wow guys, i made this thread a week ago and went on vacation expecting an answer a long the lines of "no get a t-board." Its awesome to see everyone putting their minds together. I think were all eager to know how javamans tests come out.
I found my soldering iron but I'm going to have to go to Radioshack tonight and pick up a solder sucker. The wire braid is too messy to work with at least till my skills improve. It draws up a lot of solder but at the same time it tends to spread it around the pad. I went ahead and recorded a wave of both firing modes so I have something to compare once I change the cap. Anyone know of a good cheap hosting site that I could link to the files here? I really hope that this works since I'm at a loss as to what to try next.
Well, bad news. The new cap didn't work. I swapped out the 100uf one on the board with a 10uf one but the fire rate seems the same. Surprisingly the board still appears to function just fine WITHOUT the cap at all! It must handle debounce or something else non-critical. This is kind of disapointing but I hadn't given up yet.

well honestly if you think about it, it couldn't have been that easy, or else it would have already been done. Know what i mean? I mean showing that there are the t-board and is-board shows that probably this process has been done before and the creation of those is the result of their research. But in the same respect i'm sure theres some way to get past the cap of that stock board, i say this knowing nothing about electronics lol, but theres gotta be some way to get around it.
