Advice on a LXRobotics Battleswitch

[Team Phantom]

Hey, realised we've never posted on here before so we should introduce ourselves! We've been busy building away for the past year or so on our machine Vortex, we were at Gloucester last year having a nightmare with our drive system and after a long winter we're getting into to putting the machine back together. It's a two man team between myself and George and we're hopefully getting there, this year we hope to cause some havoc on the live scene.

Within Vortex there's a Motenergy ME0708 that we've been putting off running for ages, but finally the time has come to get the thing working. We've got it wired up and tried getting the solenoids to click on and off the other day, but we seem to have hit a wall getting the Battleswitch to control our solenoids.

The way it's wired is the battery goes out to a fuse and the link, which returns into the Battleswitch power input. From the output side of one channel of the Battleswitch we go to the two low power terminals of the solenoid, and those should energise the coil in turn closing the large solenoid switch and powering up the motor (or as we were testing it, you should hear the solenoid click). The Battleswitch lights up, the main power LED comes on and we tested the input to confirm we were getting voltage across the terminals. The other two diagnostic LEDs just flash constantly however. We know from the website that these should tell us the switching status of the Battleswitch, but I can't find anywhere on the LX site that tells you the code to decipher the patterns of the two diagnostic LEDs. They both flash continuously much like a receiver does before it's bound to a transmitter, which would make me think the Battleswitch might not be configured correctly to switch on both/either channels from a receiver command.

At the moment we've only set up one solenoid to one channel in order to test out the switch but eventually the Battleswitch will need to turn on two solenoids simultaneously (using both channels) from a command on the controller. Right now we're planning to use the throttle being lifted from zero to max to activate the switch. I read on a post here saying that the initial configuration of these switches was to be off at a centered stick and activated at stick up/down so we tried this on the right stick but still got nothing.

Does anyone have any advice on this or know where to find the guide for working out what the two diagnostic LEDs are saying? I know there's code libraries listed on the LX page but I don't think they have what we're looking for.

Cheers,

Sean.
