Have you watched the entire "how to" video?

First be sure you're connected to your Obsidian board, and not your Emerald.  The Obsidian will have a black side.  Next, be sure you're in the Obsidian part of the launcher, and not the Emerald Driver one. 

If you click on "Sounds Wizard", then double click on each sound file slot, it should open a new window...

You'd have to do that for each sound, and don't forget to "write to board" when you're done.

If you're doing all of that, and still have issues, I'd suggest an email.

Hopefully this helps.

And you need to unzip the files before loading them into the launcher!

Ahhh yes - that too.

An important step.

Thanks Rac. 

diablogod, be sure to remember the folder you unzip it to.

Hi gang. I have a Manticore CE with Emerald and Obsidian v4. SO i was plonking around in my v2.45 launcher today in the Obsidian Sound Board section. I noticed "Driver Config", and realized I'd never noticed that before. I opened it and there is a changeable setting "VBATT". Mine was set to 7.4 and I can adjust as high as 9.0. Now I have the RGBW 10V battery setup. So I can guess what VBATT is for, but can anyone please confirm what VBATT adjusts? I cannot find any documentation that defines "VBATT".

My guess is it changes the voltage draw from the batteries to either the LEDs, or to the speaker. Am I close?

Cheers and thanks for any help.

Emerald never has a 10V setup. It's always two 3.7V Li-Ion batteries for Emerald (unless I missed something new on their line-up). So, I don't recommend messing with the VBATT setting. It defines which power source is built in the saber, so the setting "7.4" is the setup for Ultrasabers' Li-Ion setup. If you have a different setup, for example by using a different LED which requires different voltage or different Li-Ion batteries, you have to adjust that setting. It will change the way the board handles that power source.

@RSX or Deep/Ultra: I hope that's right - for the most part. Could you confirm or correct?

Sorry. Fat finger syndrome. "10V" was supposed to read 10W.   Battery config is -  LedEngin RGBW-10W (LZ4-20MD10)

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

You seem to have some insight, so any ideas where I can obtain documentation that explains the various settings? And instruction book or pdf perhaps?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. As the sabers are pre-configured before shipping, you normally don't have to change those settings and thus there aren't any public instructions that I'm aware of. However, I could try to give you some info if you have a screenshot available. Don't have my saber connected due to taped battery contacts (leftover from my latest holiday away from home, it sometimes just activates on its own Cheesy haven't removed them yet), so no access to the Driver config - otherwise I would've done it with my launcher...

What version of Windows are you running?
And what browser are you using for the download?

I would suggest an update of the launcher as well. Use the Maintenance Tool for that. v2.45 is the latest build of the launcher.

Ok, so first time I've tried to hook my sabers up in a few years (last was before the release of Diamond). I wanted to do some color and sound changes as I was getting a bit bored with the current settings.  Both sabers are Obsidian v3/Emerald setups from back in 2013 and last hanges I made were probably lake 2014.

I tried to use Obsidian 3.2.1 which was what I had installed. NO JOY. Refused to recognize the devices. So I uninstalled and downloaded/installed the new launcher on 2 Windows 7 PCs. Installs and updates (both as Admin) went fine.

Still - Neither PC will recognize either of the sabers as connected.  Neither machine asked about drivers and I don't see any activity as if a new USB device was being added.  I find it hard to believe there is a problem with the cable as cable issues are rare but I have ordered new standard USB2/Mini-USB cables, but I cannot for the life of me figure why else it may be refusing to see either saber on 2 different PCs. Also to note, I've used at least 4 different USB ports that I know work (tested with other devices).

Has anyone else ever run into this?  What are the specific drivers I should be looking for? Maybe if I manually uninstall/reinstall drivers on Win7 I might get connection?

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Speaking of the cable, shouldn't Any USB 2/USB 2 MiniB cable work or is there something special about the one US sells?

EDIT 2: Using USBDeview, connecting/disconnecting shows no activity. Its like no USB device is being added. (Same on both PCs so I'm thinking cable...)

First, make sure the saber is on when you connect it. Then, check the Device Manager if it updates when you plug in the saber. That means Windows is somehow recognizing a new connection. If it doesn't do anything, check the Device Manager for any problems (yellow triangles) after connecting the saber. If you see somehting like this, right-click the device, choose "Properties" and then "Update Driver". That should reinstall the driver - it's an on-board HID driver from Windows, no third-party drivers are needed here.

And no, not all USB cables work. It needs to be able to transfer data - there are cables which only have power wires, but no data wires. Those will not work.

That must be the problem is the cable. I'll test again when I "know" I have a data cable because I'm an IT guy and I've explored every possible windows route and the system simply doesn't recognize a device being added. So thanks for the tips though.
