Thread: AV LED Switch and kill key (no soundboard)

    Default AV LED Switch and kill key (no soundboard)

    Hi all.
    I'm preparing my first lightsaber, for the moment I will not install any soundboards but I would put a AV LED switch and the kill key.
    I chose these components:
    - 16mm Anti Vandal Latching Blue Ring Switch ( http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16...itch-P705.aspx )
    - 2.1mm Power Jack ( http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/21...-Jack-P37.aspx )
    - Kill plug style 4 ( http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Ki...le-4-P783.aspx )

    The problem is to connect the AV switch with the recharge port, so when the kill key is in the switch's LED is off.....and when I remove the kill key the LED turns on; once LED is on, I can turn on/off the blade.
    In this forum I found some wirings but I'm not sure it will work.




    Thanks in advance

    Yes, it looks right to me as well.

    Actually, that looks to me to have the recharge port wiring on the wrong tabs. The battery negative should be on the tab that you have going out to the led -. The main led + and the switch led + should be on the port's tab where the battery ground in located in the drawing. The led grounds should be on the tab where the positives are currently shown, since that's the switchable tab in the recharge port.
