Thread: Wiring diagram check for NB, recharge port, illuminated AV switch, and accent led

  1. #1

    Default Wiring diagram check for NB, recharge port, illuminated AV switch, and accent led

    Can someone check my wiring diagram for my next saber. I'm trying to have the AV light up with power to the board (kill key removed) and the accent led light up with blade activation (crystal chamber). Sorry for the quality of the diagram. Hopefully it's legible.

    Nano Biscotte
    Red Seoul P4
    Red Dot AV Switch (momentary)
    5 mm Red Accent LED
    Single Li-Ion 18500 3.7V

    Looks right to me.

    If you don't know your resistor values, http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz is my personal favorite resistor calculator.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    I've got the resistors already. Thanks for checking the diagram. Wanted to be sure before testing the circuit.

    Please let me know if it works because this is awesome. Easy to follow diagram. Thank you very much!

    Yeah, very clear drawing! I will actually be stealing this, removing the "accent LED" and its resistor; because it is exactly what I was hunting for a few weeks back. Thanks!

    I'm waiting on a new soldering iron to arrive and I'll wire it up. I'll let you know if it works.

    It worked as I originally drew it, but not like I wanted. I had to make an adjustment to the negative wire to the accent led. In the original setup it was lighting up when the kill key was removed. I wanted it to light up with activation since it'll be in the crystal chamber. The image above has the fix included. This one works like I intended. Removing the kill key lights up the led in the AV switch. Activation lights up the main led and the accent led. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the check silver serpent.

    Also, I noticed that the forum rules say that Tim would like to check these diagrams before they're posted. So this thread might get moved. I would move it but I'm not sure how or even if I can. Either way, Tim has not approved this diagram.

    I'm glad to see you got it working the way you want it to. Good job.

    I finished the saber that this diagram was made for: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...-Recharge-Port

    Works great!
