You still have to wire up the switch correctly but this shows how to run EL at 9v and the sound module at 5v. That is if I figured correctly.

thanks a bunch. i found that voltage regulator last night on their site. that circuit drawing really helps though.

so basically then, you have the switch for the el to turn it on and the momentart switch also to turn on the sound. i guess youd have to hit both at the same time to have the sounds coincide with el. if i gather this correctly. it looks like the negative off the sound and reducer and off the battery all hook up together? is that right?

[Strydur]

You could hook it all up to one switch. I just didnt have the time to mull that one over.

so a dual throw switch with each circut hooked up to the seperate sides of the switch? sounds like it would work just fine.

Is there a way to get that diagram with better resolution. I can't really see it that well.

can anyone point me in the direction of a good DPDT switch? the only one they have at my radioshack is one that looks like the switch that eeygore used to activate frankestein's machine []

Would the voltage reducer work with 18 volts as well?

[Strydur]

Yes, Up to 36v I think.

If you're talking about the voltage regulator from RS, then anything up to 40 volts will be brought down to 5 volts.
