Looking to add LED button lights on my CS build

Post by Metaphysical Logic » Fri Sep 27, 2019 3:23 am

Recently purchased an LED button module from handheld legends and I'm trying to figure out how to add this to the build? From my understanding it's a 5V module so I would need a power boost 1000c to get it to work ? If anyone knows how to go about this set up and can give me some pointers it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

On both the Circuit Sword and Circuit Sword Lite they both have "3.3v" and "gnd" solder holes. I would use these if I were you, no real need to bother boosting it to 5v, they will work fine on 3.3v.. if you are using the Circuit Sword (not the lite one) then there already is a "5v" solder hole you can use instead.. but honestly give it a go on 3.3v and see how it goes! Otherwise, on the Lite, above the battery connector just under the label "PON" is a + and - solder pad, these are the battery voltage, so it will be 4.2-3.3v range, so slightly higher voltage.. so using that might get it slightly brighter for you :)

Kite you the homie! Sorry for not specifying which board I have I believe its the regular circuit sword. I did find both the 5v and 3.3 solder pads. I really appreciate your help my dude. Off topic but any idea when the new batch will be available?

Probably beginning of next year, but sign up/follow me/etc and you'll get notified a few weeks before it goes up :)
