I know, just mentioning that for information's sake
For total safety I'd put some electrical tape either on the back plate on the transistor or the board itself.

Hot glue is a safe non conductive material. That is what I recommended you insulate the heatsink with should it be connected to a hot lead.
Got a Question? There's a thread for that...

I'm trying to figure out how you would fit 2 swing sensors on that board and I can't quite see it... Does anyone have a pic of this setup?
Good call, Tanimal... I'd like to see it as well!
Remember, your LED will ALWAYS look brighter in pics and vids... If you're not playing with it at night, it's not gonna impress you...
I am getting another couple boards in a few days and I'll post a pic or two of how to wire it up and mount it.
Unless someone else wants to post before me.

My solution. And also a very neat and compact way to install this board inside a saber. Credit for everything except the swing sensor setup goes to the magnificent Ryhen Skytracker.

That is an excellent set up. Had never even thought of that. Saves some room in the saber. Great idea!!
Agreed, an excellent space saver as well. Nice work.
I realize this thread hasn't generated any new posts for a while, but I had a question concerning the dual-swing sensor setup. Unless I'm seeing something wrong, the picture and video in this thread seem to be presenting two different wiring schemes. Which of these two would be the correct setup? Thanks in advance...
