    Default 2nd Build Wiring Diagram. Let's up the ante

    So after the completion of my first successful build, of course I want to turn my attention to build #2.
    Once more I ask for checks on my wiring as I want to add a recharge port (and battery module) to the build. I also really liked the use of the MWS wiring harness as it let's me remove the chassis for easier access. I've modified it's use a bit in this build but hopefully I've done so correctly.
    As always, any corrections, pointers and comments are welcome.
    Thanks everyone and MTFBWY!

    So did it work? I am planning to do my first build just as this one, but with a Latching switch instead of a Kill key and a removable battery (don't like kill key, If you're in full costume mask and all , take the killl key out , then you have to keep track of the damn thingy.)

    You dont "need" a kill key. The deep sleep works just fine. Leave the kill key at home.

    LOL, I Haven't built it yet.This is only step one - drawing it out, and planning the chassis build. Last one worked out great so I'm getting a little more ambitious this time around. I'll be using a kill key only because the way I've got this configured, the light in the switch will always be on if I don't.

    Why would you wire it that way...?

    Is there a better way? Ideally I would want it to come on with the activation switch, but I wasn't sure if I could wire up the negative of the LED in the switch to the ACT on the NBIV? Or would it be the positive to the ACT? Sorry, still pretty new to this and want to make sure I don't mess up.

    Ideally, you want it lit when the saber is on, not all the time. Wire it parallel with the main LED.
