CFX Board shutting off
« on: July 07, 2020, 11:21:02 AM »
How is everyone? Have a quick question that I cannot figure out. I just built a cfx with neo pixel, and when I have the blade in, I hit auxiliary button, it shuts the board off. It's only when I hold auxiliary while blade is in. When the blade is out everything works fine. Have any idea what is wrong? Is it the blade?

CFX
18650 3400mah 3.7V battery

SOLVED

Really? I have it charged. Think it's the battery itself?

I don't think that's the problem. See my response to Erv below.

Sorry, I'm in the wrong spot on the forum. When I got the email, I thought it was my earlier question that was being addressed. So my questions/comments have nothing to do with the question currently being discussed.

My bad. I'm still trying to get used to how this forum works.

Mine works fine without the neo pixel blade though. When I connect the blade and hit and hold auxilary button it cuts off completely.

It sounds like you don



I find your arguments vague and unconvincing.

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

Hmmm, That message cutoff was strange.  There seems to be a problem on the forum.

It sounds like you have the wrong battery solution for a Neopixel setup.

Yup. Battery Pcb trips probably.

You said in you first post you're using a 3400mAh 18650...is it like this one: https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Panasonic-Li-Ion-18650-37V-3400mAh-PCB-Protected-Rechargeable-Battery-P853.aspx If so, that's the wrong battery. It has a current cut-off of about 5A. You need one like this:https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Sony-Li-Ion-18650-37V-15A-3120mAh-PCB-Protected-Rechargeable-Battery-P1449.aspx or this one: https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/DM-Sony-Li-Ion-18650-37V-15A-3120mAh-PCB-Protected-Rechargeable-Battery-P1559.aspx
