The way you wired this is almost exactly how I plan on wiring mine, and you used all those JST connectors like I was hoping I would be able to do. Did you have issues fitting it all inside the hilt...
Good luck man!
Hey thanks man I really do appreciate it, and yeah these guys are great help couldn't do it without them!
Awesome! Thank you and fjk so much you two have been so helpful it's so greatly appreciated!
Alright got another drawing up, how's this look?

Awesome so I'll get back and make some changes on this drawing and ill post what I have tonight! I think with what you just gave me, I'm good to go, but we will see!
Edit: the nb manual says the...
Sorry yes pre wired and okay so both ends of the switch go to the board then I'll fix that. The soundboard needs a momentary right?
Also, I think I just realized what you guys are trying to tell...
Oh so I shouldn't wire the switch to the main led, I should wire both Jsts to the board, and then the led to the board as well. Do I need a resistor for the AV switch like I did for before I got the...
Okay wait so should that jst I have hooked up to the switch spot for the nb be hooked up to the jst for the led?

I know I'm missing something someone help me figure out what it is! I tried to make the drawing as close to scale as...
okay so I will post this really messy drawing as soon as I can find somewhere to scan it, but I before I do I think I am not seeing where one of these JST's will go from the pre-wired NB.
I have...
Would a 1 ohm 2w resistor work? Or would I have to go looking somewhere other than TCSS for a resistor? Because I don't see a 1ohm 1w resistor in the shop.
Hey thank you! I didn't know exactly what one of the values were so I clicked on the help thing and used 2.1 for what the site gave me haha.
Oh and that's cool I will have to order two pairs of...
Sorry for the double post but I wanted to ensure that people saw I had more questions... Haha otherwise I would have just edited the post above.
So what I want to do right now is throw a list of...
Haha that's exactly what I was planning on doing right now, I was going to post some graph paper drawings tomorrow or later tonight to hopefully get some more help or suggestions from you guys......
I have read in a few threads that those jst connectors fill up space in the hilt fairly quickly, would that be much of an issue for me if I'm just getting the NB soundboard?
Also, I understand...
How good/bad of an idea is it to buy everything from TCSS pre-wired? Realistically speaking, how much soldering can I -not- do, next time I go to build a saber? If/When I give it another go I kinda...
I'll start watching more soldering videos then! I appreciate all the help and encouragement and stuff I really want to keep at it, it was just a sort of rude awakening haha I guess I had it coming to...
Guess I'll have to get better at it then... Better at soldering all around. Actually how do you sugges I just practice soldering? Buy wire cut it apart and then just practice soldering it back...
Haha too true I suppose. Sucks that as soon as I finished I just wanted to gut the whole thing and start over again though... I have a question, how are you supposed to solder wires to that led...
Okay so I got the parts and did my best at putting the saber together.. The led for the switch broke cuz I suck really really bad at soldering... But I got the main led to work so I guess that was...
oh okay well I have a regular drill as well, but no drill press. Hopefully its good enough!
Awesome I'll add the tap handle to the cart too then so that I just get everything at one time.
I...
Sweet! So then that should be everything? I can't think of anything else but that's because I've never done this before!
So this is it then I'm ready to get it all and go!
Oh will a dremel...
Okay cool so I will stick to individual resistors for this one then.
If the hilt already comes with the recessed AV switch hole as an option, I do need to select that service and put it in my...
Wow thank you all for responding so quickly!
Okay so I added the resistor for the main LED, I have another question though what the heck is a buck puck? Is it like a resistor for every thing? So...
