When the LED is lit for the desired setting, press and hold the trigger until the LED goes out. When you release the trigger, the LED will blink to show the current setting. For example, if the current setting for debounce is 5, the LED will blink green 5 times. Once the LED stops blinking, you have 2 seconds to begin entering the new setting. To enter the new setting, pull the trigger the desired number of times. For example, to set the debounce to 2, you must pull the trigger 2 times. Every time you pull the trigger the LED will light. After all settings have been changed, turn the marker off, using the power button. Programming Example If you want to set the bolt forward dwell to 12, you should: 1. Make sure the marker is powered off and the tournament lock is disabled. 2. Pull the trigger and push the power button to turn on the marker. 3. The LED shows a rainbow sequence then stops on solid green. This is the debounce mode. 4. Quickly pull and release the trigger 1 time to switch to the bolt forward dwell setting. The LED will show purple. 5. Pull and HOLD the trigger until the LED turns off. 6. Release the trigger. The LED will blink out the current setting. 7. When the LED stops blinking, enter the new setting by pulling the trigger 12 times. 8. Wait until the LED turns back on, indicating programming has been completed. 9. Turn the marker off.
Fully functional in the Empire Invert Mini Based on the Musashi 7 software New model microcontroller runs at 8 Mhz for no hardware lag and the fastest code execution Enhanced power switching hardware for the solenoid Includes 12 fire modes: uncapped semi-auto, capped semi-auto, PSP auto-response, PSP 50% ramping, PSP 100% ramping, PSP burst, NXL full-automatic, auto-response, 50% ramping, 100% ramping, 3 round burst, and full-automatic • Asynchronously monitors the trigger switch, using an interrupt based scan at 2 million times per second • G mode setting allows 3 different options for every fire mode, giving 36 different “breakout” style modes • Adjustable ABS programming prevents first shot drop-off • AMB (anti-mechanical bounce) and CPF (cycle percentage filter) algorithms help to eliminate mechanical bounce and switch bounce • Power efficient software and hardware lengthens battery life • Programming mode allows changes to debounce, dwell, loader delay, AMB, ABS dwell, fire mode, fire mode max rate of fire, eye mode, CPF, ramp start, G mode, bolt delay, and training mode dwell • All settings are stored in non-volatile memory so they are not lost when battery is disconnected • One-touch startup enables the marker to fire instantly • Automatic 15-minute idle power down saves batteries • 4 eye modes: delayed, forced with force shot, test mode with rate of fire indicator, and reduced dwell training mode with rate of fire indicator • Low battery indicator hardware and software shows battery level each time the marker is turned on
Settings Debounce – The Empire Tadao Invert Mini board features an interrupt based debounce algorithm that effectively “scans” the trigger over 2 million times per second. It runs this completely independent of code execution on the microcontroller so your trigger pulls are always registered. The debounce setting is in increments of 1/2 milliseconds. Users should be aware that low debounce settings may cause the marker to read switch bounce as additional pulls, falsely generating shots or near full-automatic fire. The setting ranges from 1 to 50 and is defaulted at 10 (5 ms).
LED Indicator The multi-color LED that shines out the rear of the fore grip shows which mode of operation the marker is currently in:
Bolt forward dwell – The amount of time the solenoid is energized each time the marker is fired to make the bolt go forward. The default is 9 ms. The range is 2 to 20 ms. Too low of a dwell may lead to inconsistency or drop-off. Too high of a dwell can cause bad air efficiency.

Loader delay – Adds a slight delay after the eye has seen a ball and the bolt is cycled, causing the gun to fire. If not using force fed loaders, it may be necessary to increase this setting to prevent chopping. A setting of 1 means no loader delay, which is the fastest. The default is 5 and may be set from 1 to 25.
Slow Blinking Red
At startup this indicates an exhausted battery At startup this indicates a low battery At startup this indicates a good battery Ball in breech, ready to fire No ball in breech Eye malfunction, max rate of fire reduced to 12 bps; clean eyes or make sure the gun is fired with paint and air Eyes disabled, rate of fire limited to 20 balls per second in mode 1; otherwise capped at fire mode max rate of fire for fire modes 2 through 12
Power Operation Pressing and releasing the power button turns the marker on. The battery indicator will show the current power level of your battery with a flickering red, yellow, or green LED. After, it will show a solid or blinking blue. To turn off, press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds, until the LED turns off, then release. Every time the marker is turned on, the eyes are enabled. The marker can be turned off regardless of the state of the eyes. Eye Operation and Logic The eyes are enabled when the marker is first turned on. The eyes can be toggled by using the power button. Press and release the power button quickly and the LED will change colors to indicate the mode change. If used, the eye system cycles the marker as fast as possible. During each shot the eyes watch for the bolt to return, ending the current firing cycle and starting another as quickly as the pneumatics allow. If the eye…
