I think Frank is onto something here. Once I understood the active-low issue <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rctankcombat/hu2G5C2fVzo/zOoDQ_Q1hlwJ> I tried holding my "fire" button down (to put the switch into the active-high state) and manually pulling the trigger.
I also tried holding down the "fire" button and releasing it briefly, assuming the reverse logic would work. No luck. The R/C switch is running off the 6 V R/C receiver power. The marker has a 9 V battery for its supply. The pull-up in the marker logic may be too much for the digital signal to overcome. Interfacing systems with different signal levels is always a challenge. On Saturday, October 11, 2014 8:08:40 PM UTC-4, Frank Pittelli wrote: > > Psst.
