Hi there good people!
I was hoping you wouldn't mind having a look over a wiring diagram for the next saber I'm going to build. I'm optimistic everything I want to do is possible and that I'm not going to make anything go pop, but it def. needs a checkup :D
Parts List
--------------
2x 3.6v Li-Ion
Recharge Port
2x DPDT Illuminated Switches
Seoul P4 HPLED
LED Indicator
Petit Crouton Sound Module
Premium Speaker
Multiple Resistors
Wire Connectors/Micros/etc
Wiring Diagram
------------------------
5018
Plan Overview
-----------------------
Ok, so the plan starts out using the red AV as a kill switch. In it's off position power to the sound board will be off, but the recharge circuit will be open so recharging can only happen when power is off to the rest of the components. The illuminated LED will be spliced into the positive of the sound board power supply so it's lit only when the board has power, resistor on the negative.
The green AV switch will light up the blade and speaker, off state to nothing. The red indicator LED will be wired to the power on LED ports, which I'll also splice into for the AV illumination, both with resistors on the negative. I'm guessing/hoping the power on LED will output enough for both?
Speaker is wired normally, as is the high power blade LED. My question here is: do I need that LED resistor on the negative or does the board handle power flow along with flicker etc? I've read the manual but that wasn't clear.
The blue crossing lines are wire connectors.
Last question: are those two 3.6V batteries enough power for everything or will I have to go with a larger variety?
Thanks for your help!
