I love the shroud design and looks like a pretty solid job cutting it out too. I look forward to seeing how this progresses. ;)

Is that 1" pipe you are making the main hilt out of?

Thanks. I'm going to guess the first switch I tried is fine too as I also had the resistor backwards on that one. So I have an extra red switch and resistor for future upgrades. :cool:

Thank you so much for that information. Turns out I did have the resistor backwards and the AV switch is now working normally. If this site had reputation points I would give you some. Since it...

I didn't know that. I'll have to pull the switch out and check when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion. It would be nice if it could be something that simple.

I already have everything installed in my saber so I'm just going to go with it as is. The sound and LED work properly so that is the important thing. I will keep that in mind for any future builds...

I had a similar problem when I tried to make a couple of boot sounds. I changed the settings to 16 bit and 22050 in the dropbox box and they wouldn't work. I later realized there was another box...

I wasn't sure how to check it since the posts are covered in heat shrink but it just occurred to me I could strip the wire and try that.

I'm not really sure what's going on with these red...

I didn't think of that. I'll give it a try when I get home.

Thanks again. Your input is most appreciated. :cool:

Okay, thanks. I guess I'll order another switch and resistor and see what happens.
One more quick question. The resistors all come with attached wires longer than I need them to be. It doesn't...

Yes, sir. That was on a full charge. Maybe the switch just had a bad LED? It worked fine up until last night when it stopped coming on at all. Is it normal for the LED to be somewhat dim? When I...

I got everything wired up and it all worked perfectly during several tests but I fired it up tonight and the light on the AV switch didn't illuminate. The light was a little bit dim but it still...

Thanks guys, and sorry for the total newb question. I got it all wired up and working great. :cool:
Just need the chargers to get back in stock so I can make sure that part works..

Sorry for the newbish question, but I haven't found anything that helps me.

I am trying to wire an illuminated AV switch, something I haven't done before. I did connect the DynaOhm resistor to...

You are correct on both counts. At some point I will be upgrading a couple of stunt sabers to sound.
Thanks. :cool:

Yep, no problems as far as the store having what I need. Just wanted to get clarification on which calculation method was best to use. I figured doing the math was probably better, but there was...

Need a little resistor help here. I am using both the resistor calculator and the manual calculation and coming up with different values on both LED's. This would be an NB v2 with 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion...

I love the leather wrap/stitching and gold accents. The leather work is simply beautiful, as is the entire saber.

This looks really good! Nice clean job and smooth lines, I am a fan of the leather wrap, the crystal chamber is fantastic and I like how the blade holder curves in. Great looking blade plug too.

Thanks for the advice. In hindsight it seems rather obvious, I was just focusing on trying to not fry the board with my soldering and not thinking about the wire. Anyway, I am going to redo the...

Pics of the board and speaker. Should I be using heat shrink on the speaker connections? It seemed strange that it worked before I heat shrinked the re-soldered connection.
I didn't touch the...

So I did my first soundboard install the other night. Everything worked fine until one of the wires connected to the speaker came loose and the negative LED wire. I resoldered them back on and...

I wondered if that was the case but really wasn't sure. Thank you much! :D

I ordered and received the parts but am a bit confused on the witch.

I got this one, http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/SPST-Momentary-switch-with-black-button-P43.aspx and I don't see an...

Thanks again. :)
