A couple of weeks ago my total shot counter on my EMag reset itself it was at around 45,000+ shots and it went back to 0. Does the counter reset after a certain number of shots? Did I maybe do something to reset it? Is this a sign of a problem coming? The gun shoots good like always and I,m up to 15,000+ shots.

It will reset if you use all of the juice out of the batt,or get the upgrade to 3.2,and i do believe if the positive terminal gets grounded. as far as i know no big deal w/ the reset or unforseen problems.I think there for, I am I think. am I? -
Its ok. Mine resets all the time and it works like a top. Lots/most of the emags have shot counters that reset. Don't worry about it.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment

a shot counter is a wast anyway

The EEPROM data disappears sometimes... particularly when power is really low.

mine reset at 50k and i think my battery was fine. o well

if you leave it on overnight or w/e it takes to completely drain the battery, the shot counter will reset itselfProud Member Of The AO Cesspool Since 08-24-2002Comment

What does EEPROM mean?Comment

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. Basically, it can remember stuff without power.Originally posted by AGDFlash

reset shot counter
Thanks that explains why the total shots sometimes gets lost. It kind of makes me wonder if everything could disappear from the memory of the board. That is also probably what makes flashing a board kind of touchy.Comment

Not quite I think. EEPROMs should stay programmed unless the reprogramming pin is powered or somesuch. Different from EPROMs that you erase by removing the sticker and placing them under a UV lamp.Originally posted by Miscue

You are probably right, but if the toal shots can be lost from the memory, whats to say other stuff couldn't be lost. I have never heard of that but it could probably happen.Comment

I don't know what you mean by "not quite." What I've said is exactly correct. An EEPROM can also be erased a byte at a time, versus having to do the whole thing. It is non-volatile memory, thus it can retain data w/o power.Originally posted by SlartyBartFast

Sure, other settings can be lost... and it resets to defaults when that happens.Originally posted by AGDFlash

I said 'not quite' because you said 'Basically, it can remember stuff without power'. Which, while ture, isn't really the defining capability of EEPROMs. All ROM chips retain their programming without power. It's RAM chips that may or may not retain information without power.Originally posted by Miscue

But it's been a while since I've spent too much time picking around at the chip level.Comment
