Found it! My wiring harness is bad. One or both of the yellow wires isn't connected properly. I was able to make the LED light by touching both ends of a small wire to the posts instead of using the...

No, removing the speaker made no difference.

It occurred to me that the lack of a boot sound might be caused by a bad speaker, so I tested it and I'm not getting any continuity, so that seems to explain that. But the LED does work, so the...

I've charged the battery until it's reading 4v and it still doesn't work. I've confirmed with my multimeter on the pins of the wiring harness that power is getting to the board, but there's still no...

Thanks. I've got it all wired up now and... it isn't working? No startup sound or anything. Maybe the battery needs charging, though it tested at 3.56v. This is the 3400mAh 18650 pack from the store.

Here, hopefully these help. My phone sucks at taking close-ups, sadly.

Well, last time I wired up a Nano Biscotte it didn't go well (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?20581-NBv3-Doesn-t-boot-gets-very-hot) so I decided to wait to solder on the harness...

...I went over everything so many times and I missed that? Never in all my life have a felt like such an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out though. Reversing the battery causes...nothing to happen at...

I'm working on my first saber, and I'm pretty new to electronics in general anyway, so I have absolutely no idea what's going wrong. I had first wired up my Nano Biscotte and everything worked fine,...

You know, if Maul hadn't mentioned football I would have had no clue what this topic was about.

And I have to agree with Jedi-Loreen, sports that consist entirely of beating the crap out of...

Though I have to admit that if for some reason I did ever need to build a bomb, it's be funny as heck to build it out of a Light-Brite.

LordArgyll, that is a very beautiful saber, I'm quite impressed. I never thought leather was something that mad sense on something like a ligthsaber but I think I'm going to have to change my mind...

First of all, "borrowed" and "steeped." Second, "Kurosawa," as in Akira Kurosawa, writer, director, and producer of The Hidden Fortress.

It's interesting how so many stories are borrowed from bits...

It looks good, I really like the somewhat weathered look it has, you should leave it like that instead of polishing it up. Even with the minor changes it looks very different from a Luke saber, I...

Not surprising, considering how much the original Star Wars copied other things, like the Red Badge of Courage and The Hidden Fortress.

What was that saying again? "There's nothing new under the...

On the other hand though, even if "lightsaber" is trademarked it's practically a hose-hold term, calling something a lightsaber could theoretically be defended under fair use, but that would take a...

My family has an old drum set, I tried learning how to play it last year but I just didn't like it enough to keep practicing. As much fun as drums an be I like guitar a lot better, probably because...

Sadly, some of us can only taste college tuition and having to use their spare money for food.




Though I guess buttered toast is food, isn't it?

What's all this snow stuff people keep talking about?

More productive, yes. Easier, no. Trust me on that one.

It would also be substantially more intelligent and only marginally more costly.

Just make sure you get an acoustic guitar, since those...

Actually, cosplay can be used for anything involving wearing a costume, it's just the Japanese term for it. It is usually only used in America when it involves an anime or video game costume or...

I thought it would be interesting for people to discuss their craziest or strangest ideas for sabers.

My own craziest idea: while reading about Erv's custom soundboard I was thinking about what...

I suppose it would be kinda cool if you wanted a very bright katana style hand guard, as that's just about the right size for something like that.

Come to think of it I'd kinda like to see someone...

Possibly because 81 mm is about 3 inches. Now I suppose if you don't mind having a hilt that wide it's no problem, but I think I'll pass on these for now.

Meh, most of the people who put "Jedi" down on those surveys did so just because of an Internet thing that went around telling them to and they thought it was funny. The creepy ones are those "Jedi...
