THump DM4/5/C Board Instructions

Features

• The signature board of Baltimore Trauma’s Tyler Humphrey

• Fully functional in the Dye DM4, DM5, and DMC

• Based on the Musashi 7 software

• New model microcontroller runs at 8 Mhz, the fastest DM4/5/C aftermarket

solution available

• Enhanced power switching hardware for the solenoid is capable of pushing

10 amps, more than 3 times the capability of the stock board

• Includes twelve (12) fire modes: uncapped semi-auto, capped semi-auto, PSP

auto-response, PSP mild ramping, PSP max ramping, PSP z-burst, NXL full-

automatic, auto-response, mild ramping, max ramping, z-burst, and full-

automatic

• Asynchronously monitors the trigger switch using an interrupt based scan at

2 million times per second, faster than any other aftermarket board or chip

for the DM4/5/C

• Gangster 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,

gangster mode, and LED colors

• 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

• Three eye modes: delayed, forced with force shot, and test mode with rate of

fire indicator

• Fully adjustable color schemes

• Low battery indicator hardware and software shows battery level each time

the marker is turned on

• BMR (bad membrane recognition) allows the user to keep playing when the

eye button fails on the membrane pad

Installation

Removal and installation of the board on a DMC, DM5, or DM4 must be carefully done

to ensure the electronics are not damaged. Begin by removing the grips from the

marker. This will expose the entire circuit board. Remove the two mounting screws, eye

harness, power/trigger switch harness, membrane socket, and solenoid harness. Remove

the stock board. Place the THump DM4/5/C board in the grip frame and replace the two

mounting screws. Plug in all the connections. If the marker will not turn on, it may be

due to a low battery, broken membrane or broken battery harness.

LED Indicator

The multi-color LED that shines out the left side of the grip panels shows which mode

of operation the marker is currently in. The default color scheme is:

Rapid Blinking Red At startup this indicates an exhausted battery

Rapid Blinking Yellow At startup this indicates a low battery

Rapid Blinking Green At start this indicates a good battery

Solid Blue Ball in breech, ready to fire

Slow Blinking Blue No ball in breech

Slow Blinking Yellow Eye malfunction, max rate of fire reduced to 12.5 bps; clean

eyes or make sure the gun is fired with paint and air

Slow Blinking Red 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 – 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 LED (unless changed from the

default). To turn off, press and hold the power button 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. See “Battery Indicator” section for

additional details.

Eye Operation and Logic

The eyes are enabled when the marker is first turned on. The eyes can be toggled by

using the eye button. Press and hold the eye button for 1 second 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 system is continually blocked (e.g. putting

your finger in front of the eyes) and is unable to see the bolt return after every shot, the

max rate of fire will be reduced to about 12 balls per second to prevent further chopping,

and the LED will blink the eye malfunction color (yellow by default). The only way to

show the true speed of the THump board is to fire the marker with paint and air. When

the eyes are off, the rate of fire is limited to 20 balls per second unless in fire mode 2-12,

in which case the rate of fire is selected by the user.

To determine if the eyes are working correctly, insert an object into the breech. Check to

see if the LED changes from blinking blue to solid blue and then back to blinking blue

(if using default colors) once the object is removed.

Battery Indicator

Battery indicator software and hardware are standard on the THump DM4/5/C board.

When the marker is turned on, the LED will briefly flicker red, yellow, or green to

indicate the status of your battery. If it flickers red, the battery is exhausted and should

be changed as soon as possible. If it flickers yellow, the battery may last for another case

of paint, but it is close to failing.

Programming

The tournament lock must be disabled in order to change settings on the board. The push

button switch on the lower right side of the board toggles the tournament lock. While

the marker is turned off, push and hold the lock button. The LED will flash red or green

to indicate the status of the lock. Red means the lock is on, while green means the lock

is off. While the lock and the marker are off, pull and hold the trigger, then push the

power button. The marker will boot into programming mode, showing a rainbow

sequence before stopping at solid green.

Pulling and releasing the trigger quickly will toggle between the different programming

modes:

Green Debounce

Purple Dwell

Yellow Loader delay

Blue AMB (anti-mechanical bounce)

Red ABS dwell

White Fire mode

Teal Fire mode max rate of fire

Flickering Green Eye mode

Flickering Purple CPF (cycle percentage filter)

Flickering Yellow Ramp start

Flickering Blue Gangster mode

Flickering Red Eye enabled color

Flickering White Eye disabled color

Flickering Teal Eye malfunction color

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.

Setting 3 is the PSP auto-response fire mode that works as follows: Programming Example If you want to set the dwell to 20, you should: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Make sure the marker is powered off and the tournament lock is disabled. Pull the trigger and push the power button to turn on the marker. The LED shows a rainbow sequence then stops on solid green. This is the debounce mode. Quickly pull and release the trigger 1 time to switch to the dwell mode. The LED will show purple.
PAGE 3
Eye Mode – Three eye modes are available: 1. Delayed – If the eye system does not detect a ball in the breech for ½ second, the marker automatically fires. This is useful for sound activated loaders because it ensures that a shot is fired, even without paint, so the loader will continue to feed. 2. Forced with force shot – The marker only fires if paint is seen in the breech or the user pulls and holds the trigger for ½ second, thereby initiating a force shot.
