Thread: adding sound to an existing saber

    Default adding sound to an existing saber

    hi all, i completed my friends saber (basic led buckpuck set up) really cool and all, i am trying to hook him up with some saber sound.

    is there a way to hook everything up?

    we have:
    led: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Re...dule-P653.aspx
    buckpuck: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MW...uck--P748.aspx
    battery with speaker: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MH...lder-P315.aspx
    switch: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MW...ckel-P901.aspx

    i have heard a latching switch will not work for some reason?

    we would like it set up when you press the button, the switch led + main led + sound activate.
    if we got one of these and hooked it up think it could work out? http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MW...e-V2-P835.aspx

    With the Nano Biscotte, you will need to swap the latching switch for a momentary switch.

    You will also need to change the battery pack, and exchange the buckpuck for a resistor. The NB works best with a 3.7v li-ion battery, and can be damaged at voltages over 5.5v. The buckpuck requires a minimum of 5v, so the two items are not really compatible.

    Read through the NB manual. There is a section that describes a "progressive power-on" wiring setup for the accent LED in your switch. You can get the effect you want, but you will have some spare parts left over. They'll work nicely in a new stunt saber though.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
