Momentary Switch Question??????

[FHMENDOZA]

If I use a Momentary Switch on a Nano Biscotte V3 does it require a Momentary to Latching converter to keep the saber on with out having to keep holding it, or does the saber stay on by itself?

[FenixFire]

No, it is designed to only use a momentary switch.

The saber will com on with a press and shut off with a long hold. Read the manual it will answer many questions, it can be downloaded from the store.

[FHMENDOZA]

so I don't have to hold the switch to keep the saber on?
only to turn it off?

[Silver Serpent]

That is correct. Once you turn it on, the NB will keep the saber activated until you tell it to shut off (or the battery dies).

so- could one also use a latching switch as the thing to completely turn the switch off??? or at least- disconnect the battery from the board so that you could then recharge the battery without fear of borking the nb?

Yup, wiring in a latching switch in-line with one of the battery wires would have that effect (same as using a kill key in the recharge port though, so redundant if you are going to be using a recharge port anyways)

hmmmmmm interesting……. very interesting……… (not using a kill key- but do have a recharge "thingy")

might be much easier to just install a small basic on/off switch. that and the deep sleep mode is pretty effective. i haven't charged my TFA build once since i finished it... four minths ago. no kill key installed, no battery cutoff of any kind.

What if I wire 2 momentary switches? One under the red button, and one under the clamp card. Would I be able to activate my blade using either switch?? Or turn it on using one and off using the other?? Just a thought.
