Thread: parksaber add sound board / convert w. sound

  1. #1

    Question parksaber add sound board / convert w. sound

    Hi & Hello forum from germany!

    I am new to this forum and I start (as usual) with a question...
    and I apologize for my poor english :-/

    I bought (did get it yet) a parksaber with the following specs I know:
    - LED-Strip technic (red)
    - blade up / down effect
    - flickr effect
    - 3V 1600mAh battery

    Now I want to add low-budget sound solution, f.e. the Haspro sound board.
    Is there a better "cheap" sound board option?

    I couldnt find any tutorials about this issue.
    Can anyone help and give sme advice?

    Thx a lot

    at the moment the hasbro 2010 with dvd toy sabers are the cheap soundboard alternatives

    here is a link to the thread telling you how to hook it up

    Well firstly it depends on which parksaber you got.
    I can't tell if you are wanting to convert it with the LED Strip, or with a Luxeon LED.

    Some of the hilts would require some machining to be able to fit everything in.

    Talking Disconnected / unattached / standalone sound board

    Damn ! You guys are fast responding!!! Thanks!

    For you experts maybe a blasphemous thought:
    Why not put a sound board complete disconnected from the build in LED circle as standalone electric component in the hilt?

    I just thought that I can get around all this volt/ampere/resistors and converting problems between the build in circuit and the sound board.

    The only point of connecting the sound board and the light "board" would be the default switch... if they use the same voltage and/or ampere.

    So press switch = start sound board && start LED !?

    Is that to simple & stupid?

    Thx for helping me out.

    You can use a single DPDT switch to activate both boards simultaneously. The cheapy Hasbro board uses a momentary switch, so your Parksaber would need to use a momentary switch as well. If one uses a latching and the other uses a momentary, things would get a little more complicated.

    Not impossible, just complicated

    Yes I realise that, what I mean is do you want to KEEP it? Or put an LED like most of us use here?

    I fear that you may just be planning to put in a soundboard and leaving it at that. This will probably not work as most parksabers do not have enough room, let alone enough for a speaker.

    Default Parksaber / LED-Strip / momentary button and Haspro sound board

    Ahh ok... now I understand your point!

    Yes you're right. I want to keep the LED-Strip (for now) and add a sound board.

    I think all of the parksabers have a momentary push-button.

    I guess I understood that I have to use
    - a sb with momentary switch
    - a voltage regulator and/or transistors!?

    Regardless of the "enough room"-problem, can I then combine a sound card -lets say the cheap haspro 2010- with a saber, driven by a 3.0 volt accumulator?

    Sorry for beeing such a n00b

    Post Parksabers Graflex Star Wars Darth Vader ROTJ Deluxe

    I will get the Star Wars Darth Vader ROTJ Deluxe (s. attached pics)
    - machined Aluminum
    - with removable 36" long blade (phase)
    - red light, LED-Strip (w. 96 LEDs?)
    - function: lights up, down, phase/flicker
    - no sound
    - i read somewhere, because of the small camera accu. battery - CR123 there should enough room for a sound module ...?
