Thread: Another Econo-question

    Default Another Econo-question

    Hallo everyone!
    I admit it, I am new here, and I hope you forgive me my question and I haven't over-read something.

    After reading the general econo-thread I came up for my desired layout with this wiring:


    I hope I didn't make a calculation-error.
    So far everything was clear, until I "unpacked" my board and got something like this:


    The saber is the new Ultimate FX Vader (this one: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/im...HSA0861Blg.jpg ). Which of all these things are the LED- and/or +-contacts? There are just too many of them! And can I simply remove everything else or does it not work then anymore?
    "Hit1" in the middle goes to the clash-sensor. How can I keep the thing on, while removing the rest? Or can I simply cut off the LED-strip?


    Also does someone know which of the wires is for the "off", "trial" or "on"-version on the saber (and how to wire it to permanent on)?
    This is the backside of the main-Board:
    and
    "TRY" with the yellow wires goes to the switch, green goes to the speaker.

    This is the small card, that is placed under the switch for changing on/off/trial-mode:
    backside:
    front: The switch itself is labeled "SW1", VDD goes to the + of the batterie.

    I hope someone can bring some light into that mess and help me!

    Soooo.....
    I build my first lightsaber with another eco-board (from the Ani-Saber) and the circuit (as shown above, just with other resistances, I miscalculated...) as well as everything else and it worked like a charm.
    Next I tryed it with the upper mentioned Vader-board and it doesn't work. Current goes to the board (so the try-switch is in the right position), however, the board itself does not turn on. I tryed it with the main momentary-switch removed, with only the wires together, but that also do not turn the board on. Is there a way to test, if I fryed the board? What else can I do?

    Edit: Found the problem: one of the contacs for the switch was broken Had to buy a new soundboard -> all worked well!

    if you wire the White wire (BP23) to the Gray wire (GND). you can bypass the demo switch


    [edit note: added pic of how to rewire the board to remove the demo switch]
