E-Mag trigger problem .... maybe?

OK Maybe the addtional one is Anti-Chop Sensor? To be ready for it later?

It seems like everytime I touch this thing something else happens. As suggested, I check the magnet at the top which pulls the trigger forward. It does not appear lose or to move when pulling the trigger. I then pulled out my E-Mag video and watched how to adjust the center magnet and verify the HES sensor is working. I put the battery pack on, let the firmware boot, and waited for the battery indicator light to come on and off a few times to verify the battery is OK. Pulled the trigger back to see if the display would flash (as per the video) and nothing happens. After pulling the trigger, the battery indicator light would not blink again.

Assuming this to be because of a low battery charge I recharged the battery overnight using a Radio Shack 12V 1500mh wall charger. Set everything up again and same thing. Pressed the switches on the back of the trigger to cycle through the different settings and I get garbage on the display. Anyone got any ideas? Is this a bad electronics board?

If I put the battery saver plug back in the battery, pull it and let the firmware boot the battery indicator will blink but as soon as I pull the trigger it stops blinking and won't come back on. For whatever reason I can't do this test. If you've got any ideas let me know. I'm trying to get this thing setup for a tourney this weekend.

The video is wrong on the trigger pull-light thing. It was like that on the first version of software but it does not light up on the later version 1.37 with each trigger pull and I bet on your version either. It all changed after the video was made. Found that out the hard way too. Don't be fooled by all the facts!

Cphilip,

Thanks for the headsup on that. It makes me feel a little better. I'll be putting air in the tank tomorrow and taking my SFL out for a backyard spin to make sure it's working. I think it's time for some updated videos.
