Will this work?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

I know nothing of the nes, but you should be able to apply this to just about any portable, I know, I have.

This is my fool proof diagram that I am proud of.

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, what is the yellow bit in the middle? It seems to be wired to the off part of each switch and the ground.

Other than that bit of confusion, that is a very useful diagram.

Is there any way I can set it up so like, it will only charge when the switch is in the "off" position. I want to use 1 switch for everything.

Here is a diagram I made, it is well-named.

Image

Now I will ATTEMPT to describe what I drew.

Battery "+" is connected to YOBO, LCD, and middle switch positions.
Battery "-" is connected to Left switch connectors and that is also connected to the charging port, then to battery.
Right switch connectors connect to "-" on the YOBO and LCD as to power them only when the switch is flipped and unable to charge the battery.

If anyone can understand that and tell me if it would work, thanks.

EDIT: Better diagram.

First off, quit saying pNES. Its beginning to creep me out. ANyways, this should/might help you with the one switch thing.

Image

This diagram assums(due to my lack of switch knowledge) that lipping this switch is like flipping 3 switches at once. Essentially, this iw hat I do when I turn it off anyways.

Wow, I made a real error. I could easily combine the bottom two rows.

Revised:

Image

All I did now was move the3 pins from row three up to row two, as they all leech off the same thing

But, your seriously limiting yourself with only one switch.

If you follow the diagram, you wont be able to run the unit while it is charging without an external power source that is not your charger.

I personally reccomend 3 switches, but this diagram will work fine, if you only want one switch.

Try it and tell us if it works? :P

I really do have a hard time reading your diagram. Well, my diagram accomplished what you asked, so I reccomend you abide by it, as it is possible to wire it exactly like that. I have no idea whats going on in your diagram, really. I could simplify it down to one row, but you could not use the unit at all while charging.
