3.2 MENU glitch -- AGD?

[rikkter]

well i made another thread as to get AGDs attention better. so, here it is.
first it only did it with the Total Shots, now, its every menu.

i tried pressing, and taking out the LED unit, checked to see if the board screw was down all the way, charged battery, took it off, etc, and nothings changed..

Try beating it with a hammer repeatedly... :confused:

If this doesnt work procede to call AGD tech support :D

[rikkter]

ok well, took the unit off again and blew into the housing unit for the LED, that seemed to fix it.
but it still doesn't explain the number glitch i was getting earlier in a previous thread.

Interesting. If you notice, the LED matrix has two sections. This is because it is actually two 4-character LEDs wired together... data is passed from the right LED to the left. However, one section is working, and the other is not. It is entirely possible that the software could be doing this if for some odd reason the LED registers are set incorrectly... this was the first problem I ran across when I was working on my display routines. But I doubt this is the case unless several others report the same problem... if so, then I'd call it an actual software glitch. Otherwise, it could be a faulty LED matrix or board. Well, that's my take on it... I could be wrong.

This is interesting. One of the emags I sent in for 3.2 was working fine but now only the shots per second reads out. I have not had a chance to tech the guy’s emag not until this weekend but I am curious to see if it is a similar problem.

[AGD]

I havent seen that problem before, if its fixed then that must have been the problem.

well, maybe just taking out the LED and putting it back in solved it. but i got the total shot counter glitch AGAIN, where it would read TS_2_141
taking out LED and blowing into the housing didn't solve it that time tho.

Send it to Tom :)

[rikkter]

why yes. send frame to someone to mill it to ule, send rail and rest of body to rogue so he can mill the rail. then have that someone send frame to rogue, then have rogue strip the gun down then send it to anno. then have them send it back to rogue, and have rogue send it to AGD, and have AGD send it to me.
that'd take about 2 months

its just the shot counter now tho, so i dont care about it. but its only the "0" that it wont show..

[FragTek]

That's a pretty viscous cycle bro :D

I have X with the 3.2,and i don't know if it is the same problem or not but i have a small problem with my total shot counter also. My shot counter will not disply a "0" in the thousands place but it does display everything else.

i was tinkering around with my x mag with 3.2 and i found out if the HES is activated at the time of turning on the marker it will give you a funny menu. basic terms dont hold your trigger while turning on your marker. it could also be that your trigger is set to soft and everytime you turn it on you get the crappy menu. just my $.02

that would jsut give you scrambled menus, not number missing.
if you hold trigger and hit the button 5 times, it looks japanese for a second(cause it stays displayed longer than other times)

edit:
well, after what you said i figured i'd see if it was the cause of the numbers not showing, instead of the alien language like i said.
well, you're right! if i hold trigger, and turn on gun, none of the '2nd LED matrix' shows up, only the first half

[BajaBoy]

mine will glitch when i hold the trigger and turn it on

[crankydan]

My EMAG is the same way, after having the 3.2 upgrade the 0 doesnt work in the thousand field for total shots. Not to mention I never got my jumper back either.

[Evil1]

Does the gun work during these glitches?

[whopper72]

yes my gun still works great... just wanted to know if that would cause any other problems

[BradPalooza]

Mine also had the 0 missing in the thousand field. After shooting enough, the 0 turns into a 1 and it starts displaying again.

I'd say it's a bug in the software.

if you have 3.2, try to hold the trigger down and turn on gun, then let go of trigger and scroll through the menus. see if it does the same thing in the pictures i posted.
