Hi all,
I have a few of these FX lightsabers that I would like to use as wall displays. The problem is that the circuit has a 2 minute auto shutoff if none of the movement sensors are activated.
I can not simply bypass the sensors because the processor chip requires on/off "chatter" from the sensors to keep it from executing an auto shutoff.
So my idea is to create some kind of a "pulse" circuit to close and open one of the processor sensor inputs every minute or so.
The circuit runs on 4.5V and it appears that the sensor input on the processor chip is either open or gets 3.7V
The solution needs to be as small as possible because it needs to fit inside the saber hilt with the original circuit board.
I am really not sure what direction to go in and was hoping that someone here could give me some help... thanks!
