OK guys, here is the a1 software flasher and a update to the current 1.4 a1 software. this should help with the ball detection during extremely fast shooting conditions.

BEFORE WE CONTINUE: remove air source to your marker. safely discharge any air in your gun and remove the barrel. make sure there is no paint in the marker. do all software upgrades with the air system removed and in safe mode.we have included the 1.4 version in this zip file 1, because i couldn't figure out how to take it from the zip file and 2) because if you have trouble installing 1.5 there will be a back up.

now before i continue less is more. down load the flasher file and the additional 1.5 file as well as the usb driver file. make a folder on your computer named angel software this will help keep track of them. first install the file that says
angel 1 flasher. allow this to install it to where it suggests it to be. make a short cut from your program file to your desktop so later its easier to locate.
next click on and install the file usb drivers.now restart your machine. 2 steps back. to complete this mission you will need a min i usb cable. same cable used for a mp3 player or camera. (like 10 bucks at staples or like store). double click on the angel 1 flasher utility on your desktop. this will bring up the flasher. it will have a file box looking for you to add a file to it. locate the a1 1.5 file and double click on it. it should put it in this dialog box. open the right grip panel and locate the mini usb port. plug the cable into your usb port on the computer then turn the gun on and put into safe mode. the flasher should be saying "connect gun" install the cable end into the mini usb port on the board. in a second or 2 it should change to a slide control that says slow------------fast. set it 1/2 way to be safe.hit flash and the led/diode on the back of the gun will flash lots of pretty colors.when it has stopped flashing wait 30 more seconds. unplug the cable and turn the gun off and then back on.

OK NOW HERES IS MY DISCLAIMER! PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMPUTER WHEN INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE. IT MAY ASK YOU TO INSTALL WINDOWS DRIVERS. IF IT DOES ,ALLOW IT AND BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. THE REASON BEING IF YOUR WINDOWS SERVICE PACK IS OLD THE UART TO USB DRIVERS MAY NOT BE UP TO DATE. I NOR ANY ONE ELSE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU CRASH YOUR COMPUTER AND LOOSE ALL THE DIRTY PICS YOU HAVE SAVED.ME, BOB AND THE OTHER MT"S HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE AS WELL.

try these settings 1st set are safe and fast. 2nd set are fast as hell but on the edge.

1) mrof eyes on 20
dwell 7
trigger filter 50%
loader speed 12
2) mrof unlimited
dwell 6 to 6.5
trigger filter 5%
loader speed 14-16

click the word "here" in register area. you must register and it will take you to the software.

There is already a 1.7?

BoB

Yes, some small changes based on information received from the customers. Also, a new instruction sheet for the install. They can be found on FMA and should be on WDP's site soon.

I'll just flash to 1.7 then.

Bob,

It would be nice to know what issues the software versions address as they are released. For example, what does V1.7 fix.

Thanks,

Ed

Right now we are just trying the get the updates out there. Once WDP has these items are their site, there will be complete information regarding any updates. Real briefly, 1.7 has small changes to the eye logic and address's the issue where a few customers have put their markers into safe accidentally while playing.

I would think that WDP would release markers with the latest version at the time. However you can flash it so it doesn't make that much difference.

anyone with problems phone bob, it took us 2 days of trying but we cracked it in the end.

the main problem is installing the programs out of winzip, by using the insatl button in winzip to insatl the program from winzip to your applications folder.

basically you cna instal it using winzip but you cant run it from winzip propeerly, so instal it through winzip then click 'insatl' on the winzip window to properly put the progam into your computer then open it from your start menu,.......then try plugging int eh marker.

ie -the main issue is that u cant run the flasher or usb drivers from winzip, they have to be taqken out of wizip.

oh, and thanks bob.

or more simply put you must unzip the file (using Winzip, PKZIP or any of the many compression programs available) into a folder and run the program from that folder
