I sent ape an email about a tm7 board and they reply back saying they are going to have the proto type this week and is based on the gen4led of the mini. And guess what no more 3 pulls for full auto and burst. They also said they should be out in January .

here is the email i sent.
Yes, you will get true full-auto and burst, reactive mode, etc...  It's our Gen4 LED implementation for the mini.  You can download the Gen4 manual to get an idea of capability.

I'm assuming that the TM-15 will use the same board?

[LT.DAN]

I was thinking about a virtue OLED board from a mini inside of a tm7. Good to hear APE is working on it

Not sure where you'd display the OLED display though .... you'd actually need a modified shell for it to have a chance of working.  I think it'll end up being just a regular board but that's fine with me.

My Tm15 board says tm7 on it so yes for sure it will fit in both.

No dice on the mini board in a tm. The mini board is two pieces.

[TheEnglishGuy]

Agreed.  I expect what they meant is the programming is based on the Rampage board for the mini:

It would definitely have to be a custom board and that's why they're making prototype's.

Does this mean the selector switch wil not be used anymore and the power button will be used for programming and mode selection (like the BT rampage board)?

[sameagol26]

Hmmm, ya never know.... Either way, this is good news!

[mataleao]

I doubt that Ape would release this board without accommodating the selector switch. They have been consistent with other makes that use them. I put one on my son's A5 HE Egrip w/ selector switch and it not only makes use of the selector switch, but optimizes it. I love Ape's products even more than Virtue's.

[Tenit]

Good news, I hope it actually happens.  They got back to me last spring saying they were working on a prototype and hoped to release it this past summer.

[bombir6]

ok latest news from ape for the tm7 rampage board here is an email cut and paste.

This is an enquiry e-mail via http://www.goapeonline.com from:
hi. i asked about a tm7 board last month and ape reply that there was a board that they were inthe process of putting toghter based on the invert mini board. my question is will this board up the balls speed as the tm7 shoots 20 bps. and if so what is the maximum bps that this board will shoot. i am trying to buy a loader that will keep up with this board thats coming out . thansk for your help.
mario.
p.s any time frame for when the board will be for sale.

and here is there answer : I hope to have the board done this weekend... Everything is working, I just have to finish the firing mode and selector switch operation.
The board is our standard Gen4 LED, so you can download the user manual from our site.... the board is capable of 5 to 35 BPS, but I honestly do not know what the max cycle rate of a TM marker would be... perhaps 25+ when optimally tuned up and broken in.
Hopeful to have it released next month.

Whoop!  Best news I've had since I broke my air transfer tube last night (long story).  Guess I'd better put some money aside for Feb/March :-)

English

[bvdave]

anyone hear any more news about the ape board that was supposed to be out in Jan?

[TheEnglishGuy]

I emailed them a few weeks back and never got a reply.  Thought the boards were supposed to be out in Feb??  Glad I haven't been holding my breath ... again.

[Evilbob]

Just had the board replaced on mine as tired of waiting for APE so I could fix up my '7 :-(

Any update? I can't see anything on their website!

[Tenit]

As soon as I saw they changed their front page and it didn't involve the TM series boards I lost any hope they had anything imminent happening.
