Well... that diagram is not Tim's. That's Corbin's so it isn't the same module. That is drawn for the Anakin/Vader board.

The Luke is actually simpler. It has seperate switch leads, battery, and speaker leads. Knowing that you can follow the basics of that one. Switch leads go exactly the same (there is an alternate for a SPDT).

The speaker leads are seperate... no need to splice it into the power. Battery leads are just split in a "y" to power both.

***The alternate for the SPDT is like the hasbro diagram here:

The left pigtail goes to that spot shown. The center pigtail MUST be the ground wire of the switch on the sound board (the board will have it labeled). The right pigtail goes to the remaining switch lead on the sound.

I can draw this up, but I don't wanna if I don't have to. :P

Whatever... since you seem to have alzheimer's at 12 I made this up:

I must put a disclaimer! I'm not sure if that switch wire is truely a common ground. In fact if you have a SPST on/off don't bother just wire them in a "y" or use a DPDT like in the anakin one you initially posted.

I'm also assuming the yellow and orange are the shock sensor wiring based on where they terminate. There's a ton of glue on my luke board and I didn't want to take it off just yet. Since it's not part of the blade wiring I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about frying Corbin's board like the Anakin does, but I'd use a multimeter to check it first anyway.

I may be wrong but I dont think you can use the shock sensor due to the way it is wired to activate corbins flash. I am pretty sure I tried it once before.

Perhaps... I know he said the Anakin/Vaders fried his board. That's why I put a disclaimer. I'd check it before I hooked it up that way.

If not... it's pretty easy to hook a second one up.
