Hey all!
So I can't seem to get my GBFans electronics to work. I'm definitely a complete moron when it comes to electronics, with about...50% of anything I install electronics in working the first time. Sadly, I'm at my wits end working on this myself, and I'm hoping that ya'll might be able to help me sort this out. Here are some photos of what I've done to install it, with descriptions underneath each photo.
Ok, so this is the battery pack. I didn't modify it.
This is the connection from the battery, to a switch. Rather than modifying the battery, I bought a pigtail connector so that I could split it to a positive and negative wire to go to a switch.
This is from the pigtail to a on/off switch. The wiring is temporary. Once I get everything working, I'll replace the electrical tape with butt connectors.
Here's the connections to the pack blaster. The unit will power up when I turn the switch on between the battery and the blaster, but the switches on the wand, sounds, and lights don't work. Nor do the pack lights. In fact, when the pack blaster powers up, it just plays the audio of the test sequence over and over again. You can see the switch settings I put in on the board. I think that they're correct...I'm going for the full spectrum of sound effects.
The pack lights board. I haven't really messed with any settings on this.
The wand board.
My wand switch settings.
If anyone can see what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'd love to get this thing up and working!
EDIT: I think I finally got the images working!
