What color LED, what wattage resistor?

Green with a 4 or 5 watts resistor.
Clash sounds are triggered without a problem.
Power supply are 4 AAA Ni-MH batteries with a 1N400x diode (like it's described in the NB v2 manual).
Well, using electrical tape isn't ideal, and taping the board upside down isn't good either. I believe your board is getting hot over time which would cause your issue. Also If you are using a 3.7V battery, your resistor is way too much. It should be .5 Ohm 1/2W.
Let me guess, you have your board taped to your battery? Do you have a chassis?

The bug was gone when I unplugged the SD-card and plugged it back in (like last time when I changed the setting).. testing if it keeps working.
The problem returned after running a few seconds without moving, I removed the tape but nothing changes.
Also tried another SD card with a backup of the factory settings without success.
Try recharging your batteries. The boards do all kinds of odd things when the voltage gets low.
Ok, saber is plugged in.
I decided to use eneloops because they keep their charge for a while but the fact that they only have 800mAh sucks (especially since the LED draws more than 1A).
I'm going to report back when the saber is fully charged.
Saber is fully charged and the problem seems gone.
Thanks for the quick help, wouldn't have guessed that low power can cause such problems. :D
Sorry to necropost, but this statement brought up a question for me, and I thought maybe it would use less of Tim's bandwidth to post
a reply instead of a new topic.
...Anyways, I currently have my NBv2 loosely covered in heat shrink, just wanting it to not short out on the inside of my hilt. So far it's
working ok, although the swing detection seems a little weak. If I remove the heat shrink, what is a better way of preventing
short circuits?
