Good morning! Newbie to the group here.
I've completed the wiring of all the circuit boards with the power brick, amp, and speaker, flipped the switch, and have the sound working great. However, the lights aren't coming on at all. I checked and double-checked the routing of the wiring, polarity, etc., and all seems to check out. I'd like to find out if there is some way to troubleshoot this and narrow down where the possible fault might be (i.e. - do this set of wiring to confirm that the wand lights come on, then do this set of wiring to confirm that the cyclotron lights come on). Or is this a set where if there is one fault somewhere, then no lights come on? Just looking for advice.
Another comment, and that is that I see how the wiring is super thin, and removing the shielding is challenging as I want to at least "tin" the ends before proceeding with assembly. It was mentioned that using a flame for a few seconds can be helpful in removing the shielding, but the end result for me is copper wiring that is covered in black residue from the burn off, and I don't know if this is contributing to not having a solid connection and if this was due to poor technique on my part.
Overall, I'm curious as to what I might be doing wrong as I'll bet I'm right on the edge of getting this to work and yelling "eureka!"
(Apologies for the double posting....it was a late Friday night).
