Newcomer / Intro Question about adding weapons

I have just added some multicannons on my Cobra. I have them assigned to group 2, and in the power allocate panel there set on 1 (and are supplied with power). I went out to a RES sight to get in some action, and the cannons did not deploy, my lasers worked fine. I went back to the station to double check everything to try and figure it out and everything looks like it should work. What am I doing wrong?
 
Just to make sure it's not a group switching thing, put them in group one, I'd suggest bound your secondary fire button.

No need to go back to the station to double check, in fact you're better off doing so in flight since you can then see what's happening. Just take care not to accidentally fire in a no-fire-zone :)
 
Make sure your deployed power usage is less then your power output. You can check this in the outfitting menu.
 
I got it figured out on why they did not deploy. I had them in a second weapons group. But now all my weapons give me a thermal overload error when I try to fire them. What did I do?

OK somehow all my system power was on engine and systems. I reset the plus and all is good now.

Multi-Canon's !

Good choice. I find them very good at chewing through to a pirates power core after eating their shields with my beam lasers
