Halo B question

[Lovetone]

6 x 1.5 volt AA battery = 9 volts
4 x 1.5 volt AA battery = 6 volts

less power to motor = slower

i think

Hmm,

The pot on the board doesnt control the Torque, well not directly.

It adjusts the reference voltage that the board compares the eyes to, if the reference voltage is lower, then the processor interprets the eyes as being 'high' more often, so it spins the motor less.

It is there because of tolerances in the eyes, so with a particular set of eyes the pot will do nothing, with another set the pot will make a big difference.

I second that!!!-had probs with my Halo....seemed as if the eyes were working back to front?(it fed when blocked,and stopped with no blockage....then went on/off in quick succession every now and again)....then by mistake I found that if I moved one of the eyes slightly-it worked(but stopped everytime i offered the motor assembley to the shell)...I got over the problem by turning the so called 'pot' clockwise....yahoo!..now all is well!

Still having problems think its the eyes, as it sometimes works sometimes doesnt,
gonna have a go at cleaning them out

'cause when it's feeding & I stop firing, the drivecone starts to pulse on the paint & it shatters the paint in the feedneck

*tried turning down the pot,
*tried messing with the batteries eg: new batteries, only 4 batteries, 5 new & 1 fake battery incase it was just too much voltage going to it. didn't work
*stretched the detent springs

only thing i havent done is grease the belt (would WDP's LoveJuice be alright, its all ive got), or change the eyes (I cleaned them recently)

Im fed up of the bloody thing i just want a reloader now
