NB Sound Board Issues

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

You should be testing your entire setup with a different battery source (preferably just one single cell 3.7V battery) - and test it ALL outside of the hilt, since you could be shorting something out inside the hilt. You will be asked for high quality pictures and close ups of the connections on the board, to the LED and a general pic of the wiring. I saw your post on FX as well.

How far did you adjust the Drive parameter? If you drop it below about 820, then the NB can get damaged. The lower you set the Drive parameter, the more heat will build up on the board.

It's much safer to use a resistor. They're very inexpensive, and they're designed to disperse the extra power properly.

I drove it at 918. I can't find a 2w 1 Ohm resistor anywhere for the life of me (the closest the circuit requires) but I'll keep searching for one and I don't find it that logical to order one all the way from Washington State and pay $7.99 to ship a 66 cent resistor if I don't have to.

My whole setup worked perfectly until I took out the card and altered some swing sensitivity parameters. I posted the question there to see what Erv himself had to say about it.
