Hey guys

Just looking for confirmation on this diagram I created for wanting to add a recharge port to the Obsidian board:

I used this for reference:

Thanks in advance!

That looks about right, but I am not that familiar with the buck-puck, I think it should be connected like a resistor.









Lightside points please.

Dead on.  It is just as Ninja described it to me.  Thanks for providing the schematics.  Also, saw a thread about crystal chambers and I referred the poster to you.

Blue

Awesome!!

And no one has PM'd me too recently, but Ill keep my eyes peeled :)

Issue- recharge port is not working at all with this setup

Everything else is fully functional though

Is it because I am using a standard battery pack with two trustfires? am I supposed to be using a different battery? I didnt think it should matter

Just noticed something.  You need to have the ground from the battery going to your port and then the ground should be connected to the board.  You don't want your battery connected directly to your board.  The schematic still has the ground on the battery going to the board. 

Could you illustrate what you mean?


All of it sounds the same

EDIT: Nevermind!! got it :D :D

I think I should fix the diagram to more clearly illustrate how to wire it though

Did you get this to work? If so any way you could shoot me a diagram of how its wired. I am making custom mhs sabers using the obsidian board and my next build I wanted to do a recharge port in the hilt.

Yes I got it to work just fine, never got around to fixing the diagram, but i can PM it to you when I get a chance

I would really appreciate that my friend!

Anyone know what the charger dc setup is?  Is it :

- o + or + o - ?

I know this is an older post but do you still have the updated wiring for the recharge port? I'm working on some plans for a custom saber and these are the closest i'v found (this post that is). It would be very much appreciated.

The thread actually corrects the only fault in the diagram. The green line should go directly between the battery and port with no other connections. The black line should go directly from port to neg on board. There should be no connection between the green and black lines. Hope that clarifies it for you. ;)

Yeah I think people get confused they are like need a schematic for obsidian, or for stunt.     Recharge ports are very simple there are only 3 connections and
they wire up to every soundboard the same.  You have 3 connections 2 of them go directly to your battery. The third connection is the negative that kill power
(usually the green wire in wiring diagrams) you hook this line up to whatever you want to kill power to, doesnt have to be a soundboard can be anything.
When u think of recharge ports forget all the other wiring and just focus on those 3 connections it will make it all easier

Okay I see it. Thanks Guies that helps allot.

That's right ninja, everyone over thinks them.

Look at it as a NC switch between the battery and whatever you are powering. Plugging anything in opens the switch, so a kill plug just opens it while a charger creates a new circuit to charge battery
