I'm building my first saber, and need to make sure I have everything I need. I'm mainly focused on the resistors, but I could have forgotten something else easily.


G/G/W Tri-Rebel
NB Soundboard
Power Xtender (for FoC)
Yellow LED indicator
Red LED Indicator
2W 28 MM Bass Speaker
Heat Sink V3
MWS Short Momentary Switch (Green Ring LED)
18650 3.7V PCB Protected Battery Module
18 Ohm 1/4W Resistor
82 Ohm 1/4w Resistor (x2)

I'd get one of the thermal adhesive pads to attach your LED to the heatsink.

The 2 green dice on the Tri-Rebel can survive without a resistor. You'll likely want one for the white die if you're using that for FoC.

I don't see a hilt, so I'm assuming you've got that covered.

You also need to figure out which resistor you will need for the white dice. Also how do you plan to connect your accent LEDs?

I already have the hilt. I'm just sorting out the electronics. Yes, I'm going to connect the accent LEDs. I also added the adhesive pad. So all I need is a resistor for the white diode?
