This works:
#define ORIENTATION ORIENTATION_SDA_TOWARDS_BLADE
This does not work:
#define ORIENTATION ORIENTATION_USB_CCW_FROM_BLADE
The result on the latter is: Compilation error: ‘ORIENTATION_USB_CCW_FROM_BLADE’ is not a member of ‘Vec3’
Interesting. What version ProffieOS are you using?
It looks like ORIENTATION_USB_CCW_FROM_BLADE is new in 8.x

Something with more surface area would be better than a wire.
A washer maybe?
Did it show any press events in the serial monitor?
What kind of click do you need to turn the saber on?
I’m just thinking that holding the wire too long might send a different event, and thus not turn the saber on as intended.
If it’s showing numbers below the threshold, then the button should register as pressed…
The message I sent right after the one you quoted, was that I had a PEBKAC error (Problem Exists Between Keyboard & Chair). I had made a backup of the files before testing, and I was inadvertently editing the backup copy with all those numbers… lol… so basically it was still at 1700 and I was just uploading the same build over and over ahhahahah.
I only have one button. There isn’t a hard off. I just pull the battery when not in use.
Looks like profezzorn noted it’s avail in 8.x (I didn’t even know there was an 8.x to use). But its working now. If other people run into this issue, at least this post might help.
Appreciate the help. I just have to choose a button approach. I really might go with a mometary microswitch (I have one that measures 3.5mm x 6mm x 2mm); or maybe I’ll just do the accelerometer twist on/off method.
Battery comes out easy:
How can I add an image size on the photos> Yikes. I can only do one per post. Here’s the other relevant two:
You can see the test wire. I have a ground there too I’m not currently using.
