Anyone out there with Blue Mountain Avionics Autopilot experience?  I tried engaging for the first time today and the servos came to life as soon as I applied power to the controller, which is in direct conflict with the book.  It says it shouldn't do anything until you "engage" it.  When I do try "engaging" it, the servos just jump around, and the display flashes "DISENGAGE".  I have a EFIS LIte with 2.23 software.  This was all on the ground, although it does the same thing in flight also.  Any suggestions?
