I apologize ahead of time for asking a question with little knowledge on the topic to begin with but I’m getting ready to pull my hair out. I’m honestly just hoping if someone here can help find out if my saber electronics are screwy or if my config upload is bad on the proffie board. I have a Proffie 2.2 and I’m trying to get it working in my 7Chambers MoM removable chassis. I followed Stephen Powells YouTube tutorial on creating and uploading a config and watched it twice over to be sure I was doing it correctly and when the upload finished in Arduino I could hear the speaker say a Luke Skywalker quote so I unplugged the proffie and put the battery in the chassis, then I plugged it into the female end of the chassis which holds the wiring for the helper board in the box and tried to turn it on and I get absolutely nothing. not a sound, not a light, nothing. I then checked continuity between all of my connectors in each half of the board and everything is connected properly. so basically I just don’t know where to go from here, hoping someone could give me a beginners tip as ive been trying to get this thing going for upwards of a month now with the only hope being the Luke quote when I finished the config upload. if anyone needs more info I am happy to provide what I can. thanks a ton ahead of time. here is my Config File if it helps
CodyMoMconfig.h (10.3 KB)
Did you turn it on while it was still plugged into usb? If yes did it work? If you leave it on, put the battery in and then unplug USB does it stay on until you remove the battery?
unfortunately I can’t test it out due to the way the removable chassis is set up, the circuit with the battery isn’t completed unless the removable part of the chassis holding the battery and the proffie is plugged in to the part that holds the helper board (2 momentary switches, accent leds, and the kill switch.
If you can’t test it under power, it’s very difficult to know what’s wrong.
Can you access and measure things? Like, does it have power? Does the 3.3v pad have 3.3v?
I cant fit anything into the hilt like a volt meter when its all together, it basically almost seals itself after making the full circuit when put together in hilt. what i may just end up doing is de-soldering all of the helper board connectors and re-soldering everything outside of the hilt. That way i can do some tests. Sounds like that may be the only way to figure it out
I don’t know how easy or difficult this is to do, but I would try to make an extension cord between the hilt and the removable chassis. That way, you could potentially have everything connected and accessible at the same time.
Wait. If you can upload, then you can just use Serial Monitor to send commands to the board.
If everything works fine like that ( on, off, clash, blast etc …) then whatever you wired in the hilt would seem to be where the problem is, not your programming.
