Thread: Petit Crouton 1.6

    Default Petit Crouton 1.6

    Hello All,
    I have acquired a Petite crouton 1.6. On pg. 9 of the manual it shows the basic wiring shows that I need 2 buttons. 1 for activation and the 2nd to use for an auxiliary switch. I'm using 2 non-LED 16mm momentary switches. My question is about the activation switch. when I pull out the plug on the recharge port it turns on automatically and when I try to use the activation switch to turn it off, it comes back on once I release it. Would a latching be the way to remedy this?

    Thanks

    Change the "switch" setting in the config file to "2" for use with a momentary switch.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    No, you should check the "switch" parameter, and change it to momentary - which is "2" IIRC.

    Thanks for the quick response guys. I totally overlooked the file configuration thinking I would only need to reconfigure the files if I wanted to change the sound fonts.Guess that is a total noob mistake. Also, I had to head out and get an adapter for my computer.

    Thanks again

    Tweaking the configuration files is necessary to make your saber seem that much better. It controls swing sensitivity and blade effects. A well tuned saber is fun to play with.
