I am still waiting for it but was thinking about power. Would I wire the 9v battery to the existing electronics in the pack? I have been looking around and found a similar kit where they ran the wand l8ghts off the existing 3x AA battery pack.. (Below)
Pretty sure that they’re entirely different voltages, unless the circuit board says otherwise. For example, some kits are labelled “VIN 3.7-12V”, which means they can run from any voltage in that range.
But the Spirit pack runs off 4.5V, and the Jupiter kit runs off 9V. So if you try to connect 4.5V to the jupiter kit it may not power up (undervoltage), if you connect 9V to the Spirit pack it might burn out (overvoltage, aka “releasing the smoke monster”).
You can buy DC converters (also known as a “buck converter”), that would allow you to convert the voltage from one to the other, if you really need to run everything from one power supply.
No idea what that YouTube video was supposed to be.
I can’t say for sure if the jupiter kit only runs off 9V but that’s what it looks like to me, based on the product descriptions.
Thank you for the reply. Haha yeah I dont know what happened with that link, I fixed it now. Anyways that’s what I was afraid of. Ugh oh well. I wanted them on the same power supply so I could wire the trigger from the stock pack to the trigger from the wand light kit so it would have sound when pressed but obviously don’t want to fry the stock board having them connected.
