I plan on making some cool sabers. This place is great. Good people and great shop.
I'm fairly good mechanically but I don't know how to do electronics
I plan on making 4
My Girlfriend's (the first one I'll make) will be purple blade (haven't decided to go with white led and filter (the easy route) or tri-rebel only attaching blue and red) it will also have a crystal chamber with a large amethyst inside suspended by brass wire.
9703
a potentiometer to use on the red to dial it in so it is not too pink
The questions I have are what resisters do I need after the Buck puck
the blue and red will be run in parallel
the accent LED will be NTE30121 - 5mm Super Bright Purple LED Indicator (hopefully it will make the Amethyst look like it is glowing
Reverse voltage: 5V
Continuous forward current: 30mA
Peak forward current: 100mA
The other sabers are TBD
Thank you for any help
