We believe that the 2 optical isolators inside the control box (the red things in the right side of the control box) that control the boom are kind of touchy / dying, everything else seems to work fine. unfortunately to get to the isolators that control the boom we need to take all the controls out of the box to and replace the isolators. But at the moment we don't want to do that as we want to demo this at the towns police open house this coming weekend.
