Fireworks Controller

Step 12 Label the front panel

Labeling the front panel is important so that you don't accidentally arm the circuit instead of put it on test, etc.
I just used a Dymo embossing label maker, but you could also write it on the wood with a marker if you want to. I labeled each speaker terminal pair, each pushbutton switch, and the main switches (Toggle and keylock). See pictures below for layout.

Instead of a battery would a transformer work?

Transformer Specs:
120V AC to 12V DC 200mA

 I have a SPDT keyswitch, I think I could use that instead of a SPDT toggle and a SPST key.

You will still have to have an off position, regardless of whether it is part of the keyswitch or independent. Don't just have an Arm and Test, you need a master switch too, or I assume you have one planned? Ideally one would use a three-way SPDT keyswitch, with a Test-Off-Arm wiring, but I couldn't find one at all that was a keyswitch. Let me know if you happen to find one.

 Yeah, that's what I have. The middle position is off, to the right is position 2 and the left is position 1.

Just get a 3 position switch and cut the terminal for the middle position. Thats all an on-off-on keyswitch it.

what is the arm function for?????

[thepaul1993]

When you switch to arm, you can set off fireworks.

What kind of batteries did you use? Did you put them in parallel or series?

[systemf92]

As described in Step 1, a 12 volt Sealed Lead Acid rechargeable battery. There is only one battery, so parallel/series is irrelevant. Specifically, one of the following: https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&pa=318924&productId=318924
