CFX Main LED on all the time
« on: November 06, 2021, 07:59:39 AM »
Hey guys. Not sure if I did anything wrong but for some reason I built my saber and now the main LED is always on whenever the power is connected. Everything else works, including the accent LEDs, the switches, the lot.

I'm using an RGB luxilon star, and I'm pretty sure I have the right resistor calculations.

Just to add a bit more info.

I'm using a single 18650 cell. Not sure if it's the cell's fault but I'll try recharging it and trying again.

I don't think it's a short with the accent LEDs since like I mentioned previously, they're all working fine. Switches work fine too so doesn't seem like that. All three of the main LEDs have the same issue, and I doubt I managed to short all three at the same time.

You have a ground somewhere in your wiring.

I find your arguments vague and unconvincing.

Quiet! *Slap* And there’s a fresh one if you mouth off again.

Hi K2SO,

Thanks for helping. Unfortunately I still can't seem to find the problem. I've stripped it back down to just the speaker, one main LED and the battery pack and the problem persists.

Did I accidentally short something on the board?

you possibly used the default config that is for ledstrip. Check your strippower settings or use the provided HB led config file

You were absolutely right. It works perfectly now.

Thanks Erv!
