Yeah I admit I was a bit lazy to read through as the office nets really crappy. I have friends using the Sigelei and some using the new Fuchai 213. Do far no firing issues. But havent seen anyone use the TC on it. Wanted to test mine but might do something wrong and screw. Oh and thanks for the welcome.
, I would have just asked too! The misfiring isn't a defect like some electrical gremlin. Though it can be something you either don't ever see or you see it all the time. The misfire happens when you press the firing button at the exact moment the device heads into sleep mode, before or after it is fine, but pressing it at that exact moment will cause the device to only wake up and not fire. I think it was calculated at 13 seconds after the last button press ended. This is something intrinsic in how this board works, so even if updatable it wouldn't go away and it means if it's a deal breaker all devices have this issue.Yeah I admit I was a bit lazy to read through as the office nets really crappy.

The misfiring isn't a defect; it's a feature
Hi OlderNDirtAt 64 pages
I liked the Sig 213 in power mode enough, I picked up the Fuchai 213 just to have one in a different color. I do very, very little TC and have a Lavabox DNA200 for when the urge arises, so I am fine just using the 213's in power mode. If you want to try TC, take some time and read through some of this thread or ask. I am sure those more knowledgeable will be happy to explain the adjustments and pitfalls.
My point about updates is that more than likely it an I/O issue. The device can't be in middle of this process and wake up at the same time. That would be really difficult to impossible to iron out from a firmware aspect. But either way it's all hypothetical because these devices are never getting an update.The misfiring isn't a defect; it's a feature
After 13 seconds of idleness the device does not enter into sleep mode, its display screen simply turns off. Pressing the fire button at this precise moment does not fire the device, does not "wake up" the device, and does not turn on the display screen. In other words, the button press was not registered. Henceforth, it was dubbed a misfire. Subsequent button press(es) will be registered and the mod will function as usual.
The display screen timeout value would not be hardwired into the board, it would be a value assigned in its software. If firmware upgrade was available it could have, at the very least, offered possibilities of changing this value to another number.
The cause for the device not registering the button press could either be due to the board itself or its software, or a combination of both. It would be a difficult task for the typical end user to solve. However, it would not be the most difficult task to solve at the manufactoring and design stage.
Whilst this particular issue could be classed as a con, it remains inferior to the device's other cons. Whilst the device does have its list of cons, it should not imply it does not have a list of pros.

You are right there, it is an I/O issue as the board is missing the required circuitry. And I suppose you may be right that ANY device can not be interrupted if it is in the state of following an important program, such as turning off its display screen. It, however, can be tweaked to minimise the amount of time required to perform this procedure, although in this regard it may not yield a better result as the device's board and software may already have been tweaked in the best way possible. A lot of these functions, if not all, rests on the speed and quality of the processor. Lastly, it is not all hypothetical as this is not the first piece of technology to be ever produced, and in my opinion this device's board does not implement brand new technology per se. And if we look at the Yihi and DNA devices we do not hear people complaining about this particular issue; however, their boards obviously utilise more expensive components. Yet we still do hear people complaining about other things and so even these devices have their own list of cons as well.
Thanks for sharing, and I'm sorry to hear your experience. I hope the replacement will fair better.
