Economy Version Hasbro Sound Tutorial

[Azmaria Dei]

the three beeps means the button is depressed either when the board gets power or within about a second or two of it getting power. replace your switch and see how it acts.

Ehhh... i had already removed the switch and was just touching the wires tgether. The beeping happens as soon as a remove the kill plug or charger plug.
Didnt touch it today. Need a breather so i can attack it fresh. Thanks Az!

There is a Yoda saber that came out in 2005 I believe the same time episode 3 was released there were two switches one that would turn the saber on and another that would activate yodas voice to talk to you as you use the saber I'm not sure what the saber was called that's why I explain so much but do you wire these up the same way or is there a diagram that someone could point me to please and thank you

First off, Thank you guys for being so helpfull. I have been reading the forums (even ones not applying to my issues) for HOURS a day. So, I would like to solder the momentary switch but A.) I am not quite sure what you mean by just soldering a spot, since there is no solder point, and I am not good at soldering, AND this is my first saber I could really ue either a Chart or better description PLEASE? I cant get another if I screw up this one, my vader econo Hasbro is that new one attached to the l.e.d that nobody has shown yet and I am not breaking my Luke R.O.T.J. Please give me the low down this 1 time (I know it is do it yourself, but I have read and read and am still not getting this issue) The picture with color dots... Yellow is what I think you mean, and/or green as well but How do you solder without a point for it?.... The other is a close up so maybe if you could guide me then I can attach it o its sled and put it in and get'er rippin!! (I hope lol) So k, heres the board links, and I will add a few of the hilt (my first, dreml only freehand!

Has any one tried the board from Hasbro Star Wars Force Tech Electronic Lightsaber - Mace Windu?

Will this one work like the suggested sabers from the original post?

(wrong of me, I know)

I am bumping this thread because I'd also like to know if the "Hasbro Star Wars Force Tech Electronic Lightsaber - Mace Windu" saber also works similarly. Also, does anyone have a sound clip of what this one sounds like? I had used the Obi-Wan in my last saber and would like a slightly different sound in the next one...

Thanks in advance!

If you want a different sound for the new one--go with a Vader soundboard.

I've used a couple 2010 hasbro boards so far, but I'm trying the Anakin for the first time. It looks like the Vader board but is wired for a tactile switch like Mace and Qui-gon. However, it also has the two switch leads labeled "SW1" like the non-tactile hasbros like Vader and Obi-wan. Anyone tried to use those instead of the tactile leads? I'm going to wire up to them and see what happens but I thought someone else might have already tried it.

hey guys, i cross-posted this in another thread as well, but i was reading this as well as another one and i'm a bit confused and even after reading through the MR/Hasbro FX Wiring Diagram thread, i'm not 100% positive i understand fully... im building a saber using the seoul p4 wiring kit with the premium speaker and a mace windu card...would you be able to confirm my thoughts on this wiring and let me know if i need to think differently? it seems as though i have the gray wire going to my clash sensor with a short blue wire coming off - this gets tied into the LED (+) wire, while the bundle of multicolors (7 wires) runs to LED (-)? Do I just solder all 7 of these wires together with the (-) lead coming off the LED? Also, from the battery pack - red goes to battery/speaker (+), while black goes to battery (-), and brown goes to speaker (-)... i have two blue wires coming to the old switch - those go to the leads coming off the push on/off switch that came with the kit, yeah? now, my kit came with a resistor - i splice that into the LED (-) or battery (-)? it appears as though the MHS LED kit (resistor tutorial) thread shows the resistor going to battery (-)/LED (-), but with the soundcard in there, that throws me for a loop... i'm not doing any wiring yet - saving that for next weekend with my brother in law who does electronics wiring for a living, but i just want to make sure i've got the right idea coming into things... i know i'm a bit late on adding to this thread but if anyone would be able to either confirm my thoughts or correct them, that'd be a HUGE help. thanks everyone!

Thanks for making this! I just finished wiring the LED in my first saber yesterday. I might as well crack it back open and install sound on it.
