Totally meant TCSS, no idea what CSB is. Custom saber buddies, lol? Well anyway, hello everyone, first time poster. So let's just get into it!
So about a year or so ago, I ordered some parts, and bought a Hasbro lightsaber, and gutted it. Then... it fell by the wayside, collecting dust. Now with Halloween approaching I was rummaging around and found the old parts, and here they are!

[[A note: The glass lens for the LED I now realized was not in the pictures. I have it, so, that's accounted for as well as the heat sink. That's in the hilt itself right now.]]
So here is why the post is kind of strange. I can't remember what the hell I was doing haha. At the time I did, but it's been a while. Fortunately, most of the board is labeled and with it's original parts still soldered there, I have a pretty good idea of what goes where. All I am wondering is, does it seem like I missing anything? I'm pretty sure this is about all I need for a real basic build with some sound. The other thing I can't remember is, why did I order some resistors?
Anyways, I'm gonna try piecing this thing together tomorrow night, hopefully I won't break anything. This close to Halloween, it'll be hard getting parts!
[[Edit again: I figured out where one of the resistors goes. I was going with a direct drive approach, since this was my first time. So, I guess one is going from the battery pack to the LEDs. Still not sure about the other one yet]]
