Does anyone have an idea why my sound is partially working but none of my lights are working?Your next sentence answers it...
I have gone over the wiring numerous times and switched the pos/neg wires and nothing seems to be working.You probably fried it.
Hello all,Does anyone know the answer to these questions? I have seen similar questions throughout the forum but no answer. Now I am having the exact same issue. I know the sound board works, nothing is fried, and the wiring is as depicted in the tutorial. When I flip the main switch (DPDT), I should get the lights and corresponding sound effect. The lights come on, but I don't get the sound effect. I isolated the amp, speakers and sound board, and it worked just fine. The problems seems to be none of the switches are working, and I am not sure how to fix it. I tried reversing the polarity and that didn't work either. I wired it as described above with red being positive, yellow negative and green ground, but that shouldn't matter as long as I've kept pos to pos, etc. If anyone has this figured out, your knowledge would be appreciated!
Well, since I posted my message last week, (again, apologies for the double post) I learned that it sometimes helps to read things a bit more closely. I have the lights working perfectly now. Seems I had missed where exactly to connect the 12v power source (the amp and the power pack light kit). Once I had that corrected using a pigtail connector to the barrel plug for the 12v brick battery, the lights began working like a charm.
While I now have the lights working, the sound is not working like it had before. Turning the switch on used to have the power on hum. Now, there is no sound at all. Can't get the theme either. I have sounds for pack shut down and pack venting, and stream firing, but that's about it. I did check the wiring and all appears correct. I do want to verify this: the thin wire bundles for the switches come with red, yellow, and green shielding. Using the sound board diagram from earlier in this thread, I've been connecting the thin red wires to the terminals marked with red, the yellow wires to the black terminals, and the green wires to the pale green terminals. Is this consistent with those of you out there who have working sound and light?
Another question is about the Miscellaneous Sound Switch. It has three wires, but the diagram shows only two connections are used on the sound board. What happens to the third? I wouldn't think it just sits there loose.
Appreciate your help.
I have a question about the soundchip. Can I use this as a sort of standalone unit? I am building a proton rifle for a friend and he just want the sounds, and not the lights (won't fit anyway).Yes it can. Just your power in, speaker out, than your activation for each sound.
Can I just hook up the firebutton and the toggleswitches directly to the soundboard to make them work?
I'm having a hard time figuring out where the 2 conductor from the main swith goes. Is it both on plug 2 or both in plug 3?The 2-conductor side of the main switch gets cut. I left about seven inches from the switch. The remainder of the two conductor wire goes from plug 3 back to the pack lights. So, it is a leap of faith but you will make two wires out of one from the two conductor wire connected to the main switch.
Or is it one in 2 and one in 3 than the free space on 2&3 go back to the pack board?
Ooooooooohhhhh......You are welcome!
Thanks. That's pretty much my last connection be for I hook it up to my 12V and amp to test it all...
Thanks again!!
