| Aimtrak solenoid clicks soon as power is applied |

Hey everyone - I'm struggling with a bizarre issue. As soon as 36v is applied to the gun the solenoid clicks closed and will try to stay there. At first I thought the Mosfet was to blame - it seemed to measure bad. I replaced it but the symptoms persist. I plug it in (power only, not usb) and instantly the solenoid closes on. Any ideas? This circuit is not especially complicated. I dont understand what is activating the fet. Does the USB board need to be attached? Maybe I need a pulldown or something? I thought that is what the resistor on that board was doing. |

I had this problem twice, Originally thought the polarity was wrong but after confirming that was ok it left me and Andy stumped. Afraid I never fixed it and now just play without the recoil but if you ever find a solution please let me know!! |

I have two guns now that both suddenly exhibit the behavior. I’m playing without recoil now as well. |

Return them. |

Mike, you are a troll sometimes. |
