Yes, on a single speaker this small, polarity doesn't really matter.

so if you are using an alluminated switch you would need to run the led in the switch to the accent led pad?

That depends. There is a 3.3V pad that you can use to light your illuminated switch when the kill key is pulled from the recharge port. Or, you can use one of the accent pads, which could make it 'pulse' when the board is idle, and then be configurable to either flicker or be steady on when the saber is 'on'. It depends what you want it to do. Take some time while you wait for the parts from TCSS to arrive and read the entire PC-L user guide.

cool it should be here this thursday just gotta print the manual

Thank you all for the answers! Well, the saber is already build and it is fully working... But it uses a guarded style switch (this was the first time I used a PC-L so I decided to begin with a basic setup). I also took a lot of photos during the building, so I'll post a thread into the A to Z building section
I'm now planning a saber that will use an illuminated AV switch with a PVC chassis in Madcow style This will probably use a Red LED... My first sith saber!

Does the battery pack need anything extra to regulate it recharging or does the PC-L take care of all that?

[Silver Serpent]

Li-ion battery packs will still need an appropriate PCB such as http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/PC...acks-P482.aspx

The PC-L doesn't regulate recharging.

Hmm, ok.

I bought some batteries that say they are protected "TrustFire 18650 2500mAh Li-ion Protected Battery
Sealed Pack of 2 Batteries" do you think this will be sufficient? or will I still need to put a PCB in the sabre?

Thanks in advance.

[beggarsoutpost]

Yes that will be fine as long as you pre-charge the batteries before you build your pack...

No, actually you will not need a protection pcb with batteries that are already protected.
