Step 6Electronics
THE ELECTRONICS::::::
Materials you'll need:
- button/switch
- motor (optional):
If you do use a motor: Wrap a piece of wire or carefully hot-glue a nut onto the motor shaft in such a way that its as off-balance as possible. Thatll make it vibrate more, making a better sound effect. Also, if the motor is too small to fit snugly into the handle, wrap duct tape around it until it does.
-wires: switch and motor wires must be long enough to reach from your components
mounting location to 3 inches out the bottom of the handle to allow room for attaching or soldering them.
-battery pack (these wires dont have to be long,
just long enough to attach your connections to)
1) Make sure the button works with your hole, you want enough clearance for leads and wires (see pic.)
2) Solder your wires to the button/switch and thread through hole (see pic.) If you don't have a soldering set-up, you may be able to wrap the exposed end of the wire around each lead of the buttong and tape it down. I think soldering would work best here.
3) Attach your blade (by jamming it on) such that the wires from the LED string protrude out
the bottom of the saber handle.
4) All loads need to be soldered in parallel across the battery pack with the switch in between.
In how we did it, red wire is for the positive end and white wire is for the negative end. Traditionally, black wire symbolizes negative/ground. Keep that in mind here!
-solder a weak resistor (~10ohms) to the white terminal of the motor (this gives more power to the
LEDs.) Which terminal is white on the motor is arbitrary -- either one is fine, we just need to keep track.
-Solder the white wire of the switch to the red wire of the battery pack.
-Solder the red terminal of the motor and the red of the LEDs to
the red of the switch.
-solder all the white wires to the white of the battery pack
5) Carefully insert everything into the handle so it fits snugly and so that the motors shaft its
hitting against anything inside. You may have to be skillful in arranging the wires around the
inside of the handle to make it all fit without jamming.

dude instead of batteries you could use a bug-killer racket the image stayed too bad i know its that using the racket's grip it becomes a lot easier because there is already the on/off switch batteries and recharge plugin(?) [sic]

não quis ofender, só é um fato...
