Current needed for a white Seoul P4.

[Machinimax]

If I researched correctly, is the current needed for a white Seoul P4 350 mA? If someone can confirm this I would appreciate it. Thanks!

minimum yes. they're rated for 1000mA and i run several of mine at 1500mA, with the TCSS copper heatsinks and a tiny bit of arctic silver 5.

Alrighty. Then if I use a P4 with the Petit this would be perfect:

n = 0.15 x 1A x 1024 / 3.3
n = 46.5

Set the LED parameter on the board to 47.

yep that's it.

[Machinimax]

yep that's it.

Thank you very much for your help and patience.

any time hon.

awesome. Just got a white P4 and waiting on my reflashed pc from MH. Gotta write this down or something. Thanks to both of you, especially Az. ;)
Oh, just to be clear, the above formula is to run what Ma? 1500?

[Azmaria Dei]

46/47 = 1000mA

70 = 1500mA

AZ actually did the math already but the equation is to calculate the value you have to set the for the LED parameter on the PC-L. This all depends on how much current your LED can handle. In our case, we're using the P4s and they can handle 1A. So when we plug that in, the value comes on to about 46.

Thanks and thanks again!
I suck at math so i need to copy your homework lol

Ha ha!! I guess that Calculus course I'm taking this summer is paying off!

It's not a problem good sir. Happy to assist! I'm actually a rookie saber builder myself but I'm learning quickly.
