having a little snag

[garymorris]

I bought a mws buckpuck, the green luxeon rebal star and a green ring latching switch and some jst connectors I soldered everything up but it still won't light up , the led onthe switch has a 1 ohm resistor on the positive and the switch positive is on the no1 and the negative is on the led negative, did I solder the switch wrong

what's your battery setup?

You have this? http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MW...uck--P748.aspx

If so, the C1 and NO1 connections on the switch will go to the two switch wire spots on the buckpuck. The LED +/- on the switch itself will go to the Accent LED spots on the buckpuck. You'll need a resistor, and the 1 ohm is unlikely to be sufficient to protect your LED.

Keep in mind that a buckpuck requires a minimum of 5v to operate properly. If you're trying to run it off a single li-ion, then it's not going to work.

I have two 14500 batterys powering it I think they are 3.2 each

[Silver Serpent]

If they are li-ion batteries, they are 3.7v each. That would make it a 7.4v pack, and you'll need to calculate the resistor for your switch LED according to that value. Using the resistor calculator in my signature, you're looking at a 220 ohm resistor for that switch LED. If you've hooked up the switch LED using only a 1 ohm resistor, then it's most likely been blown already.

If you didn't hook it up correctly, then the switch LED may still be fine.

The main blade LED will be controlled appropriately by the buckpuck itself.

wouldn't this work for him, and make his life easier?

[garymorris]

I got my resistor wrong I do have the one gnar ganr gin recommend

[Silver Serpent]

Yes, the DynaOhm will work just fine.

[garymorris]

Thanks for help my brothers I will let you know if it works

[garymorris]

I resoldered the switch and it still won't light up the resistor is on the switch LED positive terminal and the switch is hooked up to the switch terminals on the buckpuck, I am still so confused. ??????????,
