GATE ASTER II BLUETOOTH EXPERT FOR V3 GB - AEG/HPA

The newly released ASTER II Bluetooth is a total game changer for V3 gearbox owners bringing a breath of fresh air and brand new capabilities to all V3 gearbox replicas both for AEG and dual solenoid HPA.

With Bluetooth 5.2 technology, you have direct access to settings, AEG telemetry, and extended features with the GCS mobile device and smartwatch app.

ASTER II Bluetooth is the first such versatile unit for V3 gearboxes – compatible with both AEG and HPA.

The AEG version works with both brush motors and also with brushless motors, even at 11.1 V.

HPA enthusiasts, on the other hand, can connect both single solenoid valve and dual solenoid HPA engines.

Adjustable trigger sensitivity, automatic Pre-cocking, Active Brake with adaptive mode and reliable optical sensors create an ideal system.

The goal of creating ASTER II Bluetooth® for GB V3 was to build a versatile ETU, incorporating the latest GATE technology at a reasonable price.

Connect your ASTER II Bluetooth with the GCS App and get total control of your AEG.

Control your airsoft replica from your iOS, Android, macOS or Windows device using a built-in Bluetooth.

You no longer need dongles such as USB-Link or Blu-Link.

Get real-time data from your smartwatch (with Wear OS or watchOS) to reinforce your tactical decisions and get the advantage necessary to win and even use your smartwatch as remote trigger.

What distinguishes ASTER II Bluetooth for V3 from the competition?

Extraordinary quality-to-price ratio:

- GCS app for iOS, Android, macOS or Windows

- GCS app for your smartwatch (Wear OS or watchOS) – real-time data like BB counters & remote trigger!

- Compatibility both with AEG and both single and dual solenoid HPA engines; for dual solenoid engines use the dedicated soldering pads

- Configurable trigger reset (hysteresis)

- Top-notch automatic pre-cocking

- Free internet firmware updates

- ASTER II Bluetooth is a part of the GATE Ecosystem

- Lowest in the market current consumption – deep sleep mode with only 130 uA current consumption prevents battery discharge

- Built-in voltage boost converter means trouble-free operation with weaker batteries and increases the switching efficiency

- 3.75 V ready – ASTER II Bluetooth® operates at very low voltage (even 1.2 V during the shot), which is important in high-tuned AEGs, where the voltage underload drops significantly

- Sensor supporting Infinite Torque-up, DSG, SSG, 19-tooth, and standard gears

- The possibility of using a mechanical trigger lock

- Extended compatibility with brushless motors – works perfect with brushless motors even with 11.1 V batteries
