Hasbro Obi + Corbin v2 help

[Silent_Jedi]

Hey guys & gals;

I've wired up a Hasbro Obi Wan soundboard to a Corbin v2 and I'm using a DTDP switch and Lux III blue LED. The trouble I'm having is that I switch it on once, I get both light and sound, I switch it off...the LED goes off, but I still have sound. Turn it on again, the sound goes off and the LED comes on, then I turn it off again, and both the LED and sound go off. The only thing I haven't done yet is wire the shimmer effect, but I'm sure that's not nessesary.

Any thoughts?

almost sounds like that one is set up for a momentary switch.

Silent, it's doing exactly what you wired it to do...

ahh, I reread it, yup exactly like eastern said.

try this, desolder the soundboard from the switch and throw the switch, if nothing happens with the led, your + leads are on the wrong poles

I was actually going off of this wireing design...


using the DTDP slide switch sold here at the CSS. Before soldering, I did check my wireing and I'm pretty sure it was correct. I guess I might have to switch to that design to get it working... there goes my weekend. Was trying to get it to work in a graflex I made and use it as the pin on the control box, but I might use one of my tactile switches and disguise it somewhere, maybe one of the bubbles in the control box.

Okay, I apologize for giving you a hard time I'll climb out of my own @$$ now...

What I was hinting at, is that you have a Latching-controlled Driver and Momentary-controlled Sound board. And while the DPDT slider switch matches the driver control - the momentary control will never be in sync. Know what I mean?

In other words, your two boards have to match, to make your set up work, you would need two switches...

Yeah the Joe Jedi's are momentary. You could wire up the driver and board in parallel and leave the Joe Jedi board with the switch in the on position. They'll both turn on and off in sync that way. Really wouldn't be too hard, in theory on a wiring plan of course. All you'd have to do was have the one switch turn the whole circuit on and off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.

Maverick, I dont think hes using a joe jedi, hes using a hasbro. also a joe jedi is not momentary its latching.
