The TeleMega must be horizontal (not in pad mode) and you need to connect in 
idle mode with the correct call sign. You know your connected when the Age 
value is something small, eg a few seconds. Then the Idle Mode Fire Igniters 
buttons will become available.

You got your smartphone via TeleBT to fire e-matches?   I have tried that put 
the pick appears to be grayed out.  Any suggestions?

Thank you for that. I knew that was the case but because this was the config 
set in the previously flown version I thought there was some other thinking.  

 

I used the TeleBT and my smarthphone to fire the e-matches for ground testing 
today. That is a very nice feature.  

Thanks for all the help Keith. What a great product.

Gary

You've got it configured to fire Channel A correctly (6 seconds after
apogee), but Channel B is configured to fire just 2 seconds after
apogee. If you want that to fire 8 seconds after apogee, you would want
to set the delay to 8 instead of 2.

The channels are entirely independent; it doesn't sequence through them,
you can use them in any order.
