Dear Jedi and Sith,
i need your help and i hope youre better than my german friends.
Ok here we go. Im getting a Hasbro FX Luke Skywalker ANH lightsaber with removal blade. At first here the original schematic / wiring diagram. Because this board is a bit different from the others without removal blade. Please note that i used only 3 LEDs in the schematic but in real its more of course.
9385
My first question is: When i use 2 or 3 times more LEDs as the standart Hasbro String has (so around 2 - 2.3 Ampere). Will the board (and the Clash sensor) burn or fried? Or just the LEDs glows half so bright?
Ok my 2nd part. Apart from the above. I know the boards bring max 1 - 1.2 A. My Led string need around 2- 2.3 A. So to solve the problem im using transistors (see pic).
9386
Please note that im using instead of the 3 AAA, 18650 Li Ion for more current. Ok the idea is to use the power direct from the 18650. In this way im using transistors. The reason is: transistors are cheap, can be bought as SMD version (there is not much space in the hilt) and they can bring up to 800 mah. Wich is enough for each LED stripe. If someone want more power i need Mosfets are needed. The Hasbro board using transistors for the LEDs too. Ok to keep it simple the idea is to make a small board wich come between the hasbro board and the led string. Under the line the hasbro board transistors switch the new transistors wich switch the LED String.
So please can you check if i did a mistake? I hope it will work so and can maybe help than others too. Maybe i do a new Thread than with more Pics and informations to the build. But first i need a few good people to check my idea and schematic.
Thank you very much for your help. =)
