Hi Hat Probs

[GarBtz]

Hey Everybody,

New guy here with s/n 00774.
I've had this set for a few years, and I've had to patch up a few things.
Currently it's the HiHat. I have relocated the Hall element board to the base of the HiHat stand,
and jury rigged a Goedrums hihat. I can get it to trigger with the piezo, and I can get it to cal with a strategically placed magnet, but I can't get a closed Hat sound. How can I confirm that the module is working?

Basically - if it calibrates then its working. If you dont get a closed sound then the magnet is too far from the board, and in that case I don't know how you managed to calibrate it. Can you explain a bit better what you did, and how its rigged? A picture would be cool too.

I bet on damaged hall . Search the forum for it ;-)

[Coda]

If that was the case, I don't think he would be able to calibrate?

[nocturnodrummer]

Oh, sorry. I was too quick to judge and didnt read carefully. Maybe the board came loose inside the cymbal and when it moves around, the hall sensor cant get the full range.

[Coda]

He's relocated the board to under the hi-hat stand. Do you need a cup of coffee? 

[nocturnodrummer]

Well, no comment.. I was at work concentrated on other stuff and tried to do some good. But all in vain.

LOL no worries, I'm sure it's appreciated you tried/wanted to help.

Thanks for the input.

Rookie mistake.
First rule of troubleshooting.
Load your firmware into the editor and make sure the sounds work.
I had a corrupt .dkit file.

You need coffee too.
