GATE MOSFET ASTER V2 - ADVANCED SET - REAR WIRED

ASTER V2 is a younger brother of well-known TITAN V2. This world's first 4th generation AEG Control System is destined for most of AEGs with gearbox V2 on the market (including stock, low- and mid-tuned) and even for high-tuned guns (in case of EXPERT firmware). It was designed to achieve maximum reliability at attractive price and hence it has extremely profitable price-performance ratio.

ASTER is not just another drop-in mosfet. It is a part of GATE ecosystem that turns your AEG into an advanced training weapon.

Transform your AEG by replacing trigger contacts with computerized controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including proximity trigger sensor which offers even 250 sensitivity settings. Gain unique tactical advantage thanks to extremely fast trigger response and lots of other useful functions. ASTER's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor and the controller, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors, makes ASTER the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure ASTER - simply via trigger or through USB-Link / Blu-Link* and our advanced GCS app. To enjoy full potential of ASTER, you can upgrade its firmware to ADVANCED or EXPERT.

*Blu-Link is future GATE Bluetooth® adapter

Optical sensors

ASTER has optical sensors for detecting gear cam, trigger and selector position. With the GCS app, you can easly calibrate, test and adjust these sensors.

Trigger sensitivity adjustment

The trigger sensor offers you even 250 possible sensitivity settings. You do not have to disassemble your AEG. Just use GCS app to adjust the trigger to your preferences and level of skills. You can even activate 2-stage trigger and set two different trigger sensitivities. Pulling the trigger slightly produces Semi or Burst fire and pulling the trigger further produces Burst, Burst/Auto or Auto fire.

The 1.5 gen. proximity trigger sensor offers the following sensitivity ranges, depending on trigger construction:

In total: 160–250 levels

In the first millimeter of trigger movement: 3–15 levels

Please note that trigger sensitivity and selector switching point cannot be set while programming via trigger
