Thread: PC3.5 wiring with MHS wiring parts

  1. #1

    Default PC3.5 wiring with MHS wiring parts

    Forgive my ignorance, as I've been trying to figure this out all night.

    I have a PC3.5 (just got it today) that I am trying to wire up. I'm staring at wiring diagrams, and I thought it was all wired up good. I go to fire up the saber and nothing happens.

    I'm using the MWS wired recharge port and MWS wired momentary switch.

    I have the switch wired to the ground and activation pads and the LED ring ran to the accent LED

    My recharge port is connected to the power pads and to the battery pack

    LED is connected to the LED pads.

    Any suggestions?

    I'll post some in a minute. I was getting a fast flashing LED ring for a couple seconds. Now it's just dead. I wired the LED to the AUX switch pad to see if it made a difference. I got the same result.

    Well, I have no idea what you could be connecting the switch LED to. Also a picture with everything connected (or connections scotch taped together for a pic) would be nice.

    I also don't see an Aux switch anywhere.

    The yellow JST shouldn't be connected. The wires you have them connected to are meant for the Aux switch. Otherwise everything looks ok.

    You may want to check the configuration files and make sure that the switch setting is set to "2", and check any override configuration files as well.

    Tried it without the yellow JST and nothing. Tried hard wiring everything by cutting off the JST connectors and connecting them together and there's nothing. I also checked it with a latching switch instead of a momentary and got nothing. I think I got a brick.
    I checked all the settings on the SD card, too.

    Did you charge the battery?
