    Default Sabersound 1.0

    After all the mucking around with tiny solder points on this card. Cranked it up. Sounds good for 2 seconds then the swing sound goes nuts until i turn it off. Any idea why this could be?

    Also is it ok if i sandpaper off the nobs on either side of the board so it actually fits in.

    Thanks

    What "nobs" (knobs?) are you talking about?

    My Sabersound does that when the batteries are low.
    As for the "nubs" (where the boards were connected together when manufactured) you can sand them off.

    There is a simple math formula for Saber names.-----------------------To check out the sound fonts I've made:

    Hmmm... can I assume that you have the capacitor on the switch trick installed?

    Yes please explain. I have never heard about this.

    On sugestion that I can give, ditch the 4 aaa and go for a set of 3.7 lith-ion batts. and you should have more then enough power for that board. I have a set of liths powering my SS1.0 with a 1000ma buck puck on a blue P4 and I get a good amount of run time and the thing is crazy brite.

    Read through this thread for the "switch bounce" problem that the US 2.0 and 2.1 had. The Sabersound board, since it was made by the same company, can have the same issues.

    And this thread, especially around page 6:
