Hello everyone!
Please i welcome any advice or hint with my saber. I bought my parts in the customsabershop store, everything arrived fine, I took time with reading the manuals, I did the calculations, then did the proto-wiring everything worked just fine bootup, light, sound, clash etc.
Then I optimized the wiring, so all the internal wiring and stuff could cram into small place, put everything togeter and again, everyting just fine. The only thing was that I had to swing a little bit heavy to pull out the swing sound. I thought that I will just play a bit with the SD card settings and everyting will be perfect. But after another minute or two, i no longer needed to swing hard, the swing sounds came out smoothly. And after another couple of swings, hits and so, the swing sound started to occure way too much. And then even without moving the saber at all. Also the saber started to turn itself off when the flash on clash should occure. And now, when i was about to write this message to TCSS forum and wanted to capture it on video, the saber shuts itsel off on its own after like 2 seconds after I fire it up.
If it helps, I can draw the complete wiring. This is my setup:
- Nano Biscotte v 2.0
- 4x AAA batteries (4x1.2v ~ real output is a bit more than 4.8v )
- Tri-rebel (blue-blue-white)
The two blue LEDs are wired in parallel. The current is limited using single 1ohm 5w resistor. The resistor for the white LED for FoC is 1.8ohm 5w resistor - wired to the power extender.
What are the possible explanations of this strange behavior? Could I have burned the circuit board? Is a short circuit possible explanation?
And one more thing. When the saber turns itself off, the bootup sound is played rigth away.
You can check my fail in this short video. I took the saber apart.
And here is my wiring sketch, if it helps, but I originaly draw it only for planning pourpose, not to show it, so sorry for the ugliness.

Thanks in advance for any help.
