I'm still having some problems with my hyperframe that I have narrowed down to the frame itself. So I dug out the old multimeter to do some testing.
I tested:
the battery: ~6.8v
the plug for the switch: 4.7v
** solenoid when firing: I got from .01v - .07v, but it was usually around .02v, .03v
The problem I'm having is that it had sat for a while, so I went to dry fire it. I was getting a lot of chuffing, so I ran some oil through it and it slowly disappeared. Next I went to put some paint through it and chrono and all the sudden it decides to not shoot everytime I pulled the trigger. Like I'd pull it 5 times, and maybe 1 would register. I had some other guys around me test it to make sure my fingers weren't broke. The board's LCD was displaying FIrE, so I know it's not the switch. My only guess is that it is the solenoid. So if somebody can check their voltages across the solenoid when it fires, if they are the same then I can rule out the board, which means it must be a faulty solenoid.
