Hello,
As most of u know, when hitting with a bladebuilder hasbro 2015 the effect on the blade is a flickering: basically the light turn off and on rapidly to make the effect. I want to avoid this....and actually since im using a rgb led i would love that one of the 'other' colors fills the missing light part. Can this be done someway?

You can use the same PNP wiring method attaching the speaker Negative to the second Die. However, when the saber is lit it will have a Mixed color blade. For instance I have one saber wired this way for a purple blade with red FoC.

Can u post a short video about?
So when the bladr is hit or lit u have the multicolor blade?
And u have this attaching the pnp base to spk neg?

First section where he says "This is for when I am channeling the Dark Side"

Resistors are Blue .5ohm and red 3.2ohm, now on a 3.7v.

Badly, my configuration is a bit different:
I ordered a rotary switch 8 position 1 way to cycle the colors through it, so i can decide what color i want to show during my usage.
now, in order to make the blade sparkle with a color instead of nothing, i should use or the green (which is the color used in the film) or yellow (green+red) or a basic white (r+g+b), despite my choice, i should wire the green wire of the led (or the sum of the desired color to the spk neg, right?) I'm gonna post soon a wiring schema.
Can u help me to figure out the resistances for the red, green and blue led?

So, as you can see my diagram is slightly different, mostly because i use a different recharge port (a micro usb) and a different battery (3000mA Samsung). According with your info i put a yellow wire on the spk- in order to fill the 'empty' color effect with a yellow color.
The switch 2 is intended to be used to avoid all sounds if u want just practice without wasting battery or without making noises. Wired like that should also avoid the flickering effect of the yellow wire... or maybe all the flikering effects?
Since the RGB led needs particular attention on the current instead of Voltage, what should be the resistances for it?

Thx for the answers
