Thread: Petit Crouton wiring clarification

  1. #1

    Default Petit Crouton wiring clarification

    Need a quick clarification on something i'm seeing in the owners manual for the petit v3. Got my parts in for saber number 2 using the newer parts that have come available since I came back to the saber scene. I'm using a petit v3 for this saber and need a quick clarification on what i'm seeing in the owners guide.

    In the guide I see only one hole designated for the ignition switch and one for an aux switch. I plan on using the jst connectors sold here on the site to connect the switches to. Being that I see only one hole/lead designated for the ignition switch and one for the aux switch, do I just stick both wires of the jst in the single hole and solder it that way or how would I distribute them? Noob question i'm sure but never worked with the petit so wanted to be sure so i don't fry the board. Other than knowing how to solder the jst connectors for the switches i'm good to go. Thanks in advance folks.

    There's one positive connection per switch, and they share a negative/ground.

    This JST was designed for such a connection. Soldier one red wire onto the Activation switch tab, solder the other red to the Auxillary switch tab, and then the black onto the negative/ground.

    If you're using 2 JSTs, the idea is the same. One red to Activation, the other red to Auxillary, both blacks to the negative. It's more of a pain to do that way, but will work all the same.

    Also, on the PC's, solder to the surface of the board, not through the holes.
