Feather-Wing Propmaker won't turn on unless plugged into PC

Post by newpaen »

Hello!

So I built a fun wizard staff months ago and had fun coding it (via trial by error, because I'm still a beginner!). I modified the Burning Wizard Staff code.

It works like I want it to.... after it is turned on. Currently it needs to be plugged into a USB to a computer to turn on. Yes the battery is charged. I also tried to plug it in just to a USB power bank and that didn't work either.

I have no idea where to look on this code to try to fix the problem, so I've just attached the whole shabang. Help please!

Thanks - K

What happens if you comment out the print statement?

Heh. I probably did it very wrong, lol. It doesn't work at all now.

I'm going to try to get it back to how it was before! I'm rebuilding the staff using the lightsaber kit, so maybe that code will work better.
