bnitch Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have been having problems using remote fire switch on multiple boards. I have removed the inside of on board switches and used the 2 upper fire switch holes to go to Mitech fire switch using 24awg silicone wire. But every oard I hook up this way acts like it is firing by itself.Do I need to put 100 ohm resister on the pads under switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnitch Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is another board I have tried to hookup an off board switch to and it autofired till the screen froze or more like the board locked up. Could it be latest firmware? It also does the same thing with just the usb connected and no battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Make very sure there isn't a single strand of wire from one connector port touching the other wire or port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnitch Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think it was the flux on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
