After a good bit of turmoil in my life (irrelevant to saber building, so I'll move on)
I am in a place where I can work on my hobby.
I've upgraded my saber as seen in the image I posted to that thread, but with a couple
wiring changes for convenience of soldering.
1) 3 wires are soldered to the recharge port right lug (battery +, LED +, & nano + input)
2) 2 wires are soldered to the center lug (battery neg & a switch wire)
The nano neg input is soldered to the left lug (with S/C logo... unchanged from photo)
This upgrade hasn't come w/o some headaches, however... seems to be the norm for me.
The boot sound plays when I pull the kill plug, the LED lights up fine when I hit the switch.
Hum, swing and clash sounds all play as expected... One issue is that if I leave the saber
idling for a few moments, it starts making a click or pop type sound every 3-4 seconds.
I'm not sure if this is a low battery issue, or...? The charger I have is 3.7v smart charger
w/ 2.1 mm plug. I plug it in the wall, it's LED is green. I then plug it into the saber's port,
the LED goes red, & no matter how long the saber is plugged in, the color doesn't change.
Lastly, my new (technically 14 months old, but unused) Aoyue 469 decided to jump the shark
before I could get the last 2 joints done so I ended up having to fabricobble a mechanical
connection using a female JST connector & a needle nose pliers. (A kinda long story in it's
own right, so plz don't ask, lol)
