Hasbro sound module schematics and discussions

[vargose]

do you happen to know which exact relay to use?

This is the one I used

That looks great. Thanks, vargose. A couple of questions. Since a Hasbro board takes a momentary switch, and a Buckpuck requires a latching switch, I'm assuming you need a specific kind of relay for this set-up. What kind is required? Also, your digram shows two yellow wires from the relay joined together and then joining the positive lead from the battery pack. Could you explain that? Thanks in advance!

As far as type. Whichever type closes while current is applied to it, and opens when not.

One is the postive for the board. The negative output from the board goes through the relay and back out through the positve to the battery. This is controls the relay. When current is applied the relay closes and the LED turns on.

The other is the positive for the LED. The relay is acting as a switch on the positive line for the LED.

Here is the diagram again. It works great. Does anyone see a problem with it though?

Great. Thanks, vargose.

im going to use an '95 hasbro vader board, corbins LED driver and 4 AA's
1.what would the circuit look like if i wanted to activate both boards simultaniously with a latching switch?
2.can that relay be replaced by a latching switch using this circuit?
3. can a momentary switch be attached to the clash sensor points to make a lock-up sound?

Answer 1: To activate the hasbro you'll need to use a momentary switch. Which is ok because the momentary corbin boards can be activated by the same momentary switch. No need for a relay or second switch at all. See the first post of this thread for that diagram. Just make sure you specify momentary when you purchase the corbin board.

If however you are using a latching corbin board. You'd still use the momentary switch for the hasbro board and a relay as the switch for the corbin board.

Answer 2: No need. See answer 1.

Answer 3: Yes. In fact thats not a bad idea. Just replace the clash sensor with a momentary switch and it will work just fine. You could actually wire them both up in parallel if you wanted to have the sensor and the switch.

thanks, that is going to help a lot
kinda wished i hadnt ordered the latching version now

No worries. It will work fine. Like I said Just put a momentray on the hasbro. Have the hasbro power the relay and use the relay as a switch for the latching corbin. It will work just fine.

If worse comes to worse you can use two switches with this diagram

just one last little question, my switch is one of those illuminated ones
where should i hook up the LED so it dont fry it?

thanks, im finally good to go

could this work?

this is without the relay
since there are 2 positives on the soundboard, one is allways powered, the other only when activated. could that work as a 'latching' switch as well?
