led flicker?

[Novastar]

Uh-oh... wait a minute. I *DO* recall something like this happening before on one of my Corbin boards...

only... it wasn't the batteries being low at all. Some kind of capacitor became loose on the board--it literally FELL off, lol...

It also happened on a second board at a later date--although this was about a year or so after owning the boards.

Check to see if all the parts on the board are securely on there. There are also tiny resistors--if any have fallen off or have broken, that could cause something problematic as well.

What is the other clash sensor you used for corbins board? was it another mr sensor or one off a hasbro?

If you are using a hasbro spring/peg crap style sensor then it could be touching metal and screwing things up.

it IS a crappy hasbro sensor. hmm... i'll take a look and see if the sensor is causing any issues. maybe wrap it in electrical tape or something. i wont be able to get to it for a day or two though because of school and work and everything else but when i do i'll let you guys know.

i BELIEVE i may have fixed it. there was a loose connection on the corbin board leading to my switch. i repaired that connection and it seemed to work but when i was cramming everything back in the hilt a wire came off one of the pads on the led and i don't have time tonight( wow its 4am... i guess its morning) to mess with it anymore. once i fix that connection we'll see....

Good luck.

A good idea is to have quick connectors whereever handy. Like the led. the switche. battery pack.

Makes craming it all togeather easyer.

If I had the room I would of done it.

yeah i'm kinda sitting in the same boat as far as quick connectors go. i only put one on the led and i really dont have room for anything else. i'm trying to cram my speaker, battery pack, mr board, corbin board and switch all in a hilt thats only like 11" long. its a pain.
