My saber says the sound font and the aux switch works however when I try to press the main switch it doesn't turn on and no sound is made. Also the led on the main switch is quite dim. I'm using a 15 ohm resistor with a 3.7v battery. The switch runs at 3v and 20mA. My best guess is the resistance is wrong. If anybody has any idea I'd appreciate the help.

Resistance is most likely too high.
What color led is the switch?
What soundboard are you using? And are you able to swap the switches in the configuration

the color is white and im using a proffieboard 2.2. I could swap them in the config but why would that help?

GG @empty crest, you just advanced to level 1!

Well to determine if your switch/wiring to the main is bad if your aux is working as intended
With regard to the led. 15 is actually pretty much right on. I thought it was quite high but that was thinking it was connected to the 3.3 pad. Do you have the negative for the led hooked to gnd or an led pad?

The switch is connected to the 3.3v, I don't know where else I would connect it. I have the negative hooked to the Battery - pad not the ground pad next to it
ok so switching the aux and main in the config showed that the main switch simply isn't working. I'll go in and redo all of the solder joints but besides that do you have any ideas

Usually that should take care of it. So if you are running the white led off the 3.3 pad you might not need the resistor at all.
