No no, I mean in between the button and anything else. Tim said that the switches have changed and that they don't have an internal resistor any more. I really don't wont to blow out the led in the switch.
Just to make life more complicated, how small of a main body piece could I fit this into? I don't intend to add any boards or drivers to it later, I'm actually just designing this one as a shoto blade, her sister will be the bigger of the two, with room with a good sound board once I am more experienced. Ideally I would like to get all of this into a 5" or 6" blade extension piece (and obviously get the illuminated switch hole service).

ok then i think im not the one to ask as i havent used the new switch(not sure anyone has, it was just released today) BUT i promise you that your question will be answered very soon.. give the mastersmiths a few days and it'll come up in a major thread... i see this question comming up alot very soon :) and even ill be watching for it :P
if i hear it throught the grapevine ill send you the link

*edit* wow tim way to draw and type it out while im typing my response... now thats force control,,,lol

Gosh, Tim, that is a messy MSPaint job! ;)
Thank you though, you've been super helpful! How long untill some one pops up and argues a diffrent wireing set up?
I'll add that resistor to my wish list (so I can keep track of what I am getting).
Do you think all of this can fit inside a 5" or 6" body?

Easily
Well..maybe not that easily if all you plan to use is one pommel, 5" hilt section, and a blade holder.
-
id sat definatly 6 but it depends on how far exposed your blade holder is extended... figure your batter pack is about 3.5".. yoou can use the switch body to kinda hold it from jumping upwards while you swing wildly in glee the blade holder is also about 3.5" so if its exposed about say 1.5"..you got a niftly 1" free space to fit the puck.. so you'll be fine if you go about 6-7 id say
-
I was planning on going for a main body of 5-6" and pomel style 4 and blade holder 13. Which would give me a 7.5" over all hilt.
-
Even though it won't ad internal space a choke is always good...if you want it.
-
i just looked that up.. that will be a very clean looking saber.. you draw it out yet? grips and switch placement.. choose you blade(length/type.. btw its much cheaper to make your own blade and tim sells all the parts)... although all that may actually need a new thread :P so instead i say good luck i cant wait to see your next thread ;)

Mm, yea, I drew them up, they aren't at all to scale but they are in my user album. They are suposed to appear in my signature but they have disapeard, I'll try to get them back. And yes, they are spotted!
Once I get my peices, I will start a thread and take lots of pictures, I want to add to the comunnity, not just take a way! I've decided to build the shoto saber with an Cyan III instead.
