Sorry about the extremely poor quality but after I realized I needed more light, the battery went dead. It quits doin it at 45 seconds (just as I go VOILA with my hand signal) and workin ok now. Still haven't operated yet because I was tryin to get a better video first. Tired of this, I'm goin in
Yeah everything looked clean and well soldered. The only thing was the silicone ran into the board. When I take it apart again I might try to get that out. It was used to firmly hold the guts inside and could only cause a problem if a component on the board is heatin up because of an insulation effect. The switches worked great with no sticking when I had it apart. Yes, Lynn there was a scorpion but I don't think it was from the istick. Could have been though. I've never seen any since I've lived here for 12 years. I wouldn't worry, they can't get out unless you take the caps off.
I don't intend to take the caps off! They can die in there! LolYeah everything looked clean and well soldered. The only thing was the silicone ran into the board.

The mother scorpion has a slit that opens in her back and the babies crawl out. I only saw one and it was probably no more than 3 or 4 days old like these. I'd better check those "shipping" boxes I got from the dumpster where the cardboard piece from the video came.................
I'm not (usually) squeamish about bugs, the dang - this one is just too much.
I hear they are good eats. Haven't tried them yet though...O...M...G!!!!!!!!!!!! I need eye bleach for this one. I'll take my NC critters any day. Can I just say EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW?!?!?!?!
Every time I think I've fixed it, starts actin up again.
Earhquake at the end..
Lost another istick. My scorpions must have died
I'm gonna take it apart once more and try a couple of things before I call it bad firmware like my 50 turned out to be. The only thing I can say at this point is I did get it to turn on and work again. That's a successful operation according to surgeons. Operation was a success, but the patient died...It has to have an atty on it apparently. It will do it with a completely cold battery so I don't think heat is a factor. Just prior to the video it only fired for about 5 seconds before I got the ST Mini off. By the time I set up the camera it had cooled, and you see what happened when I screwed the dripper down. It's not heat, juice, loose connection, bad solder, bad switch, bad 510 connector, bad atty, the watts, the ohms, or holdin my mouth the wrong way.
