Solenoid and Pusher

Solenoid and Pusher

Advanced > Solenoid / Pusher. All Device scope.

Pusher hardware and its timing curve. One set for the whole blaster rather than per profile.

Setting	Range	Takes effect	What it does
Extend @ High V (ms)	0 to 60	Live · conditional	How long the solenoid stays extended with the battery at the High V Threshold. With Dart Sensing on (firmware 2.2.0 and later), it is the longest a push lasts: the pusher pulls back sooner once the dart has gone. Only shown while Pusher Type is Solenoid.
High V Threshold (mV)	Low Voltage Cutoff to a full pack (13200 to 16800 on 4S), ±10	Live · conditional	The battery voltage the High V extend time is set for. The extend time follows a straight line through the two thresholds and carries on along it beyond them, rather than stopping at either time. With the usual longer Low V time, a push keeps getting shorter above High V and longer below Low V. Only shown while Pusher Type is Solenoid.
Extend @ Low V (ms)	0 to 60	Live · conditional	How long the solenoid stays extended with the battery at the Low V Threshold, usually longer than at High V so the push stays consistent as the battery, and with it the solenoid's force, sags. With Dart Sensing on (firmware 2.2.0 and later), it is the longest a push lasts. Only shown while Pusher Type is Solenoid.
Low V Threshold (mV)	1 V a cell under the cutoff, to just under High V Threshold (9200 to 16790 on 4S), ±10	Live · conditional	The battery voltage the Low V extend time is set for; see High V Threshold for how the time carries on past it. With no battery pin wired, the firmware assumes 3.5 V a cell: set the two extend times equal, and the push lasts the same at any voltage. Only shown while Pusher Type is Solenoid.
Retract Time (ms)	0 to 100	Live	How long the pusher takes to retract before the next cycle can begin. Applies regardless of Pusher Type. Together with extend time, this sets the achievable-DPS ceiling that every mode's Target DPS clamps to. While Dart Sensing is on, Min Push stands in for the extend time, since a push can end that soon (firmware 2.2.0 and later).
Vibration Pulse (ms)	0 to 20	Live	Pulse width for the haptic feedback buzz Plasma uses to signal an armed dart or an overheat. 0 disables it entirely, which is the default. Keep it short: it is meant to be felt, not to move a dart.
Pusher Type	None / Solenoid	Reboot	Whether a solenoid's voltage-compensated timing curve, meaning the four fields above, applies at all.
Reverse Direction	on / off	Live	Flips pusher motor polarity, for a motor wired backwards.
Debounce (ms)	0 to 200	Live	Debounce specifically for the pusher's own cycle-detection switch.

A wired dart switch has its own section, which can end a push early and hold a shot until a dart arrives: see Dart Switch.
