Try contacting Ken Myers at [email protected] I know he uses the Blinky and is really up to snuff on them.

thanks for your help!!!! today i sent an e-mail to astro and they said it could be a few things and gave me a name and phone # to call but i have not got a chance to call them yet this is the e-mail i got from them (minus the name & phone #)

Fast blinking is not good
It's possible you do not have the correct connections or that it
may not work with this pack OR
there is not enought voltage on the pack(rapid blinking)


i know it works with the packs becuse i have two of the same packs and it works great with my other pack
i know my pack has 12.46Volts
so i think i must have a bad connection or bad plug on my battery pack

i will look into this more and call the # astroflight gave and when i find the problum i will post what i find


i do have to say that astroflight was/is fast to help me and that means alot to me!!!!

I'm glad you got good service from Astro. I love their stuff, but have not found their customer service to be particularly good. On the other hand, I just bought two more blinky's for my Ai23 cells.
