Activity Stream

Diagram looks good to me! So for resistor is fine in the picture you have. If you wire it as shown(with the additional bridging of the negative lines...

That’s the main thing. You might need other resistors, but until you fix the picture, I can’t see it well enough to tell you. 😉

FJK, Thanks for the info on the image posting. Please let me know if having a larger quality version of what I posted would help. So only the...

To post pics, usually you host it offsite, and post a BBCode link. For the Neopixel blade, the resistor goes on the blade side PCB

The sleeve material has a coating you will need to sand off. It’s pretty tedious so if you can, make a jig and spin with a power drill while gripping...

If that is your first saber, congrats on the design!!!!!! Great job.

Nicely done and congrats on your first!

I pulled a cf 6.10 out of an old saber and am trying to transplant it. Got it all worked up and have this sound happening ...

It's very cool. Good job!

The extension is the "4" Double Female Grooved without holes". I did not have it powder coated, I used a primer and matte spray paint, so over time...

Dude that saber is awesome! Very impressive for a 1st build. What extension did you use for the grip? I like it a lot. Black powder coat?

Thank you!! I am very happy with how it turned out.

Very nice. The grip section looks good in black. Well done man. Greenie:mrgreen:

First Lightsaber Build

Thanks Tom, I posted on TRA and I was asked which version of the KR blade I have from the css. I figured it was v1 because of the item number it was...

My guess is that you have the V1 Pixel Strips that are 264 wired in series. 3.2 Volts is not a "full" battery. A fully charged 18650 is 4.1-4.2...

Okay. First of all, I'd like to apologize up front. I wasn't able to fix the problem. Therefore, this thread will likely be a waste of your time if...

Perfect, thank you very much for confirming that!

Just realized I had the wrong speaker mount in the wishlist. I substituted it for the one that works with the threaded rods. Also added 24awg wire...

The 3.7v is not underpowered, it is the correct battery. You need to use the 15A version. Pixels neither need nor want 5v, in actuality their ideal...

Glad you got it sorted. Data is often a culprit.
