I will build my saber soon, and want to use the electronic 2010 saber soundboard as well (I will make 3 sabers actually, so it will be some sweet practice, since they will be my first ever...).
I've put the buckpuck in my cart, but after reading this topic along the way, that seems to be a no go...
I want the following three LED types with the 4AAA battery holder:
All P4 LEDs:
White: Volt 3.25 Lum 240 mA 1000
Green:Volt 3.25 Lum 182 mA 1000
Blue: Volt 3.25 Lum 38 mA 1000
All with a 2010 soundboards, that I will pick up tomorrow from the toystores in my neighbourhood.
So I take it I have to get the 2.2ohm 5w resistor for all, even though the store says: Select 3.3 Ohm 5 watt resistor OR 1000mA buckpuck for Seoul P4 White, Green, and Blue?
That brings me to the transistor... you 'americans' get it @ radioshack... but I am a simple dutchy from the Netherlands and don't have Radioshack here! :P
The ones ya'll mention is the BD242 and the TIP42G PNP as being the right ones.
I can (and will)get mine @ conrad over here (http://www1.conrad.nl/scripts/wgate/zcop_nl3/~flN0YXRlPTQwMDc2NjU5Nzk=?~template=PCAT_AREA_S_BR OWSE&glb_user_js=Y&shop=NL2&p_searchstring=transistor&s_haupt_kategorie=&zhmmh_area_kz=&p_init_ipc=X&p_page_to_display=DirektSearch&~cookies=1&scrwidth=1440)!
This site doesn't have the TIp42G but they do have the BD242 (http://www1.conrad.nl/scripts/wgate/zcop_nl3/~flNlc3Npb249UDkwX05MX0IyQzpDX0FHQVRFMTM6MDAwMS4wM Dk4LjU2YmVlMjM5Jn5odHRwX2NvbnRlbnRfY2hhcnNldD1pc28 tODg1OS0xJn5TdGF0ZT0yNzI1NzYwOTE=?~template=PCAT_A REA_S_BROWSE&mfhelp=&p_selected_area=%24ROOT&p_selected_area_fh=&perform_special_action=&glb_user_js=Y&shop=NL2&vgl_artikel_in_index=&product_show_id=&p_page_to_display=DirektSearch&~cookies=1&zhmmh_lfo=&zhmmh_area_kz=&s_haupt_kategorie=&p_searchstring=bd242&p_searchstring_artnr=&p_searchstring_manufac_artnr=&p_search_category=alle&fh_directcall=&r3_matn=&insert_kz=&gvlon=&area_s_url=&brand=&amount=&new_item_quantity=&area_url=&direkt_aufriss_area=&p_countdown=&p_80=&p_80_category=&p_80_article=&p_next_template_after_login=&mindestbestellwert=&login=&password=&bpemail=&bpid=&url=&show_wk=&use_search=3&p_back_template=&template=&kat_save=&updatestr=&vgl_artikel_in_vgl=&titel=&darsteller=®isseur=&anbieter=&genre=&fsk=&jahr=&jahr2=&dvd_error=X&dvd_empty_error=X&dvd_year_error=&call_dvd=&kna_news=&p_status_scenario=&documentselector=&aktiv=&gewinnspiel=&p_load_area=$ROOT&p_artikelbilder_mode=&p_sortopt=&page=&p_catalog_max_results=20).
So, CAN I, with your experience, using the three P4 LEDs, 4AAA holder, a 2.2ohm 5w resistor and the BD242 transistor make my lightsabers work?
Getting a bit dazzled by all the text in this topic... (and its kinda late -_-')
Anyone want to comment on this, in order to kick me in the right direction?
*EDIT: After carefully reading the following page (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=11296), I had done some calculations: I came up with a 1.5ohm 5w resistor, by calculating the values and using the LED Resistor Chart from the shop... Again... am I in the right direction here, or am I going downhill even more?!
I have posted this as a reply, in another thread: 2010 Electronic Lightsaber w/ DVD Tutorial.
The thing is... I need to know if I am in the right direction regarding the resistors that are needed for 2010 Hasbro electronic soundboards? Because first I thought Buckpuck because I use the P4 LEDS... then I had read in this thread that I would need 2.2ohm 5w resistors... but with my own calculations with my item setup... i come with the 1.5 ohm... PLEASE HELP if ya'll can! I would really appreciate it, cause I'm SOOO ready to order my parts... but I have to order the right stuff ofcoz! ;)
