QuadMachine Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Oright troops. After a ton of effort I've finally got our ammo counter working. We're gonna make it for Android too when we launch the Indiegogo campaign (like kickstarter) so you droid users need not panic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNhf4kWcrIE I've struck a deal with Mars the God of War and he assures me for every like you give our Facebook page you'll be rewarded with a kill in your next skirmish ;-) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phobolt/391142060976614 I'll post up videos of the badboy working on FB next couple of days. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 looks nifty, not sure I'd want my phone with me on a skirmish tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47frizzle Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 hmm.... does it still count whilst a gun is shooting 50 rps? At that speed... it would just sound like a whirring death blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadMachine Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah It hmm.... does it still count whilst a gun is shooting 50 rps? At that speed... it would just sound like a whirring death blade. Yeah it'll actually do up to a 1000 a second thanks to a fast processor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 12, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 12, 2013 that's pretty cool, wouldn't personally want to strap my phone to my gun but it's certainly a good concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 guess you could use an old iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 12, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm more opposed to having a giant rectangle stuck to the side of my gun, it's not exactly high-speed low-drag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could serve as extra protection....... shield those bbs from a bit of your left side... i could see that working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMMIEDODGERS Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not bad, looks fairly decent, albeit the size. And with the iPhone's camera and sound, might be very good, you never know. Don't know if you have yet, but make a stress-test video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted September 13, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 13, 2013 how are you mounting this? i have had a google, and i can find no RIS mount for a iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadMachine Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 how are you mounting this? i have had a google, and i can find no RIS mount for a iphone The case has an arm that attaches directly onto any side mounted picatniny. It'll mount onto any RIS, foot prints pretty small too, will post up a video in a bit showing it inaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornleverpuller Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Do you have to program in how many your mag holds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 13, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 13, 2013 nope, as far as I can tell it uses the iPhone's built in penetrating radar to count the amount of BBs in the mag for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the sarcasm but I actually wondered if the same way it identifies bb' s coming out of the gun it could do it for loading as well.

MZKaleem Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It couldnt tell how many you are loading, because you pour that in with a bottle/speed loader, and sizes of speedloaders/lids of bottles are all diff sizes, also just the fact that it cant listen to how many bbs are in the magazine. It wouldnt be able to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47frizzle Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 yeh... that is a definite flaw unless you are using midcaps or lows that you defo know the capacity of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyras Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Is it just me or does the ammo counter screen look like the console for the auto-guns from Aliens? That kinda has me sold already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtTalbert Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I really like the concept and I completely understand the chosen platform, however, it is a shame that you haven't done an android version (albeit a bit can of worms as there's many sizes of phone out there) Maybe once this kicks off properly you will look into that market?You should start with the HTC One As I said, great concept and hope it works out well for you - Love the added ability of using the camera!

QuadMachine Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Is it just me or does the ammo counter screen look like the console for the auto-guns from Aliens? That kinda has me sold already... Good spot mate ;-) Yeah we'll do an Android version, and an Android case once we've got the physical design sorted. As for the BB count, you can input the size of your magazine in the settings. As for high caps where you don't know the exact capacity you can invert the count, so rather than counting down it'll count up, letting you know how much fire power you've laid down. Oh and you can also set when the critical alert goes off, inputting the number of BB's before you run dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 When the Google Glass comes out maybe you can make a port for that device? (Unless it runs android in which case your already working on it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
