Neilshaw1980 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Can an LED fire switch be wired to these boards? If so, is it the same way as the 200/250 boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iambyrdman Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 How was it done on the 200/250? I'm building a 250C, maybe 2 and was thinking about a volt meter LED on the first one maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckus Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I've been keeping an eye out for RGB led switches, I think that would be your best bet and just piggy back off the onboard LED. Would allow the RGB switch to be configurable via escribe also. Only problem is RGB momentary switches are a dime in a dozen.. haven't found many sizes beside a 16mm. EDIT: If anyone has a DNA250C could you take some close up photo's of the LED ? Edited April 6, 2018 by ruckus monkey nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iambyrdman Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I wish it wasn't so close to the fire button... I might wire a new on too. Look forward to your help! You first... ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works in the regular 250 board but the driving components might be diffrent. it´s a little work, but you could just take a normal led switch and replace the led with a smaller rgb, like the one on the board.

A lot of the LED switches are sealed tho.. at least the ones I have on hand, not sure how you would replace the LED. I have attached the data sheet for the RGB should find what your looking for in there.. After it was all said and done, I didn't find it worth the effort, pushed on and put together my mod.

No, sorry it´s just 24 of these 0805 red leds in parallel. but it´s probably possible to do rgb in the same manner. i guess it depends on if the stepdown module can keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i'm looking to make a mod on my Thelema DNA 250C with 2V @20mA LED and if it is the case, i think you just solved my issue about powering them p.s. you said you have 24 of them, if i only use like 6-10 led, will it change anything? like will it send too much Amp to the led or should it be fine? (i'm not really knowledgeable with Electricity, but i am good with my hands so i'm always looking for a way to do some cool mod on my electronic device :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
