Aright. I'll try that.
Thanks SS.

I got nuthin'.

I can't get the fine wire solder to connect the pins to the board. It just beads up into tiny bearings and if I'm lucky they form a connection between the pin and the ring...
...okay, well that works now.
Thank you!
Now, on to the Switch-so-it's-on-only-when-lit-part...what wire do I splice in and where? Am I wiring the red wire that was in the board into the red...
Okay, here's what I've got...

You may be correct. Who knows?
We'll see...
My other problem might be I've got a MWS NB adapter just sitting on the NB board. I haven't soldered it into place yet, and was there just to test the electrics.
Maybe there really isn't a...
Tried all the steps you mentioned, still couldn't get the saber to fire up.
I'm terrified I fried the blade LED, because I thought it lit blue for a milisecond, and then nothing. But the AV...
Okay, does this look right for the recharge port?

I think I get what you're saying about the AV switch, I just can't wrap my mind around how it's supposed to get wired up.
How do I wire...
I got my parts!
*looks at them all*
...huh...okay, so based on your recommendations here, I've hit a snag...
I don't know where the recharge port fits into all this, nor where the resistor...
Well, parts ordered!
I got a Kill-Key anyway because hey; what's $5 more bucks on top of all this. I also added that c-clip thing that holds the pommel insert in place. I think I need one of...
Ugh. There goes my idea of tucking the recharge port in the wiring inside hilt, and only pulling it out when I want to recharge the blade. Guess I'll get the pommel insert with a hole for the...
Folks, I'm a little confused on something.
If I have a recharge port, do I need a Kill Key? What's a kill-key for anyway?
Ah, gotcha! Thanks, Xev!
So adjust the setting on the NB for the blade, and still sodder in a resistor for the yellow AV switch?
You have failed me for the last time!
*extends hand*
Blade Color is blue.
What is this "slight tweak of the "drive" setting" you mention? Something in the NB?
I don't think space will be too much of an issue; I think I've got some real-estate to spare between the activator switch and the blade holder. And I do like your comment about "extended battery...
Progress! And parts acquired! I've been picking up parts over the past few months, as money allows. I'm almost ready to get the next round of parts, but I want to double check and see what I'm...
Hey folks!
How durable is the powdercoating? I don't mean "can it take repeated strikes while dueling?" I mean just for general use and wear and tear. I'm thinking I want to powdercoat my...
Merry Christmas folks!
=D
Looking inside the other hilt (the one with sound), it looks like it's using a short AV switch. It's only coming in about half way thought the hilt, and I think I only see 4 wire-up points. The...
Aright, I'll give that a go then!
Thanks!
BTW, another person said I should use a standard AV switch instead of a short AV switch, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. Any different...
I wasn't going to use a box, because the other hilt doesn't have one. I'm trying to mirror the two hilts as best I can. I was going to use a switch and a long bezel.
Okay, that brings upa GREAT follow-up question.
How the heck do you use the nut that comes with the AV switch? How are you able to get it threaded and spin into position when it's several inches...
My apologies for not being clear; I'm replacing the current switch with an AV switch. I'm ALSO adding a 5mm yellow LED to the pommel with one of the pommel disks to illuminate a crystal that I'm...
Let's try this...

Good Afternoon, sabersmiths and wire-masters.
Are there any threads out there for tips in "Cram-Fu: the Art of Putting All THIS in HERE".
