Proteus Upgrade Board for BFS

Protues is a solution to add advanced features to BFS guns using V1.x mainboards. It allows for a low cost method of access to our Mainboard's advanced features.

It supports all features that the Mainboard has, with the exception of using the standard BFS LED display instead of the LCD display:

  • Realistic weapon modelling with selectable weapon library, variable damage, up to 700 rounds per minute fire rate, selectable dual weapon configurations
  • Full individual scoring for up to 96 players. Score sheets can be printed from our FragScore software package. Or, if you prefer, rankings can be viewed on our Master Controller. Or, if scoring is not suitable for the game or your customers, don't use it (the choice is up to you.)
  • Support for our Medic/Ammo/Respawn/Engineer's Repair boxes
  • Full remote configuration and game control, including support for timed games, variable start delays, variable respawn time via our Odin Master Controller
  • Customer upgradable firmware, available for download for free from our site
  • Sensor failure detection,
  • Near miss detection with sound effect
  • Membership button support
  • Vastly enhanced cheat protection over stock system, including internal logging of all activities (power off, respawn, heal etc)
  • Plus many other standard FragTag software features
  • Dual mounting options, either above the board, or remotely mounted. Two lengths of connection cable are available, Standard or Long. Standard is suitable for mounting about the board, or where space does not permit, the Long option allows the board to be mounted remotely.
