Thread: Cold RUN

  1. #1

    Default Cold RUN

    Greetings all I am a noob, this is my second build, I successfully build one saber with a PC which had few problems but i finally over came. this is my second saber and of corse will be bigger and better. I wanted to ask if there is a way I can have a cold run with out soldering just to see all the wires are correct and all system works before i solder and install on a very tight Hilt.
    is there any suggestions how i can do a dry run or is there any technique any of you Jedi masters can enlighten me about?
    here is my diagram


    all the best

    Dry fitting your wires is a poor idea. That's the quick path to blowing your board if a wire moves on you.

    At most, I'd only ever do dry fitting with switch wires. You can just tap those together to simulate a momentary switch. Anything beyond that is a bad idea.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
