Electronics Team 14 - Sword Switch

 




Have you ever wanted to know when your sword is fully sheathed? Well now you can, with this unconventional Sword Switch, a LED light turns on only when the Sword is fully sheathed. One end of the switch is connected to the Handle whereas the other side of the switch fits exactly into the dragon claw, touching the metal only when the sword is fully sheathed. The power source is the Adafruit Express which runs into the positive and negative columns of the breadboard, then connects with one end of the switch, which connects to the sheathe, and then the other end of the switch is the handle, which connects back into the breadboard, sending the voltage through a 100 Ohm resistor, into the LED, turning it on. With one more wire connecting from that row back into the column that is powering the circuit, completing the circuit loop.
