Stunt Saber Wiring Check

[Cha-Li Obedi]

Hey all,

Just getting ready to complete a couple of stunt sabers and need a little validation on my wiring diagram. I'm using a 16mm long latching AV switch and just need to make sure I'm on the correct path.

Thanks as always everyone & MTFBWYimage.jpg

it appears in that diagram that the switch isnt even connected..The switch needs to be in between the buckpuck and the LED, as it is right now you just have the switch LED on and the main LED always on..

I may be wrong, I didnt use a buckpuck in my stunt saber i used a resister but as far as i know that buckpuck just acts like a fancier resister.

The wiring is correct, but you need to move the DynaOhm. It should go between NO1 and the switch LED (+) terminals.

Excellent! Thanks so much for the confirmation Silver Serpent, and
thanks for the note Hermitjensen (Those long latching switches are pretty funky, so my diagram might of been confusing.

[Silver Serpent]

I've used those switches quite a few times. They can be confusing the first time or two, until you figure out what all the pins do.

One more quick follow up Silver Serpent...which connection (NO1 or LED +) should the "+" end of the 20mA DynaOhmn variable resistor be pointing at? I'm thinking it should be pointed at the LED"+" connection.

Thanks again

The DynaOhm resistor has an in side (the + side) and an out side.
The in side connects to the power soure, in this case NO1, while the out side connects to the LED positive.

Perfect! Thanks so much Generic Jedi. Now off to the soldering station!
