OK. I have all the parts I need to make my dream saber (or something like that) but I'm having trouble organizing all the stuff I need to do. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
OK First of all my parts:
2008 Darth Maul Hasbro FX Sound Board
Illuminated Latching Switch (Not from TCSS) (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/image/8730/ele-370_4.jpg/ele-402/Red_Illuminated_Bulgin_Style_Latching_Vandal_Switc h_-_16mm_-_Silver_Housing_-_Ring_Illumination.html)
Red Luxeon III Star LED
4 AAA Battery Pack
Alright this is the part I can't quite seem to get fully organized in my head... I need to wire my switch LED in parallel to the rest of it, but I will be wiring the rest in a standard Switch->Soundboard->LED setting? I will have a resistor set up for the Switch LED, and then for the regular LED on the other side of the parallel, but do I need one for the sound card? Finally, How do I wire my switch properly to make the LED go ON/OFF with the whole saber?
I know this is a lot but I feel like every time I almost figure it out I lose whatever answer I had, and re-reading tutorials isn't helping anymore.
Thanks!!
