Hey there, long time no see eh? :rolleyes:
Anyway, I am currently finishing up a project for someone, and I am having a hard time getting the sensitivity set for it.
Now before I start, I do realize that the CF is designed to rest as near the pommel as possible. However, due to the design of the saber, and making things accessible, I have to put the CF "In hand" (Grip area) . This is because wiring and the recharge port do not allow for a lot of room, and the easiest way to get the board to sit solidly in the hilt is to use the Stock MR housing for the Luke ROTJ FX to hold the board and switches into place.
As you probably have guessed this is an MR ROTJ that is being converted to a V2 using the TCSS kit, CF 2.63, 2X Lc14500 Ultrafire LI-ions, Recharge port (Under cone knob) and a Premium speaker.
The main issue was the recharge port getting in the way of the board.
I wanted to make it accessible as possible, but I also wanted to make sure that everything was secure, and safe from shorting out.
The way I fixed the first set of issues, was to trim the legs of the recharge port tabs down a little, solder the wiring perpendicular to the port, and then wax potting them to ensure that nothing can ground out. This left me plenty of room for the small battery pack, and enough room to run the switch wiring back from the CF and out to the clamp ends.
However, The saber is either too sensitive, or not enough on the swings.
Now, I have this set up so that once the sound fonts are loaded and configured, that's it... The saber is pretty much going to stay that way. I also did this so that If the new owner wanted to change the settings, they could, but it would require a partial tear down, hence making the usage of quick disconnect wiring a Must.
My question is: Does anyone have any advice on getting the sensitivity settings a little more accurate with the board higher n the hilt than recommended? It doesn't have to be perfect, but close...
