lister, is it accepting the programming in Airsoft mode and it still doesn't fire, or you can't get it to program at all ?

I'm pretty sure I've programmed it
Correctly ( 2 flashes )
But I'm obviously doing something wrong :(
It's probably obvious & I just can't see it for
Looking.
Any thoughts?

You did the re-wiring, right ? It wasn't clear on the website but I seem to recall that mine didn't work either until I did the re-wiring of splitting out the elevation motor with the airsoft motor.

ah crapola :wtf:
my tiger is a bit different to the one on the website
& i can't quite get my head around it :{
so if i've got this right, i need to put an extra wire from the elavation wire on the safty switch,
& put it where?
oh dear i just can't see it :'(

I have done this 3 times now and I am still confused about it but if you just look at the two colour coded before and after on the 8 pin connectors on the wiring, what you are trying to do is instead of taking the power from the elevation motor (PIN 4 from the left or the Yellow port on the diagram) to the saftey switch and then onto the Airsoft unit, you are now taking the constant power from the MG/Light etc which is PIN 6 from the left or the Green port on the diagram. That way you will have independent control of the elevation and power to the Airsoft.

So if you can isolate the power feed to the safty switch, either from the elevation motor or the PIN 4 from the 8 pin board, just move that wire to goto PIN 6 on the board instead.

hi michael,
i'm still having issues here.
i rewired it but when i fire the gun it just keeps going 8O
i then tried bypassing it all and just wiring the elavation & airsoft straight in & repeat of the above :S
any sugestions welcomed!
cheers

Hey lister, so before the re-wiring the BB was not functioning at all, and after the wiring as describe on the website it is firing all the time (i.e. won't stop firing) ? You did the programming already to Airsoft BB on the clark I think. (Power on the remote, and then flash twice). Hmmmm..... usually when I have a non-stop firing it is because the power going into it is flipped, but you check the wiring already. I have to open up mine to have a look-see now.

thanks,
when you say flipped, do you mean, i might have the wires round the wrong way?
