Thread: Complicated Stunt Saber Wire Check

  1. #1

    Default Complicated Stunt Saber Wire Check

    Good day saber smiths,

    I've got a bit of a tricky stunt saber that I need a little sanity on the wiring. I'm using 2 x 14500 li-ions to power a 1000mA BuckPuck for a Cree Star LED, a Switch Craft 2.1mm recharge port, a 16mm A/V momentary switch, and a momentary to latching converter. I figure it's about as much as I can do without putting in sound.

    Can you all give my diagram a quick look and make sure I'm on the right track?

    Thanks so much and MTFBWYA,

    Move the green switch wires to the 2 unlabeled pads on the left side of your diagram. Everything else looks good.

    Thanks so much Silver Serpent. Thought I'd post the updated diagram in case anyone else ever needs it.

    The updated diagram looks good to me.

    So as a quick follow up and issue. I've wired everything up according to the diagram; however, the switch is always and automatically in the "On" setting (including the small red indicator light on the back of the Momentary to Latching converter). Basically all the LEDs and recharge port work properly, and I don't want to tear the whole thing apart if it's just something small. Any idea what I might have wrong? Any and all help appreciated.

    Check to see if you wired up the switch properly. You might have gotten the switch and the LED terminals swapped.

    Other than that, I would look to see if you have any connections bridged on the board. Possibly your two switch pads.
