You don't need a buckpuck if you're using a NB.

When the problem makes no sense go back to the basics. Thanks for noticing that cause i didnt. Swapped wires around and everything works great!
I will post a reveal of the saber in the next few...

Yes, the NB turns on and works fine. If i hit activation switch i get main led on and sound effects.

One pic shows wired with NB3 and the other is just through recharge port (2 accent leds, you can only see 1).

But the leds turn on when i apply power. They wont turn on once the sound card comes into the mix it seems.

But I also removed the 3.3v pad from the equation and it still doesn't work. Here is a diagram of how I tried to take the pad out. Shouldnt this diagram work (forgot to add dyno-ohm resistor on...

Using the following:
Nano Biscotte v3
18650B LI-ION BATTERY 3400mAh 3.7v
Recharge port
2x Amber Accent LEDs (Forward Voltage: 2.8 ~ 3.0v / Forward Current: 20mA each) with a Dyna_Ohm resistor...

Thats sick! Great job

Thanks guys. I had lined up stuff too but wanted a little extra "just in case". Turned out to be too much extra. lol

So I successfully built my first saber (haven't posted it on here yet). I have way too much wire though as its all crammed inside the hilt. How do you guys estimate the length of wire while you're...

Nice work

Really neat, I was contemplating a pink blade today for someone. What do you mean youre running the LED @ 700ma, how are you doing that?

Not much help but cool design.

This saber came out great!

Lots of things have changed since I originally posted this. Thanks for the help that I did receive though!

Ok, so my plan now is to
Add kill key
Dump the buckpuck
Wire LED to board using existing wires/connection
Wire switch to soundboard as before
Route 1 JST plug from recharge to battery (just...

I saw another diagram around here that had a buckpuck running the led instead of the soundboard, thats why I designed mine like that. I thought the buckpuck was gonna make the led brighter than the...

I had not planned on a kill key.
This wiring has my brain fried. I can find diagrams on here for buckpuck, or recharge port, or hasbro card. I havent found one yet that has everything i am using...

Disregard. Post removed after some discussion, change in electronics direction and more research.

Thanks!
