The Viking - Viking360's New Macro Controller
« on: September 05, 2010, 08:56:38 AM »

The Viking is available from 1st October 2010

Viking360 are due to release their new macro contorller soon, dubbed 'The Viking'. A quick look at some of the controller's features make it stand out from the crowd.

Quote
    * Powered by a real-time operating system operating on a 16 MHz CPU
    * Macros are stored on 1 megabyte of on-board FLASH memory
    * Tri-color “RGB” LED circuit board replaces the Microsoft green LED ring
    * Six channels of digital-to-analog conversion for joystick and trigger control
    * Six New Switches for toggling, using, and switching macros (Two front, Four Back)
    * Compatability with Windows PCs - Macro Editing and More!

Read on for a more in-depth look at the controller.



Macros

The Viking is able to record moves and button presses from the controller, and play them back at any time. In addition to this, the macros can also be uploaded to any Windows PC to be edited and shared on Viking360's online Macro Library.


Multilight

Assign One of Sixteen Colours to the controller's Ring - not just for aesthetics, but also to help navigate pages of macros (for different games). The Mulitlight Technology also allows for LED ring macros to be implemented into your other macros.

Tacticle Switches

The Six tactile switches have four main uses:

     * Macro Playback
     * Macro Recording
     * Macro Enable/Disable
     * Button Reassignment

You can run "bootcamp" or something similar to use the apps. Also you must have a windows computer in your house or at a mates if it comes down to it.
