Hey guys and gals. I am a star wars enthusiast like most of you and have been wanting to build my own saber. I have been reading through tons of forum posts but can't find exactly what I am looking for and wanted to ask a few questions. But first here is a little about me and what I want to do.
I am a backline (instrument) tech for alot of bands and award shows you see on TV. I have a pretty good grasp on wiring and soldering, as I have had to fix plenty of amps/keyboard/speakers in my day. I am not saying that a simple saber build is beneath me but I know off the bat I would like to do more than just have it light up, and the wiring/soldering aspect of that doesn't scare me. Here is what I am looking to do;
MHS system for sure
purple blade (which I can find the wiring diagram for but am not sure which LED is the right one)
purple momentary switch
But when It comes to deciding speaker, sound card, batteries I am a little lost.
Do the sound cards come loaded with sound or do you have to add the sound to them?
Is it better to get the speaker battery pack combo or should I be looking into a rechargeable internal battery?
is there something that I am not seeing that I should be aware of?
I appreciate any help that can be offered, even if its just new key words to search for.
Thanks
