Golden Harvest v3 Phase 4 - Wiring Check (RGBW - In Hilt)

[atodd]

It actually came with a protected 18650 battery, which is good. The saber is from Ali Express, from a store called STKsabers. The saber itself is an X-Lightsabers brand. Yes, it was from China but the hilt is actually really nice. And I have a Korbanth LS6 Gullwing. The stock electronics aren't bad either with good sound and smooth swing. The only negative is I can't change the fonts or add more. It is a 1" I.D. size hilt. Speaking of Darkwolf, I just found that they make a switch PCB with either barrel or USB-C. I've also seen complete chassis on Vire Sabers and Crimson Dawn with the GHV3 and either barrel or USB-C. So, I wonder if I can just buy one of those switch boards instead of the seedling and a separate switch.

I do have a 3D printer and am currently designing a chassis for the Korbanth, so that is an option. Is there any reason to not use the LED that came with it? It is plenty bright and I'm happy with the colors.

None of those switch boards will allow data transmission, so the seedling is the only choice.

I've been looking around a lot, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen a chassis that is made for the GHV3 AND Seedling Module.

There likely is, but finding one that fits your specific hilt would likely be a shot in the dark (not all hilts are universal in terms of internal dimensions). Most general chassis will only include bare minimum in terms of compatibility for hilts like wire channels, speaker mount location, soundboard mount location, and typically a RC port and/or kill switch mount location. Things like OLED, seedling, BT modules, accent LEDs and accent strips would be considered extra and are usually only found on custom design chassis or the fancy reveal ones made by people like Goth3D.

True. Thank you again for all your help. I will either have to design my own or buy one and modify it.

I went ahead and traced out the USB/Switch board and was able to complete my wiring diagram. I feel pretty good about it but here it is...

FYI: I'm not concerned about USB Data access. I don't plan on making many changes and the chassis is easy to remove anyway. The switch is lighted which LED6 connects to. Let me know if there are any major issues!
