Recall on 4.00 Beta

[Miscue]

Reports of full-auto problems have sprung up. I was unaware of these problems until the beta test. I believe it is similar to, and related with the FA issues we know about with 3.2... except in reverse... and 4.00 seems to pick this up. The magnetic field from the solenoid is messing with the HES sensor. I believe that solenoid wiring doesn't matter, it just determines which way it goes FA... trigger held or released.

I believe that every board is suspect to this problem... at random... some markers doing this more often than others.

Please discontinue use of 4.00 and have your boards reflashed to 3.2.

Miscue,
Is this a problem with the Selnoid being to large or HES to sensitive?

[Miscue]

I don't know... this is a hardware thing and more of an electrical engineering issue, and that's not my background. I believe AGD will be looking into this to further understand the problem.

<------- not a software dood,

but does the sensativity around the HES increase when the bps limit is increased?

Is there away to measure "noise" around the sensor?

Is it possible to shield the HES or there devices that are containmanted?

Sorry if you cant answer all the q's but this makes me kinda concerned..

[Miscue]

All I know right now is... a FA issue is present and it reverses itself when the wires are switched... and that's about it. I'm just a software guy, and will be leaving this up to AGD to figure out what the next step is.

gah, i guess this will push back a release date ;(

Was 4.0 actually Q1.0?

What was the difference between 4.0 and 3.2?

[ZAust]

so, will those of us with 4.0 be able to get a free flashing to 3.2, or will we have to pay fpr it? what happens if the gun goes full auto with 3.2 as well?

well the flashing is free, you pay 20 bucks for shipping

yeah i realized that after i posted.

i havent had any problems with 4.0, and ill stick with it until i do.

I haven't had any problems with mine either. But time will tell I guess.

However, with all these problems with the solenoid affecting the HES...couldn't we shroud the HES sensor with something that would block out the interference from the solenoid? Or is it that strong that no matter what we do, it will affect it either way?

[OfficerGoat]

I have a couple of ideas... I'm gonna play with it the next few days and see what we can find out

I haven't had any FA problems yet. Of course, I had slight FA issues before 4.0 and switched the solinoid wires around. Are the problems being reported by people who haven't switched their wires around before the upgrade?

i dont get that? Isnt a problem reversing itself a good thing? I have cancer, i take pill b, the cancer reverses this is good no? Can i get clarification on reverses itself?
