Momentary vs. latching switch???
Well, I did a lot of reading and research the last couple of weeks. I have decided that apart from buying some sabers, I want to make one on my own. What I am really struggling with is the right choice of switch. For some reason I am not getting the difference between a momentary and latching switch right. Maybe it is a language barrier (me beeing German). Could somebody help me or show me a thread where it is explained.
From what I understand is, that you need to use a momentary switch for most soundboards. Can I use a momentary switch without a soundboard, too? Or do I need to take a latching switch then?

you will need a latching switch to turn the power to the led on unless you want to always hold the button
some soundboards take a mom switch like the 2010 hasbro board
mr boards require a latching switch
hope that helps

Thank you for the help.
OK, let's see if I got this right.
No soundboard = latching switch
MR soundboard = latching switch
2010 Hasbro board = momentary switch
What about Ultrasound, PC and CF?
And what if I use a Buck Puck / driver?

A buck puck would need a latching switch.
Unless things have changed with the newer versions of CF (later than version 3) you can use either latching or momentary switches for the main power up/down switch as it's configurable in a file stored on the memory card.The aux switch should be momentary.
