight. My intellefeed also does not work.
It is the style where the trigger just activates a relay in the hopper that has it's own power supply. It works perfect with my a4 fly board. Any ideas!! :pat:
were looking into that as none of use the intelifeed so we will let you know in the morning. sorry. looks like we will need to build one tonight.

Ooops, I need some mounting screws too.
No biggy really because I cant really do anthing with it untill next week anyways.
Ummm which manual do I use?

Beside the little intellefed problem which I am sure the MT's will correct shortly, I have never seen a gun shoot so fast in my 25 years of paintball. ( First gun was a 007 Nelspot) It is un-believeable. And the degree of adjustment is incredible . great job master techs. I am very pleased to say the least!!!!! It shoots so fast I won't be able to afford the paint!! :cheers:
What are the specs for the screws? I may have some at the office that will work.

Ken, when I put the intellifeed jack into the hop port, it works, but if i put the solenoid jack into the intellifeed port, the solenoid doesnt click. I dunno if this helps, but it was just an observation I made.

re read that is that how you meant to say it? i am not sure what u meant sorry lol.

yeah, sorry about that. In essence, if i switch the hop and int. jacks, the intellifeed works, but the solenoid doesnt.

I put a voltage meter on it (HOP PORT) and no voltage at any time setting is seen.:notsure: :fanboy:
interesting... :again:

the intellifeed is suppose to go in the HOP port and the solinoid is suppose to go in the SOL port.

Yes, I know that. I was seeing if there was any current in the HOP port, and there wasnt any, as the solenoid did not click or make any sound. That is if it would click when hooked up to the HOP port on the stock board. Sorry if that is a bit confusing, its 1 am here and Im really tired.

yes you are correct as eric and sean were doing intelifeed testing last night. were awaiting wills call now.

Backplate screws are a perfect fit.

Yes there are still a handful of boards left from the original 50.
As for the intellifeed issue, none of us have been able to duplicate the problem, as we can all get good voltage readings out of the intellifeed port (using high loaders dwell settings).
Those having problem should first try to turn up your loader dwell setting. To do this, degas the marker, hold the trigger down, then turn the marker on to enter programming mode (green light on board). Next, pull the trigger repeatedly until the flashing blue/red light appears (this is the last light sequence before the cycle starts over at green). Once you have reached the blue/red flashing light hold the trigger back until the light goes out, wait for the series of green flashes, then immediately pull the trigger ten times. This will set your intellifeed dwell to its maximum output.
The relays used in these hopper mods can vary and it is likely just a settings issue that will have to be addressed on a case by case basis. We have been in contact with Will at Tadao to verify all information and will make sure anyone with issues is taken care of promptly.

I tried that before and still, no luck. maybe I should pick up a voltometer (sp?). Should I send my board in or something? You guys will figure this out, Im sure.

Wait is this a problem with the first 50 boards or something? Should I get 1 of the first 50 or wait?
The screws and instructions came today, thanks guys!

sorry guys,was away for a few. what we have found so far is that the guys that have had the intelifeed issue is the relay that was used. most of the relays that have been used have reen rated to trip at 5 plus volts. the i halo kits we were and most of the others are doing were designed to trip at around 1.5 volts. the boards are designed to output 3 volts.sooo what we are basicly saying is the relay used for the ihalo or intelifeed needs to have a trip voltage between 1 and 3 volts. later on ill look up some standerd radio shack part numbers. so far it looks like the board is a big hit and other than a few bumps everything looks real good.

I think that Ken Has described the problem exactly. I hope he can tell us where to get a relay below 5 volt because I have been looking on the net for several days with no results. But in general it is a small problem. The board works perfectly and the speed and general adjustability of it is awsome. YOU need to get one ASAP!!!!!! Your Angel will thank you and reward you by shooting balls like a jet engine.
:fanboy:

Just got mine and Jim is working on looking for the 3 volt relays. Maybe Bob can help too since he was working on the iHALOs???
