Gate ASTER™ MOSFET - What does it do?

Gate ASTER™ MOSFET - What does it do?

The GATE ASTER™

The GATE ASTER™ V2 is the younger brother of the well-known TITAN™ V2. As the world's first 4th generation AEG Control System, the ASTER™ is designed for most AEGs with a V2 gearbox on the market, including stock, low- and mid-tuned AEGs and even for high-tuned guns when using the EXPERT firmware. The GATE ASTER™ was designed to achieve maximum reliability at an attractive price as an alternative to the more complex and expensive TITAN™ MOSFET. 

Transform your AEG by replacing the trigger contacts with a computerized controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including a proximity trigger sensor which offers even 250 sensitivity settings. The GATE ASTER™ offers a unique opportunity to gain a tactical advantage thanks to an extremely fast trigger response and lots of other useful functions. The ASTER even has its own specific Gate CNC trigger designed to interact with its optical sensors, known as the Quantum. 

The ASTER's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor, and the controller itself, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors, makes the ASTER™ the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure the ASTER™ – simply via the trigger or through USB-Link / Blu-Link* and GATE's GCS (GATE Control Station) App. To enjoy the full potential of the ASTER™, you can upgrade its firmware to ADVANCED or EXPERT.

What does the ASTER™ MOSFET do?

  • Protection against battery reverse polarity
  • Increased rate of fire and trigger response due to improved electrical efficiency
  • Proximity trigger sensor which offers 250 possible sensitivity settings!
  • Option to configure its main settings simply via the trigger or completely through the GATE Control Station App for Android, Windows and macOS (also for iOS with GATE Blu-Link Bluetooth® dongle)
  • Built-in RGB led provides visual cues to make programming easier
  • Removing the safety lever is not required
  • No modification of the gearbox shell needed, even in the case of ICS and KRYTAC (ASTER Revision 1 requires the bolt catch lever to be removed when used with a KRYTAC Gearbox. Newer ASTER revisions are fully compatible.)
  • The optical gear cam sensor supports all types of gears: Infinite Torque-up, DSG, SSG, 19-tooth, and standard
  • Binary trigger/Burst mode option as a basic function
  • Compatible with the GATE Quantum™ CNC Trigger (firmware version 3.1-03 or later) - 470 trigger sensitivity settings
  • Premium level functionality at a fair price – Great price-performance ratio

So, now you know a bit more about the Gate ASTER™ and how it can change the game for more advanced skirmishers looking for a new experience. If you want to read a bit more of the nitty gritty, you can find more info on Gate's ASTER™ homepage!
