I'm nearing completion of the wiring portion of my first saber. Thanks again to those have assisted me during the build.
I have encountered a problem with the flash on clash. The diagram in the PC 2.0 manual is pretty straight forward.
I have soldered in a power xtender 2.0 . Wiring the back three points on the xtender to the positive and negative of the battery pads on the card and the center(foc) to the flash on clash pad.
The front two pads on the xtender were soldered to the Pos and Neg of the alternate LED. I used a jst connector between the xtender pad and LED so I could disconnect if needed. I have my resistor on the positive side.
Problem: I'm not getting any response from the LED from the FOC pad or power xtender side of things. All my solder joints turned out really well, and I've tested the led by disconnecting the jst and plugging it into the
jst female of the Main LED and it worked fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue .. or if I missed something in the manuals that requires parameters to be changed on the card.
Any direction or help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Def
