Thread: Cfx w/ in hilt Cree not lighting up

    yes battery is fully charged. when I change the ledsteip=to 1. as soon as I turn main switch on. power is applied to the board and leds lights up.
    with ledstrip=1. it works dependant on the main on/off Switch. activation switch does not control the cree

    I got the correct resistors per TCCS calculator.

    I have the positive wire of leds wired directly to the positive of the board/battery

    I also checked L1 L2 L3 pad on board and I'm getting power @ the pads

    That wasn’t the value I asked about.

    Set the following values to what I have listed below, and it should work.

    strippower=0000
    ledstrip=0

    *EDIT* Go with what FJK is telling you, he knows his stuff and I’m just throwing ideas out to see if any may help. All good in my books

    when I change the ledsteip=to 1. as soon as I turn main switch on. power is applied to the board and leds lights up.
    Ok. Just to clarify, you did get the main LED to light up but it is controlled by the kill-switch to the activation switch? It sounds like you may have switch wiring issue more than an LED wiring issue. Do you have a wiring diagram you could share with us?

    ledstrip = “0” usually means the board is in high power LED mode. Changing to “1” is essentially telling the board you are using a ledstrip with one pixel in it AFAIK. Meh, if it works it works right?

    I have the positive wire of leds wired directly to the positive of the board/battery
    That is wired correctly as per the manual.

    No, that’s NOT quite how this works.

    OK let me set up the parameter as u suggested

    What's does the strippower 0000 parameter tell the circuit board?

    Strippower basically tells the board if you’re using Neopixels or LEDs. 0000=LEDs, 1111=Neopixel
