I'm using a Saber Essentials 28mm Stealth V2 Speaker in both.
So I just pulled the battery off of the charger. It fired right up and it looks like it's working without problems. My question is,...
I will leave it on for 3-4 hours. Does that sound about right? What should be the reading on a volt meter when I pull it off?
I just finished a second hilt. I'm using a 2nd card, a 2nd, wiring...
I am charging one of the batteries now, just to rule that out (fingers crossed).
Will this charger:

I also just changed out for 2 other blades and I'm getting the same results.

This is the resistor I have:

Ok... I'm kind of upset here. I spent another $100 on the shop to get all of the components I'd need to get the saber working the way you told me I had to. I spent a decent amount of time...
Dang it! Ok, if that'll fix the speaker static problem and the light strip color issue, I guess your tagline (at the end of your posts) is legit (LOL).
So everything touching the recharge port...
Crud. I guess I have to rewire most of it then. If you look at my diagram, between the recharge port, the switch and the board, the positive touches all 3. The negative coming off the battery touches...
When you say for the neopixel wires, are you taking the two ground wires that come from the board? What about the positive and the negative wires carrying the juice?
Also, what about the hot and...
Ok. That begs 3 questions:
1) are the resistors I have on the switch LED (a Dynaohm resistor) and on the data line 330 ohm, still ok?
2) I have 24/26 gauge wiring on the entire rig. Is that ok...
One sidebar... so I'm new to this so please forgive me.
I FORGOT to tell the NBV4 that I had a Led Strip.
I changed the parameter from ledstrip=0 to ledstrip=144. That made it WORK! I got it...
I have an update for this... I put together a second board and the same thing happened. No pixels. THEN I slapped the blade. The flash and clash must've activated because it turned red (like I...
I have a Nano Biscotti v4 wired up and powered by a TCSS 3.7v 3400mAh battery. The board powers on, the momentary switch activates, the switch turns on the saber and the sound all works. My problem...
Ok... here's another try. I wired a second NBV4 without the recharge port and it works just fine (see below). Between this one and the other one. I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.

Ok, so here's an interesting development. I put my ohm meter on the momentary switch BLACK and the momentary YELLOW. When I click the switch, the ohms DROP. Could that mean they're wired in...
My wiring is basically a mess because I was just trying to get it to work before making it pretty in the saber. In the picture, the disconnected BLUE wires would be going to the GND on the strip(s),...
Hi everyone. I've scoured the boards, looked at diagrams, and designed what I think is a correct wiring diagram. However, when I power up my unit, the only thing that works is the momentary switch's...
