Hello, Guys.
I am new to saber building, and have only been a member of the forums for a few weeks.
Firstly, want to say thank you to all the members who generously share the knowledge and expertise so that people like me may learn a little something.
As instructed I have spent the last few weeks just reading the boards and trying to get familiar with the terminology and technology. The guidance on the forums has been a tremendous help.
I have a long way to go, but what looked like a foreign language at first, seems to be getting a little clearer.. I think. Maybe I should ask my question first.
I decided to start with something more suited for a beginner. So I purchased the Petit Crouton 2.0 pre wired.
As you know this unit has the Activation switch and Aux. switch pre wired with JST connectors.. as well as the accent LED pads(pre wired/JST connectors)
I will be using a Dual momentary switch setup(as pictured) with LED accent ring. I want to wire the LED terminals(+/-) on the Momentary switch using a JST connector and then plug that into the JST that's pre-wired in the LED accent pads(on the PC2.0).
The forward voltage for the boards is 3.3v .. The Momentary switch is 2.0v and 20 ohms. According to the calculator I need a resistor that is 68 ohms 1/8w. to solder inline on the positive side of the LED wiring(correct?)
From the store I purchased 2 x 20mA DynaOhm™ Variable Resistors .. and also 2 x 82 ohm 1/4w resistors. Which would be best to use?
I have included a few pictures in an effort to illustrate what I have in mind. I know that I will need to wire each switch, but for clarity the diagram just shows one.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, corrections or alternate direction if you know of a more efficient way.
Thank you again.
