Abstract
A paintball gun control system according to this invention includes an electronic circuit board configured to receive a sensor signal corresponding to a measured value of a paintball gun characteristic. The circuit board compares the measured value with a desired value. Based upon that comparison, the circuit board adjusts one or more characteristics of the paintball gun to bring the measured value into conformity with the desired value.
Claims15
An electronic paintball gun, comprising:
- an electronic circuit board;
- a sensor configured to permit determination of a velocity of a painthall exiting a paintball gun and to cause a signal corresponding to the velocity to be sent to the electronic circuit board;
- and
- said electronic circuit board configured to control one or more operational parameters of a solenoid in response to the determined velocity.
