View Full Version : New to the forum -- hoping to get a wiring check

Hello all --

I built my son a sparring saber when he was 6 years old -- he is now 16 years old and the saber is finally having some problems. After 10 years, I decided to do a little research on the new technology and upgrade his sparring saber to a sound saber with the help of the new Hasboro toy saber sound card. I have also decided that my new padawan learner (my other son who is now 6 years old) should also enjoy the experience of having his own custom saber, so I put together this wiring schematic for the planned build. So as you can see, I am new to this forum, but I have had some experience with this hobby. I was hoping some of the good people subscribed to this forum would be kind enough to perform a sanity check on the attached wiring schematic.

My main question has to do with the ability to power the 16mm AV Led using the 3.3V output from the NBv2. I'm not confident that what I have drawn up will work. I think everything else will work ok. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Welcome to the forums.

Diagram is too small to read. It's probably just exceeding the attachment size. Try uploading it to an image hosting website and linking it to your post.

Any chance that someone could verify my schematic? I would really appreciate the assistance. Thanks in advance

I see no issues with your diagram.

Looks good to me. Why so many connectors though?

Because he has not yet learned how much space those JSTs take up inside a hilt. ;)

Indeed I have not --- it is quite possible I will have to rethink my strategy. Much thanks to all for verifying my electrical layout -- I appreciate it.

When connected they take up about 0.933 x 0.27 x 0.15" each.

They're easy enough to cut out of your saber if you find they won't all fit inside.
