Problem with torro recoil

Post by Lo_Thar »

Hello. Did anyone before have problem like my? My torro recoil dont stop shooting. I dont even need to press shot button - it start shotting if i just "on" power in tank. I try it in another tank, what have also torro recoil and elmod, and with this mechanism probem is the same.

The problem is likely to be with one of the microswitches in the unit. The microswitch works like a contact breaker (as in old Car ignition systems), and if the gap between the contacts is too large, it may not close fully to break the circuit. :problem:

some time you need to reset the rcoil so where the barrel would go in hold that when you fire it should then whirr and reset see if that works

You think about this microswich on the left (yellow and red cable) what are connected to "-" on the main board and "-" in the recoil engine? No its ok - if i disconnected it engine still move, but slower.

Forgebearer - no- reset dont work :(

Check the wiring on the recoil motors negative terminal dont know anything about elmod board but the signal to fire when connected to taigen board goes to the negative terminal so you could have a permanent earth connected to it?

On your first post you said you tried this recoil unit on another board and it did the same. Try the other recoil unit on the board you using this recoil unit on before blaming the board
