The CF 5.6’s take 7.4V. I don’t think the “voltage hack” worked on those.

Thank you! I will do that!

I’d use the CF 5.6’s and wire red and blue in parallel, with a big resistor on the red. You want it to be about 400mA for a decent purple. That’s...

Thanks again for the advice. I will stick with the next highest one.

You would risk blowing the LED. I ALWAYS recommend getting the next highest one.

if you can source it sure, that 'closest resistor' part is just to guide you to the closest value the store carries is all, though some resistance...

One more question. When using the TCSS calculator, can I install the EXACT resistor I need to run each LED at 100% if they don't have one close...

Thank you so much, everyone, for all your help on this hacked and slashed (maybe a little ugly) budget build/modification!! I will post some...

I would use 750 mA for Red, 1000mA for other colors.

Ok. That makes perfect sense now. That is why only the red LED is lighting up right now. I will use that calculator to figure out each resistor....

it's typical practice to put a resistor on each die (color). Sharing a resistor you would likely suffer from either diminished brightness or even a...

No. The color extenders were specifically for CF v6 - v9. They aren’t for other boards. And the CFX doesn’t use it because it handles everything on...

Thank you for that! So that I correctly understand you, hypothetically speaking if I were to have ether a Crystal Focus Sound Module X MK3, Golden...

Thank you. I have it hooked up right now with a 100ohm resistor (I know that's too high) on the positive lead and only red is lighting up. 100ohm...

Hi, new here (first post) so apologies if a dumb question. I'm looking to convert my BS Kylo into a static display hilt. This post is great, and...

NPXL hilt side connector clear covers, sized to fit in the MHSv2 lens adapter setup please!

The color extender was specifically designed for the CFv6 - v9. You’re not likely going to be able to mix colors with a board like that.

the resistors needed for the LEDs can go on the negative lines. Doesn't really matter too much if the resistor is before or after the LED in the...

UPDATE: I've been working on wiring up the board and was able to get it kind of working. Ha. More testing lead me to discover a few things: 1. The...

Thank you for the quick response and suggestions.

Should be doable, would need a PEx for the 3rd channel, a tri-cree lens, and the appropriate resistors for the LEDs. NBv4 is a dated board at this...

Hi. You will have to post pics of the saber. The last time I saw examined some of his hilts was about 5-ish years ago. The main problem is that the...
