I plugged the USB cord into the correct port for the soundboard and into the computer, turned the saber on, and opened the launcher. I hit "Auto Connect" and it says this: "Device disconnected. Auto-connection enabled. Check if the board is powered by the battery pack, turned on and connected to your computer. If it still can't connect, try to unplug and replug the USB cable and/or restart the board."
Now, I can connect to the Emerald color portion of the saber just fine, but I'm not sure what is going on with the Obsidian board (I have V4 because it's an Emerald one). I should also mention that I haven't fully charged the batteries yet, which I am going to do, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem. I've also have the latest Launcher and have tried running it in Admin mode.
I am honestly stumped here. Any help would be appreciated.
See highlighted above. You did it in the wrong order. The saber MUST be turned on BEFORE you plug it into the computer. I'm honestly surprised the Emerald worked if you did it in that order for the Emerald connection.
Having the batteries fully charged will help, if for no other reason than the saber won't turn off in the middle of you changing settings, which is never a good thing.
Unrelated, you need to update your signature.
