Thank you, I neglected each individual component's wiring prongs and pads (save the board) just to simplify the diagram
After having taken everyone's helpful advice, I made a new wiring diagram; this time, with a recharge port and rechargeable 18650 li-ion. Feedback would be greatly appreciated, as always.

haha yeah, thank you for verifying.
Having watched Rob Petkau's very helpful video on how to build a basic saber with sound, and having read the owner's manual for the Nano Biscotte Sound Module V2, I sketched up a wiring guide that I...
I suppose while I'm in the lightsaber mood tonight, I am looking to get a little help with wiring my AV illuminated switch. Now, I plan on neglecting the LED prongs as I just want to avoid any sort...
So I've been hearing. Very hesitant to even use them.
Hey back.
I've decided to run either AAAs or the 7.4v li-ion, since those packs will fit in my saber just fine without compromising the design. Any idea on about how long AAAs would last me? I'm...

My noob mistake, this makes things much easier for me.
Oh hey one more thing, is it possible to wire any 16mm latching switch from TCSS (with rings or dots), while neglecting the LED prongs and only soldering the wires to the switch prongs?
Hope so, and thank you.
I have noticed that there were no 16mm anti vandal latching switches at TCSS without a colored ring or dot. Having looked at all the 16mm anti-vandal latching switches that TCSS has in its store, I...
Thank you very much
I am currently designing a saber and I have two questions I can't seem to find on this forum.
1. Where is the best placement for the retention screw on the blade holder seen below? (style 23) The...
