Change [image] for [IMG] and it will show your pics :wink:

As for your invention, :lol: :lol: :lol: ... You´re really powering it through the 5v of the USB port? That could be an interesting idea in the end...

P.S: Is that PC I see the one depriving us of our sleep? :lol: :wink:

He, he It worked! I had some old usb pluags and was trying to fix my mouse when I came across one with only the + and - wires. So, I thought, eh why not?

And yes that is the computer :evil: and btw the graphics card isnt working again :evil:

Florida rocks like that. I do enjoy when we get some sense of winter though.

We got about the same amount here. Finally got to test out the old snowmobiles I picked up during the summer. It nice finally living someplace that has winter and summer and not just the rainy season.

Sounds sweet, last week some kids at my school bouhgt theres and were riding them on the fields. Of course, there wasnt enough snow then and they ripped up all the grass :roll:

Still snowing here, and I officially have the day off school tomorrow~!

Funeral sevices will be held for ti-el_terall on tuesday afternoon. The poor fellow was burried alive in snow while working on a lightsaber. :cry:
J/K. :lol:

I wish we got snow here. All we get is 40 degree nights. Nothin' special. :(

Great job on the USB saber, Ti!

I just read this post AFTER seeing your other one on doing the charging thing. There's your answer... 5v... BUT... at what current? The batteries may need to be charged more slowly than the "draw" when running them. I don't know. Just be careful. :)

But, hey, that mini saber looks great! It almost looks like the first half of my "Frankensaber" where I have a Mace "top" and a Luke "bottom", hahahah! It's 9.25", and runs with an FX board + K2 Amber. Not a great saber, but decent enough... :)

It's still snowing here (Edmonton Alberta Canada), but the difference is that we have - 20 degree celsius (-4 fahrenheit)... and this is normal for December!

I live on Hoth.

Hey novastar I remember that saber, and I may have to do something similar if I ever change this saber, I dont even have the bottom half of my mace :shock:
