I’m unsure how to explain this issue, but essentially: building my own custom saber, I have wired up my proffieboard v3 outside my chassis I’m designing to test my config and whatnot to make sure everything works as it should, plus I had to wait for a few more parts to arrive. Yet, seemingly based on the orientation I tilt the board, it will shut off, and when moved back to a different position it powers on again. I have redone all my wiring and am pretty certain that there are no shorts
You could be triggering your gesture controls. Do you have them enabled in your config?
Actually I see your video. That’s complete power loss, not a retraction, so controls are not relevant.
Looks like there a lot of wires moving as you move the board. You’re gettng such clean and fast reboots, my 2 cents is that there’s still a contact or joint that is not entirely happy. Maybe at the recharge port or the kill switch…anything hooked directly to the battery.

I’ll take a better look at my wiring. I’ve been thinking that it has something to do with the wiring on the board itself as there’s still power loss even if the switch/recharge port assembly doesn’t move
Be sure to look closely at the underside, where you pushed the wire through the board. Sometimes a strand of wire comes off and touches another pad.
I recommend measuring over visual inspection.
(Your eyes may deceive you, don’t trust them.)
Basically, unplug the battery, hook up a multimeter instead, set it to measure resistance. If the resistance vary significantly (and go down to almost zero) when you move the board, then there is a short somewhere. If on the other hand the resistance goes up significantly (near infinite) then your movements are causing something to get disconnected.
