Hey all, just built and am now testing my first Egg Timer Quark. First time soldering in over 30 years, and never anything this tiny. I am trying to ground test the firing channels and nothing is going as planned. If I just boot and don't try to test I get the previous altitude (Three zeros beeped out in this case) and then after 15 seconds I get very quick beeping. I haven't been able to find any documentation that discusses these beeps.
Now if I run through the test procedure, I get endless double beeps after I reinstall the jumper to fire the channel.
Below are two videos, the first being the initial boot with no firing test and the fast beeps. The second being the double beeps when trying the firing test. I will email eggtimer, but figured I might get quicker help here.
EDIT:::: I figured it out. I had two pins on the drogue driver not making good contact. Even though I thought I inspected it closely with a jeweler's loupe after soldering, I clearly did not do so adequately.
