Any builders out there that can help me answer this?
Got a x tech dooku with proffie and just sick of taking it apart to charge. Wondering if I can replace the on off kill switch with a 2.1mm recharge port and mount that. Is a 2.1mm port the same as a kill switch and would that be ok with proffie 2.2?
A charge port will work fine as replacement for a kill switch. However, they are wired a bit different, so will have to run a ground wire to it as well.
I am not familiar with the chassis, but you would need to make sure the port would fit as well as have access to the negative terminal of the battery in order to wire the port up for charging.
Awesome thanks for the reply
First I wanted to know if it was possible, now I’m gonna try and dig in and see if I can figure existing wiring out
Do you know if there’s any trustworthy Smith’s that could be hired to modify hilts?
Yea, there is plenty, but I couldn’t give you names. You could ask on reddits r/lightsabers, or find a facebook group.
It would be easier to simply use a blade plug charger. You would need to reprogramme the Proffie, but if you have a copy of the config that’s currently loaded onto it, that would be easy enough.
This link explains a little more:

Would this need the little extra circuit board or does proffie not need that
The extra board is built into the blade plug charger, so no modifications are needed for the hilt beyond reprogramming the Proffieboard.
Ok that will be perfect
Do you know where I can find info on reprogramming. I tried googling and can’t seem to find anything about reprogramming for blade plug charging
