Possible Resolution to the 3.2 Problem.

[raehl]

It's not the customers.

What we really need are leagues that aren't dependent on industry money to function. At that point the people who are paying the bills will force some sanity back into the equation.

BTW, is that ASTM standard within easy reach (like on a website) somewhere? I'd like to read the gory details.

I don't know if anyone will see this WAY back here but,

Sorry Tom,looks like Punisher had it all figured out a loooong time ago.(although inadvertently)

Stumble upon this by accident......

rant rant rant, e-mag can munch me. rt with a solenoid, boohoo tommy boy. one innovation of the e-mag would have to be the trigger. something about the trigger bothered me. let's say this solenoid is turned on.

hmmm...solenoids have magnetic fields, now lets somehow have the flux in the same direction the hall effect sensor is oriented. doh! gun goes crazy!!!!!!

and the earth's magnetic field is not static. doh! gun goes crazy!!!! dunno how likely this stuff would be, but murphy's law don't care. i'd rather take an rt and strap on a centerflag frame.

That's pretty amazing if you ask me.

Well I would give it to him if it wasnt for the comment about the earths magnetic field. Looks to me like he was shooting in the dark. If he was really smart he could have come to me and I would have paid him for the answer to the problem.

No I agree,it was a wild assumption,I just thought it was funny in light of current findings.

I'm not to crazy about the whole "article" anyway.

uh from the looks of it punisher was responding to someone else's rant. above the line anonymous dork. below the line is punisher. at least that's how i read it...

Me too.

I'd like to strangle mr. anonymous that was ranting above the line... what a stink nugget!

Flipped wires on SkyBoy's EMag, works peachy now.

so you got your harness working? it's too bad that it wasn't working while i was there

Yeah, worked fine at home.

I've got 3.2 on my Magma and it's tttttiiiiggggghhhhhtttt!!!!

Yes..I have to go pickup a USB Compact Flash adapter...my digital camera's cable disappeared in Vegas without me noticing..

If you have AGD 1.37 or some other software and it doesn't bounce now, but you want to make sure it won't bounce when you get 3.2 software, you can conduct the following test.

Find a compass. It can be a compass out of a cracker jack box, it really doesn't matter.

Turn on the gun and fire it a few times (this builds residual magnetism in the solenoid). Put the compass on the top of the solenoid and hold it there. The NORTH pull should be up towards the HES. Take the compass off the solenoid, shake it around a bit to move the needle around a bit and put it back on the solenoid. You should see it quickly react and show you the poles of the solenoid.

If the SOUTH pole is facing up, you're going to have bounce issues.

So do AGD techs carry compasses in their tool boxes now?
