Hey all. Question for all the electronics gurus out there. I'm working on a new saber idea and I need a little help on the potential wiring end of things.
What I want to do is (using a PC 3.5) use the aux accent pads as triggers for driving a full Power Cree (powered off from the bottom mounted pex's as described in the psuedo color mixing section of the manual). My thought was initially wiring a relay between the aux pads, the onboard pex pads, and the cree, but I'm pretty beginner level on the electronic end of things. I can solder and wire parts in the right place as described on a diagram or calculate needed resistors in a basic circuit, but when it comes to finding the right specialty parts for more advanced things I'm a little lost. Maybe I'm just not looking for the right component or I'm misreading the specs, but my concern is finding a relay that can be effectively triggered and maintained by the power provided by the aux pads.
In the process of trying to find my own solution I happened to take another look at the PEX board (typically used for flash on clash) and noticed the trigger could potentially be switched by the aux pads.
So here's a basic diagram I drew up of how this would work, though I'm not 100% on whether it's right or not. Am I on the right track?
Now... I know the first thing you're probably all going to ask is, "Why?"
I assure you, there is a method to my madness. With out going to much into detail on it, one reason is that it allows for one to use the animated (programmable aspect) ability of the aux pads and apply it to a fully driven cree.
So... Possible?
