what are you powering with the aux 3.3V. I see wires. If you have a BLE module, remove it

yet this questions remains un answered

I am running 2 10 count mini pixel strips. This same configuration worked before. I moved all electronics to a new chassis.

I ended up using a different CFX board and all id working as it should. Seems you may have been right about the defective power rail. I tried 4 sds before changing out the board with the same result.

Well I'm back. Used to be Keske968 but forgot my password and my recovery email is long ago deactivated. Looking to sell some sabers but need to have a certain number of posts first. So here is one of many to allow me onto the trade station board.

I've ran a voltage map test, both 3.3v and A3.3 are running fine. My hunch is a defective power rail as you mentioned.

I suggest you run a voltage map test to see if the 3.3V and Aux 3.3V are three.
You probably have a defective power rail since it boots and crashes continuously

the Aux 3.3V powers the motion sensor and the SD card indeed

Pictures needed for visual debug

Plecter Labs / Loud beeping and blinking red light

Hello there!

Something new that I've ran into. I've installed a bunch of CFX sabers and this hasn't happened before. Everything is all wired up correctly. Once I insert the battery there is a very loud beeping noise that is constant and the red light is blinking.

I have reformatted 2 SD cards and it is still having the same issue. When I remove the battery, no beeping. I checked all soundfonts and font config txt and led txt are present.

I checked through Docklight and once connected with battery it constantly connects and disconnects and gives me an error.

Is the A3.3 that powers the SD reader dead? Anything I can do before I swap the board out completely? Any help is appreciated.

Forum Gallery / Kaizen Sabers Darksai V2

« Last post by Lord_Shar on September 07, 2023, 02:06:01 PM »

Here's a hilt that I was lucky enough to obtain last year -- A Kaizen Sabers Darksai v2 with Crystal Focus V10, 18650 Lithium Ion cell, a ccsabers illuminated short pin pixel connector, crystal chamber display slots, and hidden recharge port.  This Clone-Wars style darksaber uses a conventional 1" wide pixel blade.  I went with this set up to allow occasional light dueling since that is a big no-no for flat pixel blades.  The hilt also has a super-comfy oval shape, making it quite fun to use.  The matching Ripperblade took about 4 months to obtain.













These hilts are quite LOUD, and the original bass speaker from TCSS blew out twice.  I eventually replaced it with a lower output version from amazon.com, and that one is a little more quiet but has not had any other issues.

Alas, these hilts are now fairly difficult to obtain since the hilt maker has gone silent with many customer orders unfulfilled.

Questions/Comments / KRSabers Shin Hati saber?

« Last post by lkstarkiller on September 06, 2023, 09:02:12 AM »

anyone know if KRSabers is planning to do a Shin Hati design? I love the quality of his hilts. I saw Korbanth is going to release a shin design and while I also like his hilts, I just prefer the quality of KRSabers.
