South-Paw Jinn's First saber: Callandor! PC 2.0, Tri-Rebel, Charge Port and R.I.C.E.

Jay-gon Jinn, you are right I wanted the LED on the switch to come on when I pull the kill key I hope that I wired it right. Is it possible to use cat5 cable to wire this up, I have of this wire than I know what to do with. Also with the resistors I see that The saber Shop does not have the exact ones I need, so with in mind do I pick and choose the resistors that equal what I need and solder them in series? I have been doing all the math for the resistors with the battery voltage is the math right or do I need the use the voltage the board puts out?

In the PC manual, there's a section titled, "Wiring a general Power-On Indicator / Accent LED" that shows you how to do this. There's a 3.3v pad for the positive lead on your LED, and the negative goes back to the main negative power.

As for resistors, if they're all of the appropriate wattage, you can wire them in series and add up the ohm values. It'll take up more room, but it does work.

PCv3.5 wiring diagram v3.jpg Version 3 with the revamp suggested by Silver Serpent. I moved the LED from the main positive to the accent LED and the ground the the main ground. I also changed the resistor to the appropriate ohms. If this passes the Jedi council, than I will start a new thread for the build and pictures. Thanks for all the input.

Wiring looks correct, though you should drop the resistor for the primary LED die, as it will be controlled by the LED driver onboard.

It also looks as though you've got the red LED and blue LED resistors swapped.

PCv3.5 wiring diagram v4.jpg I think this is the one. Thanks again for the help.

I see no issues.
