Circuit Diagram
This provides a visual reference for wiring of the components. They aren't true to scale, just meant to be used as reference. This diagrams was created using Fritzing software.
Wired Connections
The Prop-Maker FeatherWing is fitted on top of Adafruit Feather M4 Express via short female/male headers. The RGB LED metal pushbutton uses several connections that are wired to the FeatherWing. The speaker is connected via a molex pico blade connector. The battery uses a JST PH connection that plugs in directly to the Adafruit Feather.
On/Off Switch or Button
Tying the enable and ground pins on the Feather will essentially shut off the power – Use a 16mm pushbutton with on/off latch. If you'd like to keep the two buttons in the hilt as momentary push buttons, you can optionally solder a slide switch directly onto the Prop-Maker FeatherWing.
RGB LED Button Connections
- SWITCH pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to signal on Switch
- GND pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to ground on Switch
- RED pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to RGB LED red cathode
- GREEN pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to RGB LED green cathode
- BLUE pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to RGB LED blue cathode
- V+ pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to RGB LED common anode
NeoPixel Connections
- NEOPIX pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to Data-In on NeoPixel Strip
- GND pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to GND on NeoPixel Strip
- V+ pin on Prop-Maker FeatherWing to +5V on NeoPixel Strip
