New GT platform upgrade

James@MacDev · 02-05-2013, 10:54 PM

In 2013, MacDev will be releasing a major upgrade for the successful Clone GT platform. This new level of technology will give MacDev users access to what will certainly be the most advanced paintball electronics package ever released.

The new GTi electronics system features a brand new high performance microprocessor, and ram chips to handle the new advanced sensing system exclusive to the Clone GTi (patent pending). The GTi will have an on board speaker for tones, and a full colour OLED for graphics, both of which will be user adjustable. Bluetooth expansion and on board USB will give a range of communication options, which combined with free rolling firmware updates will ensure that your MacDev marker is always ahead of the game.

For all you loyal GT customers, please feel secure. We have considered you in this update. If you have purchased a Clone GT, you will be able to upgrade to a GTi, a fair and reasonable scheme to facilitate this process will be devised. You can safely buy a Clone GT tomorrow knowing that you will be looked after at the time of GTi release.

More info to come soon.

The first live demonstration will be in Europe Feb 16th at the MAXS open house event www.maxs-sport.com / www.facebook.com/maxssport, the second live demonstration will be at the Paintball Extravaganza in the USA.

Whoa a so you pretty much don't need the pressure tester anymore. Do we have to buy a new board? Or is it something we can update by downloading? I hope it isn't that expensive if we do have to buy it..x.x

Fair and reasonable scheme - I'm guessing send your board +$ for the new platform. I'm hoping it won't be too much.

a plan, design, or program of action to be followed; project.

You know, the business and/or non-US utilization of the word which doesn't have a negative connotation

It's not going to be a downloadable update, it will be a new board. All of your questions will be answered soon once the official release happens.

You will probably have to send your whole marker if a pressure sensor has to be installed. But I can't wait!

This upgrade will sure be something to corner the industry on trying to copy the GTI.
