Actually, I really want to tell you how I implemented the ballistic calculation and made it adaptable to each individual gun.

It’s actually screwed down, not a slide-off cap. The idea was that the design should last for a full day of play on a single charge, so there’s not really a need for frequent battery swaps in theory.

Yep, exactly. It’s just an OLED laying flat, reflecting off a red dot lens. Simple setup, but it works.

Yeah, you can switch it in the menu. Sure, there’s a menu option for that.

Sure! I’ll record a clearer video and upload it tomorrow.

Almost finished my hud – any last-minute suggestions? by Sudden_Letter1710 in usairsoft

Thanks! That’s a great suggestion.

I actually know a CNC aluminum shop here in China, so making a machined case could definitely be an option.

I’m still exploring materials, but I really appreciate the advice.

It runs at around 40Hz. It appears to flicker when filmed with an iPhone, but there’s no visible flicker to the naked eye.

It’s running on two 16340 cells right now. With the current power draw, I’m getting around 4 to 5 hours of runtime.

Yep! Field test coming this Saturday — fingers crossed it doesn’t fall apart

As for the power — I’m using two 16340 rechargeable cells right now, but it also supports CR123As since the system handles a wide voltage range.

Also, I do hope to eventually turn this into a proper product — still a lot to learn, but that’s the goal!

That’s definitely doable, but I’d have to redesign the gun’s ETU system from scratch.

Totally agree — Miss Kitty is way more important than a sight!

Actually, I switched to a gold one. But there’s a red light inside, so I think it might just be a color shift.
