The first of the new
Ebisu Series USB boards, this one goes retro by supporting the classic
AKA Viking and Excalibur. While no longer manufactured, Vikings and
Excaliburs are still in widespread use due to AKA's top-notch quality
and engineering.
The Ebisu boards
represent a new direction for Tadao, offering full USB functionality
for firmware updates and settings modification, combined with an RGB
LED to show operating status and programming menu. This places the
Ebisu boards between the Musashi and Yakuza series, making them less
complex but future-proofing them with USB capabilities.
The Ebisu
Series USB boards offer enhanced capabilities since they are based on
the high-end Yakuza Series. A new, faster microcontroller runs at up
to 48 Mhz, and provides integrated USB 2.0 support with standard
off-the-shelf mini-B USB cables. The drivers are built into Windows,
making installation very easy. The asynchronous interrupt-based
trigger scan is monitored at up to 12 million times per second.
Additional adjustibility includes finer, more accurate rate of fire,
debounce, and dwell increments. 5 user customizable profiles are now
standard, and can be edited through the LED menu system or with the
Tengu USB interface on your computer. The rate of fire range has been
expanded to 5-30 balls per second to ensure compliance with any league
rule changes in the future.
