Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand on a custom proton pack?

Has anyone figured out how to wire the electronics of the pack to a Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand? I have one custom-built pack here that uses the light kits that are from the shop here. That custom-built pack has a lot of 3D printed parts and then all of the knobs and clippards and stuff are real metal parts. That pack came out to being close to 30 pounds which is a killer to wear all through an event.
I am thinking of purchasing a second wand and building a new and lighter pack.

Wow over 2000 views and not a single reply..... so as of right now there is not a plug and play way to use the wand with the gbfans board. However you can use the pack lights and wire a separate speaker from the Spengler wand and use that in your pack. There’s a video on YouTube explaining how this is done.

GBDRE760's answer is pretty spot-on.
That said I know there is a seller frankengeek who does kits for the spirit packs and he has hinted he might be working on something for the Hasbro Wand.
Also if you are looking for a lighter proton pack, I would check out modding a spirit pack. I used to have a full-sized pack and one of the headaches I always had with it was going to Halloween events, like pub crawls and stuff. It got heavy and was hard to move around in crowds and doors and stuff. I modded a spirit pack to fit the afterlife theme and go with my Hasbro wand and I got to tell you it's a huge difference in comfort. Weight-wise it's similar to wearing a backpack. Yes obviously its less accurate but out at a Halloween pub crawl no one is going to care.

There is no "plug in" option since there is no plug like the Mattel wand. Any option requires cracking the wand open and soldering to switches.
The problem with the Spengler wand is that it turns off after a minute or so so youd have to keep turning it off and back on again.

If the wand turns off after a bit I wonder if it would be a bad thing to just gut it and move a GB Fans Light kit into it and then wire the stock tip of the gun to where the light for the tip would have plugged into the tip light from the GB Fans kit. I wonder if that would work.
