Color Pop During CFX Power Up
« on: March 05, 2020, 06:39:09 AM »
When I pull my kill key and apply initial power to the board there is a very brief flash of green all of the way along the LED strip.

Is there a best practice to address this? Using a TCSS 3.7 V 18650 battery, 470 ohm (real value more like 450) resistor on the data line.

Other wise the board is running great.

Thank you!!

the board ?
ledstrip power losses (wire gauge, wiring, recharge port, if any) or weak battery (15A discharge preferred for ledstrip).
if not on CFX, I suggest using 330 ohm and ensure it's next to the strips (in the blade)

Sorry, yes CFX.

It as if there's a bit of power applied to the green channel right as the kill key is removed. Then the blade returns to completely off and functions perfectly.

Not a serious issue at all just trying to learn. Thank you!
