Gday folks
By any chance have any of you successfully fitted a MATO barrel smoke system to an H/L 7.1 board??
I have one but for the life of me cannot get it to work.
There is no diagram showing how it needs to go nor are there sufficient bits in the kit I believe.
Any assistance greatly appreciated

I have exactly the same problem, except I'm trying to use a Taigen smoker unit with a Clark TK50
my issue is "i think" that i don't have enough power going to the unit from my board. I'm not so sure on HL TK boards unfortunately

Still no joy on this.
The Mato system which is all thats available down here didnt come with a flash bulb & cable.
It does however need to use one side of the V7.1 board LED1 station to power up the pump so I cant use that to run a flash from.
The Mato set up has a small sub board but noting is marked and I cannot find anything online about if any of the ports have a flash function.
If anyone has any ideas I will happily try them
Cheers
