Thread: Nano Biscotte V4 w/ Neopixel (No lights but FoC lights up but messes up audio)

  1. #1

    Default Nano Biscotte V4 w/ Neopixel (No lights but FoC lights up but messes up audio)

    Just finished my first build, Using A Nano Biscotte with Neo Pixel blade.

    Everything is from TCSS, i bought anything that was "plug and play". when i pull the kill key the audio works fine, when i put the blade in and turn it on there is no light only sound, but if i hit the hilt the FoC triggers and lights up the blade but then plays corrupted audio (normal audio with static over it. i followed the directions from the old TCSS saber mat. I'm using one of the 18650 batteries with the resistor in the data line. thought of just using a wire with no resistor. looking for some ideas.

    thanks for the help!

    That’s usually a configuration issue.

    so its an issue with the micro sd card? i'm guessing the card is probably programmed for tri cree and not a pixel blade?

    Update: have gotten lights working, messing with colors now, audio is getting crackly, not sure what to adjust yet.

    Update2: It looks like the speaker problem is not enough power from the battery? i am using the TCSS Panasonic Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 3400mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery. what should i be using?

    If you’re using a pixel blade, you need a 15A drain battery.

    perfect, I'll order the TCSS one today. I also have some Efest 3000mAh 35A 3.7 left over from a vape device. would these also work in a battery cradle?

    No, they tend to be unprotected.
