Well, I may have somehting here but i will need confirmation form some others. There is some sort of resistor in between the 5volts and the blue and green wire connections. whic to me says this would send voltage straigt to ground on either side of the gun. If I connect ground and voltage together the calibration mode shuts down and the cabunet plays normally. my question would be what kind of damage would this cause? The resistor says 102 on i and it is a tiny flat piece. I have one of these I can use. would this help? any info would be great. |

Her is the deal. the correction for hte calibration mode is this. if you provide a split second of voltage to the link between the green wire and ground it will turn off calibration mode. I just need to figure out a safe way to do this. |

Yikes. Good luck! |

perhaps you could put a momentary contact button somewhere (on the gun or on the cabinet somewhere) that will close a circuit providing the surge you need to turn off calibration mode. I guess you'd have to be careful. You wouldn't want someone to hold the button down and fry anything. How do turn signals work in cars? They blink on and off. Maybe you could use the same concept to turn the power on and then off quickly to shut off calibration mode. It seems to me that turn signals have something that expands and compresses inside that gives it the behavior it has. Hmmm...I don't know. I'm not a doctor. |

what i did was create a green wire to ground rj45 jumper. then I took a mini momentary switch and put it right below the rj45 connection and wired one end to power(red) and one to Green. by putting hte jumper in and pushing the button turns off calibration mode. I will add this to the tutorial I have been working on. |
