All buttons lighting...

yeah maybe but idk it would be pretty hard and im trying to get everything i need before i start the project and idk how i wud hook up the lm386 with 16 leds or 24 if i did the home row and a speaker in umd door.

[Blazinkaos]

then split up i7vSa7vi7yu can have on lm386 for 12 of the leds and another for the other 12.

[i7vSa7vi7y]

what im saying is i wouldnt know how to hook everything up. like i need a diagram and all that. and for the home row ima wait and see how his turns out. im also gunna add a speaker in the UMD door and possible the internal chotto shot. The locations for LEDs are

Heres where the leds will be.
all d pad and X,O,[],/\ = 8
triggers and speaker holes = 4
umd door around speaker = 4

I've made several diagrams relating to the lm386 with speakers, LEDs, or both. Unfortunately I'm not at my computer right now so I'm unable to link you the pictures right now. (I'm on my iPod touch) The diagrams are floating around on this site though. If someone else would like to find them for you they should be able to. Otherwise I'll post them sometime tomorrow.

[Blazinkaos]

Yea rceck done several but some had to be edited after they were tested.

[i7vSa7vi7y]

alright. thanks for the help. is there a certaint way i have to do it depending on how many LEDs or anything like that? ill search for it when i get home from school and thank you that would be great if you could make 1 for me.

When your wiring up the leds make sure there in a parallel not series.

[i7vSa7vi7y]

wait a series would be like ----0------0-----0-----0 basically right?

[rceckspurt13]

Yeah that's series. That's how you dont want to put them. I'll put up those diagrams in a little bit once I get my computer booted up.

Here are the diagrams ive made for the LM386 in various applications:

Speaker- Two Different Ways:


Speaker and leds:


Switchable Leds- Solid/Sound reactive:


Switchable Leds- Purple/Blue and Solid/Sound Reactive:


^That one is the one that was edited. Only the Bottom switch was changed from a 3.6v source to a 5v one. Its also the most complicated.

[Blazinkaos]

wait a series would be like ----0------0-----0-----0 basically right?

Yes thats correct.

Take a look at those diagram they will hep you and make sure to test them. Some times there a few flaws that have to be fixed

[i7vSa7vi7y]

wow thanks alot. that sounds like a good idea to have them lit sound reactent. so if i hooked a switch for the leds to output it would only turn off and on/sound reactant right? what would i have to do to make it. lite,off,sound reactant?

ok for audio +,- i could use the original psp speaker wire right? and where would the +5 volt input go? one more question, what is ground?

sorry for the noob questions lol im still new to this.

[rceckspurt13]

Your welcome. If you follow the second diagrM, you can make the LEDs be sound reactive or just on constantly.

The audio comes from the original psp speaker. - and +.

Ground means - and there is a 5volt spot on the motherboard. It's below the right speaker connector. Someone may have a picture of it so just wait.

[Blazinkaos]

Yea just hook all the ground wires of the leds to the wifi instead of installing a switch or there is another but you have to cut a trace and that is the hold on the power switch.
