2001 Hasbro Electronic Count Dooku Lightsaber schematic

[Matt Thorn]

Here's a wiring diagram I threw together for using a sound module from a 2001 Hasbro "Electronic Count Dooku Lightsaber" with a 3-watt LED. With the exception of the clash sensor wires, all the other wires are bunched together in one spot.

• The short, black wire goes to the negative terminal of the battery pack.
• The long, red wire is attached to the lead from the positive terminal of the battery pack to one of the positive pads of the LED.
• The long, yellow wire is attached to one of the negative pads of the LED.
• The two gray wires go to the speaker.

Keep the voltage between 3 and 6 volts and you should be all right. Just make sure you use the right resistor, particularly if you are using a red, red-orange, or amber LED.

If you plan to not use the switch that is built into the board (most likely), attach the wires for your momentary switch to the soldering nodes marked on the diagram. (Positive and negative are irrelevant.)

This is a bare-bones set-up, but it's easy to add a charge port to it. (Look at my 1999 Qui-Gon diagram in the "Cheapy Hasbro Wiring Diagrams" sticky for hints.)
