CFX blade issue SOLVED
«
on:
March 16, 2020, 11:08:41 AM »
So as soon as I slide the kill switch, before I even touch a button, the blade lights up white. I’m running the default config except ledstrip=27 for a short test blade.
Ignition and any button functions sound normal, but the blade does nothing except stay lit all the time.
The pixel connector is tested and working on a proffie setup.
Resistance is reading correctly at 330 ohm.
Reading 4.1V with multimeter.
Pretty sure nothing is bridged, I just rewired it this morning to be sure.
Am I missing some config value? I haven’t made any changes except the led strip one above.
Thanks for any input

Hopefully I'm reading the manual right.
So I'm changing ls1
from: 350,700,24,1,3
to: 52, 104, 24, 1,3
So 52,104,24 for timings, 1 for GRB order (SK6812) and 3 for RBG only without the white.
Does that sound correct?

Ok updated firmware and all is working well.
Main blade lights properly, and CC lights properly after I changed the byte order.
Blade mirror working as intended.
Thanks Erv, marking as solved.
