This video was very helpful. I am new to automating my hogtrap. I followed your video very closely. The was able to get everything setup and working. The only problem I am having is after the trunk popper activates (pulls,) the fuse pops . I went as high as a 40 amp fuse, but still the same issue. I triple checked all of my connections to make sure I did not have a dead short. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot?

The switch I used has two separate circuits it's turning on and off. Did you use a separate switch for each wire or a switch that switches on and off two separate circuits at the same time? You definitely don't want both wires going through a switch with a single circuit. Wanted to clear that up since I didn't do that in the video. As far as the fuse problem, it seems for some reason the popper is having to work harder than it should. Try it without it hooked to anything and see what happens. It could be the trigger for the trap is too tight to release. I had a similar problem and I worked on the sear that holds the door mechanism so it was more of a hair trigger. It lowered the amps needed which stopped popping fuses.

@ You are correct. It was a single switch. What I did initially was run 10 gauge wire from the positive lug of the battery to the switch. Then I tied the 2 fuses going out of the switch. The 3 amp to the GSM switch and the 30 amp to the lawn mower solenoid. After it popped the fuses a few times, I tried bypassing the switch and connecting the solenoid directly to the positive on the battery with the 30 Amp fuse. I used the single circuit switch to come from the positive of the battery to the switch - then 3 amp fuse, then GSM. As far as the tension, I did try disconnecting the wire from the popper. Same issue. I am wondering if there could be short in the popper?

@RTMoney7376 Do you have the board set to temporary hold or permanent hold. If temporary, which is correct, how long do you have it set to hold. Should only be like a second.

Quick question. I purchased the the GSM-Auto 4G to activate a remote siren. T- Mobile sim works great, however where I need the system to be placed there is no T-Mobile service. AT&T sim card will not connect at all. When I called AT&T and gave the the IMEI number, they told me that IMEI number is not compatible with their network. Any thoughts??

Activate the SIM card and insert. You can set how long the relay stays open and a couple of other settings, but none of it is complicated though. The last time I looked, these control boards were getting hard to find. Be sure to get 4g LTE

@@kyleplayer248 i did create a whitelist. Didn't want to take the risk of some SPAM caller accidently closing my trap. I did use the app. I set it to stay open for around 2 seconds. I figured out how to hook it up to my computer also, but it's been a while so I can't remember the details but it worked. The app is much easier to use.

Hi, I've been trying to learn and hopefully get something figured out on my trap. I'm kind of new to all of the workings of electrical stuff, but I've been studying up on it. What size wires do you use to connect into the controller, does it matter if you use 12 gauge on all of it? I saw on another deal where they used 24 ga, just can't really find what is better to use as far as the detailed working of the project. Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

The board itself hardly requires any amps to operate, we're talking milliamps, so about any size wire would work. However, the 35 lb solenoid I used pulls about 25 amps for just a second. I used 10 gage on mine to feed both the board and the solenoid with one wire. The wire is only about 10ft long so current loss isn't bad and I've had no issues. 12 ga will probably work fine especially if you use two separate pairs to feed the board and the solenoid. I would try it. If you were holding power to the solenoid for more than a few seconds, you could have heating issues and current loss due to the resistance from the heat.

@uhoh71
@uhoh71 5 жыл бұрын
I got the fuse holders from tractor supply. It's the blade type mini fuses. I got the smallest they make. For the circuit board which I think was 3 amp. For the lock poper had to go to about a 30 amp fuse. I can look when I get home from work to see exactly what size they are. Edited to update fuse sizes; 3 amp for the board and 30 amp for the lock poper.

There are codes you text to it to change settings like latch time and other stuff. You can also plug it into your computer with the cable that comes with it and use the software. You can also check signal strength with text commands.

It's been awhile since I've used this but I would say the setting called "latching" is the problem. You can set it to stay on to hold or "latch". Evidently you don't have enough fuse/circuitry to handle the app draw for that. Go back into settings and set it to close only momentarily for about 2 seconds. It's in the instructions manual

You could but the higher voltage going through the relay to the lock popper will burn up the contacts much sooner than the voltage it takes to operate the solenoid instead.

What gauge wire did you use?
@uhoh71
@uhoh71 4 жыл бұрын
I used a light gage wire. I think it was 16 ga. Current to the solenoid only lasts a few seconds, so the wire doesn't get hot. Carries plenty of amps to work the solenoid. The control board is only using milliamps so you could use really small gage wire for it. Some folks use telephone wire for the board and to the trigger connections on the solenoid.

One lesson I learned with the small trap is it needs about a 12 inch lip around the top to keep the hogs from jumping out. Mine is 5 feet tall and still had one jump up on the rim and flip out of it. Out of bunches of hogs, he was the only one though. Already modified the trap.
