flash won't fire

in RF60 Problems
I can't seem to get my cactus v6 and rf60 working together.
I should be in the right group etc. when I spin the wheel to modify the flash power, I can see the numbers on the flash moving.
But the flash just won't fire. What am I doing wrong?
If i hit the test button, the flash goes off. Should the test light be on all the time?

    If the flash fires when you press the test button on the V6 but the flash does not fire when you take a photo that means that your camera is not sending a trigger signal to the V6.

    What camera are you using?

    If it is a Pentax, you need to make sure that the shutter speed does not exceed 1/180s, otherwise the camera won't generate a trigger signal.

    Some mirrorless models require the activation of a mechanical shutter mode (instead of electronic shutter), before they generate a trigger signal for a hot-shoe flash/trigger.

    Sounds like a V6 hot shoe connection issue.  Do let us know what camera you are using.
    Thanks!
