Hello!
A PC3.5 build is acting strangely, and I wonder if anyone can help diagnose the symptoms.
Summary: New install of PC3.5 adapted for use with a single 3.7V 18650 cell and a RGB tri-Cree XPE2 wired for one LED per each of the three channels on the board (red= main channel 1, G&B on channels 2&3).
When I pull the kill key, blue LED seems to be direct-driven and overdriven even when board is not powered on. Other two LEDS do not work at all. Green and Blue use and common positive that leads back to the pos power pad on the board; green and blue negatives return to bridged PEx pads on channels two and three. Red uses the main (L+ and L-) pads. Only Blue works, and it is on whenever kill key is out.
I'm using the stock SD card, only mod was to to delete color profiles except only one, test profile (color0=400,400,400 fcolor0=400,400,400) in the override file. But the fact that the LED has power even when the board doesn't tells me I'm probably looking for a short somewhere. (All connections are covered with heat shrink, and board is insulated from the hilt...
Sound, recharge/kill key, accent LEDs, and lighted switch buttons all working as expected.
I'll post pics of the wiring and the override as CONFIG files ASAP. This one has me stumped, so I really appreciate any ideas the community has.
