Bug Dragonfly Electronics work once, dont work after I quit

[Kaito]

Yesterday, Zatnikitelman helped me get the dragonfly up and running (make sure the Bus select is on FC1, hold FC1 start until its at 32V, then rinse, repeat with FC2, etc), and it worked great. Then I quit, then came back later to find the dragonfly powered down. No problem, just go through the procedure again...thats where the problem occurs. I hold FC1 start until it reaches 32V, but then it automatically goes back to 0, without me releasing the Start button. To compensate, I've been using Dragonfly made Easy, but theres a bug where the "source" docking port is just for show, and it still uses the Dragonflies docking port as the "source".

Any help on fixing any of these would be awesome. Thank you,

Bug Dragonfly Electronics work once

Hi kaito
I try to powerup the dragonfly again for some days. In my orbiter folder for scenarios i have the 4 default files and i use the one called v1.0 poweredup (3 others are version 0.935)
I meet the same prob as you fc1/2 always shut down so my solution (don t know if procedure on the paper is ok) make all power routine on batterty then test bus sns trip. At this step all red lights warnings are off except for fc load. And after that set the power routing on fc1 in this order : first ac1 then dc2 and dc1 ( at this moment fcload red light becomes off).
If you try in a different order : put power routing dc1 on fc1 first then fc is shut down.
Hope this will help you.

I have the same problem... seams like there is a problem saving/reading a scenery. The DC1 get a negative current when the scenery is saved... and each time you save it it gets worse.
Simple to check: put everything (AC, heathers and fan) on DC2, DC2 on FC1 and DC1 on batteriy. Monitor the FC1 current when turning DC1 to FC1, instead of going up the current will go down (DC1 is generating power). If you check the scenery file you'll see a negative number for DC.
I just edit he file changing this negative value to positive.
