Lux, I too had major trouble when I got my SWGG Spy XPG. I just wasn't quite as vocal about it as you are.
Once you get the hang of it, you or anyone who owns a spy will be programming all six levels in about 2 minutes on the fly. Changing banks depending on the situation, and checking voltage, etc. I feel your pain.
So yes, when programming the levels, I count it out loud rotating the knob from P1> 1mA, 10ma, 100ma (Then rock back one position, then forth a position), 200ma (Then rock back one position, then forth a position), 300ma (Then rock back one position, then forth a position), 400ma (Then rock back one position, then forth a position), 500ma, then back to P0, that level is set to 500mA.
I tried to be as respectfully constructive in my comments as I can be, and as is often the case, if I failed to say it the way I meant it, added an apology to Dave in advance. :wave:
I figured he has spent an unbelievable amount of time getting these Spy lights so perfected and improved, that making the guide so people know how to use and fully appreciate them is an essential part of his product. Even videos would work if they were correlated to the actual model.
PSM, so your technique sounds like another variation from what Frank described, rather than his "rocking back" all the way to P1, you just rock back a single position, like in your example of adding up to 500mA you went from P4 to P3 to P4 to P3 until you hit P4 for the 5th time, then back to P0.
If you don't mind, could you please describe how you would set P3 to 224mA, as I'm not sure how you go all the way down to single digits.
I'm especially not sure how you set more than one switch position during a single PU4 episode.
Another question I had is if you completely screw up one position, but you don't want to trash all your other work with a PU3 reset, does repeating a single position programming add mA to the previous setting, or completely replace it? For example, if I somehow ended up with P6 set to 3000mA, would going from P6 to P1 to P4-rock back-P4-rock back-P4 then P0 add 300mA to my P6 3000mA, or replace it with P6 only being 300mA now?
Thanks again!
