Edison Filament Issue

I created my config using 2 blades (pixel emitter on LED2 and LED3 & Edison Filament on LED4), uploaded it and am not getting the Edison Filament to light up at all.

I wired the filament to LED4 pad, then resistor, filament, then a spare (+) pad on a removable chassis PCB. I did this because I originally wired it wrong, then moved the positive to the PCB because a splice was too difficult. I did a multimeter diode test from LED4 pad to the positive lead and the filament lit up, so I know it’s not broken. Anything come to mind as to what I’ve done wrong? My blade config is consistent with examples I’ve seen, so I wonder if it’s a config problem or how I’ve decided to wire it? Linking to my config here:

Thanks

Try shorting LED4 to BATT- with a wire, or a paperclip or something.
If the filament lights up, then it should be wired more or less correctly.
I don’t see anything obviously wrong with the config file.

FACEPALM… User error. I was testing when it was connected via USB and the kill switch was off. As soon as I turned on the kill switch, the filament lit up. Thanks for the the response. Now, should I delete this post or leave it for others amusement? haha

Please leave the post so that others can maybe learn from your mistake. :slight_smile:

:shushing_face: Been there, done that. No facepalm needed. Awesome how walking away from something for 5 minutes minimum helps you go “The hell is wrong with me?” huh? :rofl:

The greatest teacher, failure is.

Then a genius, I should be :rofl:

This is the way
