Very first build. Finished it up today and got it all wired. Went with the Pico just for some basic quality of life things (a little less expensive and the ease of color changing).
The saber fires up, the foc works, colors work, color changing works, but I've got no sound. I removed/re-attached the speaker wires to the board thinking I messed that up.
Was there something I did to damage the board accidentally and didn't realize it? Or is it possible it's stuck on mute? I inspected the board under a magnifying glass to see if I could find any damage and it doesn't appear to have anything I can see. But being a novice maybe I don't know what to look for. Attaching a pic below:
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Or is it maybe just a bad board?
I've been reading around in the NB forums, and it seems to me that if the sound doesn't work, something fried one way or another. Is that a reasonable thing to assume here? Or is there anything I should check first before figuring out either getting a new one or trying to get it repaired?
The board will not be bad unless you've released the magic smoke, then it may be the amp. Hook it up to another speaker to make sure that your speaker is not blown (don't assume it's ok cos it's new) and make sure MOTG is not active. If it does requires repair, you can PM Zook here on this forum.
Hey all - update... I got in touch with Zook, who by the way is the man as many know.
I first tried a whole new speaker... no dice there.
I ended up re-wiring the speaker wires and the + and - appear to have been slightly bridged per Zook's assessment. Once that was rewired, I fired it up and lo and behold, I've got sound.
BUT... it crackles a little. A bit like static. All the sounds fire, but I just have a minor consistent crackle during operation. What might cause that??
