NB (PEX), Tri Rebel Star (RRW), 18650 3.7 3400mah Panasonic, Recharge Port, AV mom

Been reading for a few days every article I can. Seeing as how there is many ways to do wiring this is the schematic I came up with. Can anyone help me determine if it will work set up this way and if not what do I need to change? Thanks guys

Are you looking to have the LED in the switch light up as soon as you pull the kill key?

[pringle117]

I guess so. I just want to make sure that the system will work and no current from the battery gets out when it's killed.

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

If that's the case, then you will want to connect the LED (+) to the 3.3V pad on the board, and the LED (-) to the battery (-) on the board.

Thanks. I haven't purchased any yet so I was just going by the user manual for the nb and all the info on LEDS and PEX and recharge port I could find. Still trying to figure out the correct resistors to use. I know the 3.7 Doesnt need a resistor to the board because it can take up to a 5.5v but the formula for the av switch I just keep getting tripped up. You're reducing voltage not amperage because amperage because amperage is just what the item draws from the voltage but since the fv for the switch is 2.2 do I just use a 1.5 resistor since it's drawing 3.3 from the board?

For the switch, you could use a Dyna-ohm resistor, OR you could read through this, which explains Ohm's Law a bit better:

That is immensely helpful. I have read and searched for resistance and ohms over and over and this article hasnt popped up. Thanks alot.
This forum appears to be about two years ago highly trafficed did the hobby just slowly whittle down did everyone go to a different forum or what?

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

There are a couple of Saber Forums, depending on your skill level (and other things). Usually most people here are on the other Saber Forums like FX-Sabers.

Ive been reading a ton on there as well. How fast do you guys predict the market for what yall do is going to explode when episode 7 comes out next year

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

The market has already exploded to a degree. The problem is every one wants things "cheap", and a lot of the "cheap" offerings out here aren't very good. And the really good offerings out here aren't "cheap", like many other things in life.
