    Been watching loads of these videos, and laughing that every one so far has a "just click here" with Rob's finger pointing to... an empty space hahahah

    Perfect timing Rob, thanks. Just got my Red AV switch in the mail yesterday

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that DynaOhm variable resistors must be installed on the positive leg of the accent LED.

    • @BlueForceSabers
      @BlueForceSabers 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Positive wire from switch to negative side of dynaohm resistor.

      If you don't wanna have the trouble of wiring it yourself you can just buy the pre wired one in the modular wiring section at TCSS

    Could u tell me how you would wire an aux button along with an illuminated AV switch?

  • @Sir_Ken179
    @Sir_Ken179 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was told you dont need a resistor for the led on the switches unless you want the LED to be dimmer. Can I get away with running 2 green illuminated AV switches directly?

  • @memjarias2

    Rob, sorry for asking a question on a video that so old I hope this message gets to you ..just curious I followed your tutorial and successfully installed a illuminated AV switch in my sons Saber, thank you so much for the video it was very very helpful very descriptive....
    question though noticed in the video you use 16 gauge to wire the switch....
    Would 26 gauge be acceptable for wiring an illuminated AV switch?
    I used 26 gauge throughout his saber doing a complete rewiring and everything seems to be working properly
    It wasn’t till after revisiting your video I noticed you said you use 16 gauge on the switch.
    Wondering if I should go back in and rework the switch with 16 gauge.
    Thanks

  • @briw8929
    @briw8929 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    any reason you use 16 gauge wire fir the led on the switch? it's thick wire, you usually use 28 gauge or 26 in your videos . many thanks for all the videos I really find them helpful

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bri w (willbo) It's a mistake - that's 28g

    • @briw8929
      @briw8929 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rob Petkau ah. thank you. I got 28 gauge and 26 ready for my build

  • @LunchBXcrue
    @LunchBXcrue 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So on a proffieboard would I wire the led power from the 3.3v? Cause I'm using an RGB cree led so the one I wire it to may not be on all the time. I assume it would go to 3.3v.

    Is there a chassis disk for a Crystal Focus Sound Card? and what does R.I.C.E. do and is it worth buying? The components I mean?

  • @tearjaw
    @tearjaw 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dunno if this question would be answered but if I just recently bought a CFX for my saber build, do i need a resistor for illuminated 12mm av switches? I've seen the internals and builds of other sabers, as well as my saberforge, and I don't see any resistors attached

  • @michaelw.611
    @michaelw.611 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Rob, great instructional video as always. So, I'm brainstorming for a build that I want to do with a NB, a tri cree LED, and an illuminated momentary av switch, and I was wondering if you could help me out. You said the NB essentially fulfills the job of the momentary to latching converter, so I won't need one, which is great. My question is with all those extra wires coming from the main LED since it's a tri cree, won't this create a problem when wiring them to the same spot on the NB as the wires for the LED from the illuminated av switch? Is there a way around this?

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Michael Wehrley Sharing contacts is not a problem - especially on the ground spots. What I often do to save wires is to link the LED (+) wires at the LED, then run one (+) wire to the board, rather than join 3 (+) wires at the board.

    • @michaelw.611
      @michaelw.611 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rob Petkau Awesome idea. I hadn't thought of that, but it'll keep me from creating a build up of excessive wires on the NB, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid. Thanks for the tip.

  • @TonyCelliers
    @TonyCelliers 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the great Vid Rob.
    Will this be the same process if I want to wire the AV LED in series with the main LED? I tried this and the main LED has dimmed and the AV LED is very dim, so I am presuming the resistor from the main led also effects the AV LED or am I wrong? I want to wire the AV LED so it goes on and off with the saber without a recharge port to a NB Board, any advice? thanks.

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tony Celliers I would not wire them in series - the resistor will affect both. I would wire them in parallel

  • @HiOctane62
    @HiOctane62 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rob, I have a yellow AV switch but ring not dot. Anyways, my question is; do you really need to use the momentary latch converter? I do plan on having it light up and I'll be using a NBv3 sound board. I'm buying my parts as TCSS has them. Just want to have a good set up and I want to do it myself. Thanks. Great video by the way, I've seen them all more than twice.

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Shawn Pierce You do not need the converter as the NB uses momentary switches

    • @HiOctane62
      @HiOctane62 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rob Petkau thanks Rob. Like I said I love your videos.

  • @vammpirros3181
    @vammpirros3181 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    could I wire a latching switch on the positive wire from the battery pack and use that as a kill switch so to say. I plan to have it on the same wire as my momentary so it would obviously let the power flow when the latch is down. I only wonder Cuz I would rather not have a plug or any sort of thing like that

  • @b.h1362

    How do I wire it if it’s an RGB AV switch ?

  • @Controverze
    @Controverze 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    On a NB v3, wouldn't it be better to attach the switch led to the power indicator port? Because i suspect that the switch led would pulse the same way as the saber if you solder them parallel together like you did on the convertor, or am I wrong on this?

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Correct. I believe on the new NB3 there is a 3.3v pad to use for that purpose described in the manual.

    I have an RGB LED switch, would it be alright to use a dynaohm resistor and connect the legs to the accent pads? Custom saber shop doesn't have SMD resistors from what I saw.

  • @michaelphillips3148

  • @Sheild_against_the_wicked556
    @Sheild_against_the_wicked556 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Rob, quick question. Can you wire switch LEDs in parallel with the main LED on a CFV8, or, is it absolutely necessary to wire them to the accent pads? Thanks.

  • @Manadono
    @Manadono 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    what do you think to wiring the accent LED to multiple pads on a PLI for a variable gain PLI effect? I get the feeling it's a bad idea, but I want to be sure 😅

    • @MadcowGenesis
      @MadcowGenesis 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +PangLiang It would be hard to get it to operate like you are expecting.

    • @Manadono
      @Manadono 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rob Petkau I think you're right... I guess I can make do with a single step PLI for now 👍

  • @KORIBLADE100
    @KORIBLADE100 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    if I had an RGB LED as an accent LED and I wanted it to change color with the blade, would I be able to use the accent pads on a prism v5 or should I just go ahead and solder them to the same pads as the saber LED?

      I do not believe there is an accent LED pad, but in the manual it explains how to set up a simple accent LED.

  • @jbucks166
    @jbucks166 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can anybody help me out here? I'm having a hard time wiring the AV red ring using the dyna and the. 5ohm to main . I thought I had it at first but both we're flickering a bit. I took it apart since no luck getting it right. I've tried the pos side with dyna, negative, regular switch wire, I can't get any option to get the ring led and main lit to a steady level. Now I can't get the ring lit unless it's direct to pos/neg. Also now the main led turns on as soon as I make contact with the battery. Boot up and the brightness increases. I shut it down and the light dims but stays on. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm trying and I need some help.

    would it be possible to connect the AV switch LED so it powers on when the kill key is removed (using a Nano Biscotte)?

    so how does one wire it with a nano biscotte v3 for it to illuminate? I'm a bit confused with the short short explanation in the video

    • @MadcowGenesis

      There should be an explanation on your sound board manual for an "accent LED"

  • @JDTreadwell
    @JDTreadwell 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So its worth mentioning that the Dyna Ohm has a negative and positive pole unlike traditional resistors. Wired incorrectly it seems to draw nearly 40 mA. I also believe this is what just killed my NB V3. :-/
